    Nothing as yet on the job front, but since I work in retail you can generally rely on friends of friends giving you a leg up. Since I worked with someone previously whose in the same company and she's already put me forward and emailed the area manager I'm hoping that gives me a couple of extra points!

    Wait till the working week starts on that one!

    I'm yet to find a fruit and veg seller in Canterbury, do you know whereabouts any farm shops were? I live in the city centre and don't drive so the closer the better, which Im guessing since its a FARM shop is unlikely!

    And yes the Frenchies have taken over!They're everywhere, blink and they've multiplied!

    Hmmm, yeah, it's stumped me too. There's a farmers market down by the West Station but I think that it more on the pricey side so that's no good, but I've never been so it could be worth a try. All of the farm shops I know of will be around the Wingham area so by the time you've driven there it will cancel out the savings. I'll ask my mum next time I speak to her and see if she can think of any!!

    CAFCGirl,

    You keep a rabbit do you?

    I had two one died a few months ago.

    Anyway I buy huge bags of what is called readi grass. it is sold in horsey places or farmer stores type places. I pay £8 ish for 18KGs. And I use that as bedding for mine as it is so cheap and they can eat it as well. And sawdust is not always good for them.

    Little bags in the pet shop of readi grass are 1KG and about £1.99 :eek:

    I buy large bag of pellets to feed my two with. What I am going to do now I only have one not sure. Unless you know someone else who has a rabbit and you can buy a big bag and split it.


    Yours


    Calley

    Not sure where I could find a store like that but I'll keep my ear out. I dont really like keeping her in sawdust, would prefer shredded paper or something, although she generally seems quite happy!

    Sorry to hear about your rabbit though xx

    Do you have an electric meter cupboard as it I would have thought it would fit in there ok.

    We use it line the bottom of the cage and the litter tray. Means they can chew while they poo :rotfl: And it means that they chew all day with it so keeps here teeth down.

    And it last for ages even when you are being generous.

    I see you have moved your gas & electricity to powergen....you will get your tesco points with them, don't forget to register your clubcard details on the web site.
    Be careful getting that smoothie maker, you really need one with a powerful motor to grind up the ice and fruit.
    Keep on keeping on.........
    Today, my BEST is good enough.

    Is yours an indoor or outdoor rabbit? I had one when I was a little girl, absolutely ginormous, someone broke in & stole it... everytime I see rabbit meat for sale I wonder if that's what happened to my Snowy....:eek:
