I put the rabbits in the other run and i ended up having to take it apart to get them back out.:mad: They sat in the farthest corner where i couldn't reach and wouldn't budge despite Ds2s not so gentle prodding.:cool: Ds2 was in there at one point but he couldn't lift them up as they're too heavy.
We've also been shopping today and put it away. I should think about cooking tea but i CBA, i seem to have run out of steam. I've still got loads to do aswell.

This wasn't even in the whole room (which is 14' X 12'), this is just some of what was underneath DD1's bed - 6'6" x 3'6". Wretched 17 year old nightmare.:mad: If she kicks up a stink over the intrusion, I shall merely state, 'Well, I couldn't really keep it as a shrine, sweetie'. :A

And waved DD2 off for a long weekend with her father (making sure he didn't go nuts at her because, yet again, she wasn't ready waiting at the door for him when he turned up).
I had my first coffee at 4pm.
And, in honour of this being a night off, tonight is sad single curry night!
I wonder, should I go and buy a giant tub of plain white emulsion tomorrow?I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -
