    Mine will be 20 too. He has had a snow jacket and mittens for snowboarding next week so it will only be a few little bits like chocolate but I'm not sure what else, maybe a shirt in case he gets the job as he only has 2 as his current job is polo shirts but I feel like I'm tempting fate.

    Bed for me, see you in the morning, go rest those wings.

    Aww thanks I couldn't put him down for crying but he was 8 so a good age xx
    That's a very good age for a guinea pig, you really must have given him the very best of care.
    If in the future you wish to have some more of the lovely cavies. There is a good website cavy rescues full of piggies needing new homes.
  • OH JIL I'll have to look at that website. I drag DH into P at Home every time we are near to look at the g pigs. Would love to keep them again but DH says NO!

    Sorry about DS2 Dusty - perhaps try an earlier test appointment if possible next time? Or ask advice of instructor re that if he has one. Just personal experience but may not be the same in Dusty-land.

    Hoping to be more use today - for the first time for a week and a bit. But now DH has it - oh well.

    Plan is to disinfect everywhere, do bedding and air rooms as think I have given it back to myself too:rotfl: Certainly better than I was but still can't shift the cough. If not gone in two weeks have to go to the doctor - better make a "just in case" appt today then or won't get to see him for three weeks!

    Hope everyone else OK as can be - love hugs sticks and spoons where necessary. I am rationing my spoons today so I can make it to the end.

    Catch up later.x
