I think if you get it removed it'd be easier to keep checking for mean and nasty lumps. If you leave it, you could dismiss something sinister as just a change in shape.

I was reading this is one important reason to remove these cysts. The article also said that it may continue to grow. I don't personally don't think NHS would offer to remove it (for budget reasons) unless they thought it was really the best option.

Best to discuss the options when you see the consultant or doctor. Chin up lovely xx

I am feeling really quite miserable and tired tonight

We cleaned and rearranged the front room yesterday and today I went and returned some stuff (bought more stuff!) fed friend's cats,came home completely shattered, bailed on a party - lied and said I felt ill, am avoiding FB for that reason. I didn't want to say any of the following.

1. I am depressed and really anxious about seeing people I haven't seen before breaking my ankle.
2. My friend died a week ago and I want to go to bed.
3. I have a lump in breast and I am wrestling with whether or not to tell Mum.
4. Aside from number 2 all of the above would be helped by me tidying and re organising the house.....which given it is Bank Holiday I would like to do.

We did good yesterday, Living room looks GREAT. Rest of the house not so much.

So plan for tomorrow.

1. get up, shower, dress, make bed
2. move fish tank and coffee table
3. walk dogs
4. go to pets at home and buy the guinea pigs a new cage (£65)
5. continue de cluttering? Or marking. Am up !!!! creek as far as that is concerned.

the dog is asleep next to me. I do love him. Animals are so simple in some ways.

Head up life seems to have a knack of making us feel crap some (most) of the time. I know it is easy to say but every now and then focus on the positive things going on in your life and not the negative. It makes me feel better even if it only lasts a short while.

Why do the guinea pigs need another hutch?

Or do you just want to spend money on them?

Lol can't imagine why you'd be asking that Beanie!

The cage I have is annoying, It has a makeshift top with a decent base, the old top was rubbish and went rusty so I binned it. Pre rabbits I had the cage on the floor and the piggies got in and out. the top sat directly on the floor and surrounded the base, however as the rabbits are currently indoors that doesn't work. Now it sits on the table and frequently falls down and apart and scares the piggies.

Obviously, when I used to have 5 piggies, I had a couple of cages (sold one) have one hospital cage, a big cage which can house the rabbits in an emergency and 3 outdoor hutches.

Which leads me to my next plan....The rabbits are going to have to go outside. At least over the summer. In the winter I will rethink. However house rabbits (and mine are good) are not for the faint hearted. they need so much stimulation. They make a lot of mess and really would have more to do outside. And I would have my bedroom floor back!!

So I will be using 1 out of the 3 hutches, selling two and maybe buying a "shed" and run for the rabbits. I could use the emergency cage but it is massive and again needs to go on the floor. The one I am buying isn't ideal for them but I think they get so much time out it won't be so bad.

Meanwhile, back to the original question! I ordered a 28 pound cage from Amazon, it arrived today smashed up. I have to return it which is a pain. I feel I have shopped around and done the hunt a bargain. I just want the problem solved. So I am going out tomorrow to solve it!

while we are on the subject of selling stuff (which we weren't but go with me) my friend (from here) recommended my Hermes for posting stuff. AMAZING prices, am sending a 1 m cage for 7.48!

this means I can sell my two hamster cages and gerbil cage! I know most people reading this will say it wouldn't be worth it but as with most of my pets I tend to buy the best, so they do have some resale value and are very clean (use vinegar!), the same goes for my fish tank equipment.

I use that courier service for all my work stuff and as long as it's wrapped very, very well with all stress points strengthened then you'll be ok.
