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:

Im sorry for laughing, just had tears from reading the post.

Diressing slightly, (pre-accident state), the 2nd part of the hol we stayed in a converted barn on a trout farm and they have 4 pot bellied pigs, 1 is allowed to wander, free range chickens, when it was walkies time for the dog, dd would go outside pick up a chicken and carry it around the farm with her, dont know who was the daftest!.

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr am sooooo annoyed. Trekked all the way over to the hospital to find that his app had been cancelled!! And he'd been discharged back to gp care as they didnt feel they needed to see him again. Erm hello - thanks for telling me before I let my two boys miss school and dragged them on a 2 hour several bus journey in the cold. Being emotional pregnant me I almost burst into tears.
What a waste of a day!

Ps - I do drive (and very proud of it - a bigger achievement to me then my degree as I was absolutely hopeless!). But it just took me so long (2 years) and I spent so much on lessons that theres no money left for a car! lol - typical eh!

sarah - yep its such a nightmare knowing what other family members will buy them. I've held off buying lots of ben 10 stuff as I've told other family members (who've asked) that that's what they're into at the mo. However - its sods law that noone will buy them any so they'll have no ben 10 on xmas morn It always happens!

sugajen - i've seen some pots of gold that weren't in gold bowls - just simple clear tumblers wrapped with a gold bow - they looked great and who's not going to use a tumbler? You can get ones with gold rims that would look nice:)

mum2one- - poor you! i hope you'll be sending in a letter of complaint!
