    Pigpen - rabbits are useful aren't they? surely you can feed the family easily if you start with a pair :p!

    NO!!!

    Bunnies are for huggling and snuggling.. they is must too cute!!

    DD1 refuses to even feed the moggies rabbit catfood!!! And I think all meat containing pet food should be mouse/vermin containing..

    guess I should go feed the gremlins.. savoury mince and new potatoes tonight so won't take too long to construct a plate of slop for DS3 to hysteria over :p (he hates gravy :rolleyes:)

    Hi all,

    Home from work and have cancelled gym (again), no time and I feel sick cos I ate too much biccies at work today (I am a big bloater)! Got the pics tonight with my friend, she wants to see Transformers, I don't - her idea, guess who wins! Anyway gonna have bite to eat, yet another baked potato, OH is at AC/DC tonight, I wanted to go too but thought he'd prefer a lads night out.

    After dinner, clean kitchen floor - this sounds exactly like what I said yesterday, will get the floor done honest - and the light shade, forgot about that!

    :xmastree:


    I am not sure that I will get to this weeks challenge, though I wanted to drop in and say:


    HELLO and I Love the thread and the lists and the....... well everything!

    !*

    Hello :wave:



    Went to garden centre to cheer myself up as the bereavement counselling has opened up some raw wounds and I have rung in sick to work as head cannot deal with this at the moment. Unsure what to do tomorrow :confused:

    Garden centre worked and cheered me up for a while. Bought some primulas for next year to flower which I love and they were only 50p a plant so bought 10! Also got 3 lots of cherries for 60p each and 3 lots of gooseberries for 10p each! Need to think about what I can do with the gooseberries now!

    Going to go into the garden in a bit after I have swept and mopped the bathroom floor ready for a quick clean up later on.


    Massive hugs to you - I agree, a garden centre always makes me feel better!

    Ok, ok, Tuesday list completed so that's two stars this week!!!!! Just to please you xx

    Thanks for your hugs Dusty - I'm still hoping it's a virus that can sometimes cause inflammation within the joints. After our last visit I was told it was because he was double jointed so I was expecting him to be discharged today. Bit of a shock to find out they now think it is something. I still find it odd that he gets the pain just before he grows out of all his clothes...they insist there's no such thing as growing pains though! (sorry, that turned into a rant didn't it!!).

    Going to s/s the kitchen then help DD with her cycling course work and get DS and his friend to cubs....it never stops! xx

    Ooh.. I am perplexed... Most of you will recall my £1203 combined gas/electricity bill from April... Well... Having had the meter read for that bill it was read again last Friday and the new combined bill is.. £357..

    Why? How?

    NOTHING has been changed.. I still have 2 washers that are on almost constantly.. 2 dryers which are used still.. I refuse to peg out underwear and tiny things!

    The main difference was £400 on the gas bill.. most likely from the lack of heating being on... I think we will be having clothes made from duvets this winter to avoid another killer bill like that one but surely £133 a month when the heating is only on 6 hours a day is unreasonable and not possible? I didn't have it on while the children were at school.. I put the little electric fire on in the middle room.. so it was 1 hour (6-7am) while the children got dressed etc and from 5-10 while we got them ready to bed and I went to bed. I can't understand why it is so enormously different.

    :hello: everyone, and welcome to the newbies.

    As some of you already know from Facebook I had a bit of an accident yesterday in a blatant attempt to get out of flying. In a fit of classic Hex clumsiness I fell off the side step of the landrover while it was up on the ramps at the garage, sprained my ankle quite badly and gained some rather pretty bruises. Passed its MOT at least :D.

    I have updated the list as far as I can but it needs some more work. Needs a HHC later, must make dinner for the boys first, and DH if he ever gets off the phone.
