    Shevs You are the most dedicated person I know to those bunnies, I'm sure they won't miss one day :D How was the gig?


    Tinseltoes - Well done you are getting through the list!! What are you putting in the advent calenders?

    Anyone seen our leader pinkladymel? I hope she isn't still suffering from the garlic :(


    I love my bunnys to pieces, if I work out how to post pictures I will have to put some pics of them up. I even have little bunny clothes for them. I wasnt happy with them this morning cought them humping, its a good job I have had them both snipped, I didnt know where to look!:rotfl:

    The gig was really good, I had a brill time. The lads thought it was their worst gig ever but the audience loved them. Their are their own worst critic. If the crowd are happy they should be happy.

    I hope mel is ok, I like a bit of garlic as much as the next person but I couldnt live with it 24/7. Poor girl.

    Poor MiniRoxieW, hope he is OK. This is the problem with public transport - 4 buses and all day out for an appt that will be prob less than an hour. No wonder we all want to drive!

    Shevs - do post some pics!!! Cute that they have clothes. The saying "at it like rabbits" is so true isn't it! my friend had an unfortunate incident with 2 'girl' rabbits which turned out to be 1 girl and 1 boy = 10 baby rabbits, then one of the sons got involved with the mum before they separated the babies = 11 more baby rabbits. incest is rife in the rabbit community! She had a harness for hers so she could take them for a walk!!!!!

    Yep I have harnesses, a little pink on for the girl and a little green on for the boy and I have collars for them too. Mine are brother and sister from the same litter, but that doesnt bother them at all. I had them both snipped as soon as they were old enough. I was still living at home at the time and my parents would of killed me if I told them that they had babys. I did catch the little boy rabbit humping her face one time before they were snipped and I prayed to god that he hadnt figured out how to do it properly lol:rotfl:

    I'm determined to get into things now. My birthday was yesterday, and I got the sewing machine I wanted from DH, sewing stuff from DD, and MIL/FIL gave me a beautiful wooden sewing box. So now I can start on sewing a few Christmas ornaments and my advent calendar! :j

    We got a few fiddly things done over the weekend that we've been meaning to do - putting up carbon monoxide detector, hanging up the key cabinet, hanging the smoke detectors (they'd been propped up in the rooms since the move), updated our car registration address, and I've finally caught up on the laundry. Have to enjoy that while it lasts! We've got most of the Christmas gifts bought - just have to wrap them now.

    So now I can start working towards Christmas a bit. :j

    Grr, my mother called last night to tell me excitedly that she'd bought a game for DS's Christmas present - and it's the one thing I've already got him! SO now trying to work out what to do as I don't have the receipt. Not sure if there's anyone else of the right age to give it to on my list... might end up having one version of it at home and one at nanna's house!

    Can you ask your Mum to take yours back with her receipt?

    is it a computer game? If so you can trade it in or eBay it?

    Seems im here on my own today :confused: done another job from this weeks list and loads of housework today so im gonna chill tonight with the laptop and search for prices or deals for the kids stuff, list it all and keep it in my bag for everytime i go out.
    Doing the pots of gold for my mum, step dad and dad from the kids so need to hunt down some gold pots, something which could be used again would be a bonus but not 'too' bothered.
