you know what, I've become so old fashioned that when you said rabbits my first thought was - "what's wrong with that, they are cheap meat!".... you meant as pets right? sorry, I'll get me coat.

LOL don't! My Opa (Grandfather) bread rabbits for food... LOVELY!!!

My Husband is going shooting this week... he promised me a few rabbits!! Am sad enough to be excited!!

But yes, we bought these two for pets!!

You are doing so well... keep going!!

I walked around with a hole in my shoe before I could afford shoes (they couldn't be resoled)... just had to save up!!!

As long as you avoided small stones... it's wasn't so bad... Until it started raining a few weeks ago!!! Then I got my new ones!

I know Annie56! I am so so thankful for all the wonderful support I've recieved tonight. OH is working late (3am) and after my migraine, I was feeling pretty rotten and down about everything. Now, I feel so much better and much more optimistic about things. You guys are so wonderful to have taken your time to encourage me, a total stranger. THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!

Just so that I know, could you tell me what makes a pair of shoes not suitable for resoling? It's just that I've worn the same boots for about 3 years now (maybe more?) and I would like to get them resoled when they get to that stage. I would hate to leave it too late to get them resoled.

(I am very sorry and embarrassed that the first thing I thought about your poor rabbits was eating them!!!)

Resoling cost more then the shoes themselves! Plus I have a foot problem... so these were only 6-9 months old and I wore through them (which is normal) and the leather was going too!! I am a nightmare with shoes!

Don;t be sorry... I thought it was funny! Now if you actually ATE one... then we'd have a problem

LOL but seriously... it was taken as it was intended...!

I'll second that... I've been feeling miserable and sorry for myself tonight too, but have been totally cheered up by the kindness of strangers. (Reminds me of my English A level, A Streetcar Named Desire).

Thank you all xx:T

Try it... my husband is due to bring some home (he shoots), if you find a good recipe make sure you share

Just remember they need to be cooked slow... My Oma (Grandma) roasted them for hours... and they melted in your mouth! Yummy!
