    I thought i hadn't seen much of you, but really understandable you spending a lot of time with the kids in the hols.

    The little pets look so cute. Perhaps you can try growing some bits for them to keep the food bills down a bit.
  • Guinea pigs love dandylions, which grow as weeds everywhere!!

    I can definitely grow dandelions!!
    I was thinking about growing herbs etc and carrots, lettace.

    Kids and I have decided to rename the piggies as Roxy is a little tinker, so we have named then Tinka and Belle :rotfl:

    Does anyone know where I can get some cheap bed throws/fleeces?

    IKEA do bed sized fleeces at about £2.99, from memory. Market stalls are also good for cheapy ones.

    My pigs eat dandelions (we pick them off the canal path when we run out!), the trimmings from the runner beans at the mo, carrot tops (and bottoms!), outsides of cabbages, cauliflowers, bendy celery (and the leafy bits), sprout trimmings, ends of cucumbers (and bendy cucumbers), spinach, chard (easy to grow and prolific!) Some will eat apples (not mine, but mine as a child did) and tomatoes.. I rarely buy veg specifically for them, unless it's whoopsied to pence.

    I have added a hay loft and got a new bargain fleece from my fave charity shop for just 50p! and the perfect cushion for them that states 110% naughty!! The cage now looks girly for our little girls.

    They are getting braver by the day and now know that when the cosy bed comes in that they have to jump into it for either floortime, laptime or garden time. Its so cute!

    Took the kids swimming this morning, tried to get the british gas free swimming but all of aug was unavailable so just paid for me as they go free anyway with the lessons.
    Going to a maze park tomorrow care of Tescos :D and using that to go and see my mum as well :)

    Ebay is at £25 clear profit at the moment.
    Am thinking about doing the shopping.com reviews but worried that wont get paid into the right paypal account again!
    There probably wont be any extra OPs next month as I have been spending and not earning with the kids off and new piggies costing extra in groceries and accessories!!
    I only have about £30 spare for the rest of this month arrghhh!
