    Oh I had a lovely time! Actually saying to Wol what my situation is - in a fair bit of detail, as you can only really do face to face - and not prettying it up for my mum, who's too old, or my sister, who's got too many troubles of her own - it was .....startling, lets say. I conked out in the evening completely. But I loved the time with Wol!

    How are you Numpty?

    I had a lovely time thank you KC :A- sent you a text message yesterday evening but it doesn;t seem to have been delivered :confused::confused:

    Well KC took me to a lovely garden centre ..unfortunately we didn;t see any piggies (the ones that were there were hiding).:(...but there was.......

    ...........A PLANT SALE :j:j:D.

    I got some beautiful shrubs knocked down from £20 to £5 :j:j plus some herbs and a clematis. Also bought some megasorb to try (like sawdust but paper pulp for horses and cheaper)...but which I have only been able to find online with horrendous postage costs up til now so have stuck with the wood shavings.

    The back to KC's for a lovely lunch and a mooch round her house and garden. Lula honey....if you fancy some more digging....:eek:....I suggest we make a trip to KC's (after it's rained and softened up the soil :D)

    Yesterday evening I got back and mowed the lawns ....and then did four hours of ironing :eek::eek:...got the clothes mountain done but still have all the sheets to do :eek::eek::eek: (which are now terribly creased from sitting scrunched up in the ironing basket for weeks :o:o)

    Must start doing some work today before I get even further behind :o

    Oooh Lemon Tree....you have three girlies...how very appropriate :D

    Given that Iroko is already on-line dating with Piglet's Speedy; that leaves bachelor boys Beech, Charlie and Bandit ;);)

    (Bailey is now in with Muffin and Pebble..:cool:..and brothers Maple and Willow have each other for company :D)

    Bandit 's wound is healing up nicely now. He is much more perky and active ....although he really is loving this whole towel thing......:o....(I'm a bit worried it might be difficult to wean him off when the time comes for him to go back into Piggie Palace :rotfl:....supplying him with a clean towel everday has rather increased the washing mountain :rotfl:)

    I have also been giving Grommie the herbal stuff/vitamins...and there has been a dramatic improvement..:j...he is putting on weight, his eyes and coat look better and he even has a spring in his step ;).......So what I took to be signs of old age (he is over 5 years old) may have just been the start of vitamin deficiency. And as winter is drawing in, I'm now supplementing all the piggies dry food with vitamins using a pump spray ......:cool:

    Any chance you could post some piccies of your girlies for my boys please :D
