Spoke to Mum about the puppies having the new GP cage as their crate - it is actually a dog crate you see and the puppies don't need the tray to slide out so I can secure it inside the cage. The piggies would need it cleaned each day and so securing it would be a pain.
I might try that tomorrow.
Then the piggies can have the dog crate (plus run attached).
it is sort of workable plan..............
It does mean the puppies get a posh pen, the gps get a cage that is easier to clean out and I can interact with them more....
its a plan.Nevertheless she persisted.0 -

Well it was done in a headache inducing RUSH and at times was quite hellish but I just keeping thinking about people who have a really !!!! Christmas so all in all it was good. Decent food, very decent presents, I got to come home half way to check on the puppies (read play with them and the piggies - who were cleaned out and in their new crate - going well so far)
so yeah stressy but hey that's me, tomorrow sis is over and then Thursday I am going to sort my sodding bedroom out so I can have a desk and a chair and happy piggies with the run attached all the time.
still got such a bloody headache tho. wow.
take care all - hope you had a good dayxxx

Happy Christmas Buffy. I think 2013 has to be your year. You were debt free now. And have consolidated in some ways. Built on the foundations. Now is the time to set yourself where YOU want to go.
Don't limit yourself to staying near your mum. Your sister can look after her for once....Do what is right for you now. It is YOUR time.

Hey Chev, hope you had a lovely Christmas - how are things these days?
I am not making any big plans for this year, just want to finish my masters and look for a new job towards the end of the (school)year.
The only thing I absolutely want is a clean and ordered house, that would be the easier (and cheapest) thing I can do to make life better.
talking of which I had best get on with tidying up down here for the joy of visitors.
The headache I had yesterday is still in residence and bringing with it waves of nausea. lovely.
Take Care all xxxNevertheless she persisted.0 -
So here is a new years present for you. When your mum goes away do the deep clean your normally do.... and then get a cleaner. And stand up to the inevitable we don't need one from your mum. You do need one. You can afford one and it will be good for both of you.

I am on holiday!
I do feel really guilty about this, I think everyone should get two weeks off at Christmas. Something magic should happen and everyone should be with the people they love doing stuff they want to do. It is so important for happiness.
Overall the last couple of days haven't been terrible. That sounds really ungrateful cos I have had a nice time but the headache rather made it difficult on both days. The pain made me very grumpy at one point. And I am worried it is connected to my teeth somehow. I got a !!!!!! letter from my dentist which I must sort out - you know how once the panic of Christmas is over all the stuff you are worried about comes back! he says I owe him money and I am fairly sure I don't. ugh.
any how today I am fixing my bedroom up really am once I move!
Tomorrow I am away till Sunday with the new guy. I feel guilt about this also as my bestfriend is down and I am only going to get to see her Sunday afternoon if that, I have to figure what to do with the car and stuff..........maybe see her in the morning.
so tired.
am going to check some other threads I am part of.
