    Kareen.. she is a member on another group I belong.. she loves the bunnies and fell into the rescue after collecting lots of unwanted bunnies. She has a good turnaround on bunnies and they are all rehomed healthy to good loving homes.. give her a call.. she is really lovely.. I pestered her a few times when I first got mine because I'd never looked after bunnies before.

  • morning ladies.

    chasing myself again this morning. only just sat down while feeding ds2.

    done:
    • dropped ds1 at nursery, paid bill, took in some nappies
    • visited sister - was supposed to pop to parents to feed their dogs as they are away, but bil had done it - woohoo
    • done supermarket shop
    • packed it all away
    • got rid of dead things in fridge
    • posted student loan letter
    • written ILs anniversary card and posted
    • unpacked big rucksack
    • WM - load of towels
    • WM - load of babies bedding
    • kitchen - wiped tea/coffee/sugar canisters, wiped cruet set and refilled with salt/pepper
    • washed up breakie and lunch dishes
    • bathroom - put some clothes in laundry basket
    • uploaded all the holiday photos onto facebook
    • emailed friend about the weekend visit
    • IM'd another friend who i haven't talked to in a while
    • held the baby in different positions all afternoon while he scritched with belly ache - changed 4 nappies he filled in close succession
    • got chicken and naan breads out of freezer for dinner
    • shredded some stuff
    i was interested in the families discussion. i was asked if i was disappointed ds2 was a boy, followed by, oh, you'll have to have another one then from several people. yes we would like a girl, but its tough - you get what you are given. at least my boys are healthy and happy. it's very english to comment on it isn't it.

    serena i missed the news of your sons results but sorry to hear they are not as expected. i hope he can work out what he wants to do next with not too much heartache. - food - god only knows. lots of meat, lots of booze, feeding another 4 people several meals (DH's uncle, girlfriend, and 2 teenage chilkdren, one nicknamed the fruitbat because she sat and ate 5 pieces of fruit after a BBQ.) It seemed loads to us, and everyone just made pigs of themselves. E.g. cereal, yoghurt, fruit and toast or croissants for breakfast. Whereas we normally would have cereal or toast. Honestly, i was sick of the rich food as even though we were home cooking, we always buy lean mince and pad out with lentils, and use tinned toms rather than pasta sauce. we did bring home a couple of leftovers, but as we went to london for the weekend from devon, we could only take things that would travel well like tbags, ketchup, jam.

    right, grizzly baby needs dealing with, and i need to try and get something done today.

    Well done! I managed to pack two more boxes and fill a binbag. Packing is getting more difficult today as I am down to the stuff that still needs sorting before I can pack iykwim :eek:
