Furrypig I have bunnys and it sounds like the little lads are growling at you (they do growl) bunnys can reproduce all year round so it wont be springtime, its most likely there hormones. Have they been nuetered and are they kept in the same room as the girls? if so they can smell the girl bunnys. You might want to seperate them as they will probably start fighting and biting each other or get them snipped and then they can go in with the girls - but not for 10 weeks mind cos that how long it takes for all the little swimmers to completly die hth x x x

The boys have not been 'done' neither has the girl (but she has her own cage esp as she is the mum of the boys!) They are all outside together but in their own cages and the boys is much bigger.
I posted on the pet thread and I think I put myself across really badly and everyone thought I had all 3 in together!! I got some conflicting advice so will have to discuss with a vet. I did ask today and for neutering 1 male it's gonna cost £60!! I was quite shocked by that! SO not sure what to do now!

:hello:Hello everybody! :hello:

Tis I, Jamtart6 with your monthly fun task to get some money in for your money neutral pot this month.

I'm going to go gently on you this month as there are lots of Rudolph tasks which are important this month to get you on track for CHRISTMASSSSSS! :xmastree::xmassign:Did someone mention Christmas?? Time for all the Christmas smilies to get you in the mood :rudolf::xmassmile:snow_laug:santa2::snow_grin

Anyway, my challenge may be hard for some, easy for others but I want to make it manageable for all and if you are happy to PM me your progress through the month (I'll be keeping you all in check :whistle::dance:) then I'll keep a tally on the first post so we can all be proud and give each other a pat on the back.

_party_I challenge you to make £75 by 1st May. _party_
The guys on Debt-Free wannabe run a "make £10 A DAY" - this only equates to £15 PER WEEK for you guys. It is a really good thread so check it out for some ideas!

" How can I make £75 by May 1st you crazy lady?" I hear you cry??

Well that is where I am leaving it up to you. It can be in either vouchers, from eBay, daily clicks, cashback, music magpie, cashing in phones, selling your excess scrapping stash (:eek:), selling your body (:whistle:) - ANYTHING you haven't got around to doing yet, let this be THE challenge that makes you do it. I think £75 is attainable in 5 weeks, if you want to go for more then good on ya! I just think that this figure is accessible to all and I didn't want to make it too high.

As you make some ££ or vouchers, PM me the amount (as well as writing a post if you want, I will just always be able to see your amounts in PMs just in case I miss a post on here) and I will add it to the total on post 1. Who is with me?

All total updates and names of people in this challenge are now on POST 1!

there ya go Jordan

Yeah i wanna see . Yeah not bad the antibiotics have worked and my back doesn't hurt. I will go on friday for my test then i will probably get the results sometime next week.
Thank you all for your kind encouraging words of wisdom, you don't know how much you have helped.
I text him today to see if i could see him tomorrow, he called me a liar and basically he doesn't want to see me so i'm going to drop his presents in and get on with it:rolleyes:

What is the advent challenge???? I didn't get it? And what ebay challenge??:eek: OMG i am so behind!!!:rotfl:

..xx

Why a liar? Sorry, don't answer if you don't want to. You seem to know what you're going to do next, good for you. You need to focus on getting better and finding out why you're in pain and what they are going to do about it.

Jammy set a challenge for us to make £75 by the start of May - surveys, quidco, ebay, however you can

Christmas Advent Swap

This swap will commence on October 1st where full details will be released including sign-ups etc.

Due to MSE rules and regulations we are unable to conduct a swap here but I will be able to run it through our thread on UKS including creating a santa membership for you to log in to anonymously and ask your swapee questions/keep them updated :xmassign:

For those who like to prepare early, I am going to release the following information and tips:

+ I think it will be fairly certain your swapee will be female
+ You may want to save a big box, create some numbered gift tags in preparation and find some bargain paper.
+ I am going to set the budget at 15.00 with postage extra. I know this is a lot but this is a special treat to ourselves and to our friends.
+ There are couriers available but for this swap you MUST send your parcel via Royal Mail recorded.
+ Remember you will need 25 gifts and try to keep a close eye on the weight as it may cost a fortune to post! Perhaps you may like to theme them or choose gifts that really envoke the Christmas spirit?
+Swapees can sign up in October. Once I have all names you will then be assigned your swapee which you are to keep secret until Christmas day.

I hope this has answered all of your questions.

& the advent swap
