    TG - Oh how cute are they!! I'd never be able to put them down.

    Perhaps theres been some weight gains because the heat is causing water retention. Not uncommon to have puffy feet and fingers in this weather. Makes sense. (you can see I'm already working out my excuses for next WI) :D

    I love this excuse...please may I use it too :)
    (I've certainly got one very puffy foot right now...it must weigh a LOT :rotfl:)

    And re the bunnies...I hope you meant you'd want to cuddle them a lot, and not anything more sinister :)

    Another not very healthy day I'm afraid

    B: cornflakes, ss milk
    L: some chocolate (I think I'm finally getting fed up with chocolate)
    D: sweet and sour chicken, a few oven chips

    I'll be eating on my own all next week, so I'll either do better because I'm not having to make proper meaty meals. or I'll go off the rails...I'll use it as an opportunity to eat healthily, I promise. (That's along with my plan to clean the whole house and have it sparkling, and find a home for everything and put it away, and take the rubbish to the dump, and make new curtains and get them hung before summer's over...it's only a WEEK :rotfl:)


    If you could live one day of your life over again, which day would you choose?

    Looks like everyone's been having fun so far this weekend :)
    I have puffy feet too but it's probably from standing for 9 hours at work! Had some lovely customers today though so not too bad a day, except for the heat.

    Managed to nab the TV this morning and got weighed - I've STS but it could have been worse I suppose :D

    B muesli, Greek yog and honey, soya milk, milk & water
    L cheese scone and banana, water
    D Chinese fried rice and HM omelette, l/o cheese & bacon 'sausage' roll, mini choc swiss roll, water
    S a few nuts and seeds, 2 slices toast for supper - 1 with marmalade, 1 with l/f butter
    Drinks - lost count of mugs of water at work - about 5 or 6, I think, 1 glass lemonade, 2 glasses water at home, cup of tea with supper

    Love the bunnies :T Are they ok with the heat TG? We had a Netherland dwarf (just no-one told her - she got bigger than we expected her to!) and she just flopped in the heat - both front legs out in front and her back legs straight out back! She could drink for England in the warm weather but she was lovely and DD2 still misses her at times.
    Are you ok today? I get a headache when I get dehydrated, so maybe it had something to do with how you felt yesterday. I think I should take my own advice and start on the veggie sticks.

    Take care everyone, use the suncream and don't get burned:naughty:

    Depends how big the glasses and bottle are!!

    If they're poured to standard size, which is a 125ml (which is about what a champagne flute holds), you can get roughly 6 glasses out of a normal bottle.

    Each glass is about 95cals so you'd be looking at around 580cals.

    No, my time working on a theatre bar really hasnt taught me anything ;)

    Thanks MrsCD.

    We keep them in cages overnight, normal sized ones with a smaller area for a tray & then a larger "play" area as well. During the day though we have Milky in a large wooden run on the concrete (our small garden is paved, not grass) and we put a towel over the back of the run which acts as a shade for him so the paving stays cool enough for him to lie on.

    Oreo is much much more fluffy that the picture depicts, DM calls him "little fluffy slippers" because his back paws are so furry :rotfl:
    Consequently he feels the heat a little more, so last summer (just after we got him) we purchased this frisbee shaped ice block from Pets@Home, made by a company called Scratch & Newton. Basically it works the same as any ice block except its made of a special material that rabbits wont chew through.
    For him we use the big indoor cage we have Milky in over the winter :D Plus we put up the garden parasol to shade him.

    Yes, my bunnies are spoiled ABSOLUTELY rotten, its true. :A

    Doing MUCH better this evening, manager at work let the staff off wearing ties (yay) and had a very interesting 'diet' conversation with a male colleague which I will post bits of tomorrow when my brain is not so fried.

    Night all x
