Thanks CCL XX
I have been spending money
The bunnies are going to be inside for the foreseeable as between storm Ciera and storm Dennis they have no roof on the aviary or windows in the shed. In midst of everything I just brought them in (Rabbit 2 was already in, but I couldn't leave my lovely girl out there). Bit of a mess. Rabbit one is a tall pen but rabbit 2 is in a shorter pen(guinea pig height!) , he gets SO excited when you feed him he jumps out of the pen......it is the funniest thing EVER cos he doesn't do it at any other time and looks so surprised when he does it. And obviously then isn't in front of the food... But in case he cottons on, I bought him a taller pen - the dog wouldn't be able to jump in these ones and he can't jump out. Rabbit one would walk through the shorter pen, she doesn't mess about.
So costs so far
1. Pen = 34 pounds
2. Litter trays = 6
3. Waterproof pads = 20 pounds
4. bowls = 4
I think typing all this out has made me thing of another way to sort them out...........hmmmm and get my TV back!
And of course I need shiny cash for the roof.
The thought of the roof makes me almost cry. I have done it twice. It has cost so much money. But it needs doing so I am now investigating a third way...........I think the changes I want to make will amount to about 300 pounds. I am going to try sell some of my previous attempts at runs and cages. God knows there are enough of them. I think I will aim to make a 100 pounds for the Roof fund.
So sleepy XXX

today was alright. well I had a bit of a melt down regarding the shed and EVERYTHING. Moving on............!
I found 3, maybe 4 cages I can sell, 2 dog crates, I will also sell some fish tank stuff and put some accessories in with the cages. My aim is to leave myself with 2 spare cages for any future pet sitting venture/ pet illness.
I should be able to make about 100 from that.
I need to get rid of more things for absolute certain. Pare down to the essentials as far as stuff is concerned. I did pretty well with only ordering the pet food from Amazon in January, this month hasn't been as good but not terrible, the savings aren't as high as I would like but I have overpaid the CC by accident as I had to return a piece of furniture but paid the bill for it so I am about 150 in credit. I think I will leave it there as it will cover Netflix and audible for a bit or maybe I might have a night out and not worry about it.
I am so tired and I haven't done any washing. God I am so miserable ! I am almost laughing at myself.
get paid in a few days I think. That is good. Right washing and a bit of tidying and finding a bag for tomorrow.

Have have a night out Buffster you deserve it xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

I have put the washing on, better late than never! I shall have clean knickers tomorrow! bet you are all glad about that.
I have such a lot to do. Oh Guys. HOW did this happen? How? if you could see me, honestly. You would have me committed. I just went upstairs to get the washing sorted. My room.......I couldn't even begin to explain. Really it is far too embarrassing......I am contemplating some kind of Lent debt/life related challenge. I am going off to google.

First two days of the week the standard school problems reared their head. This makes me very angry. All the people I consider friends, some of them very important friends are so unhappy. And one was in danger.
I have been teaching so long I am expensive and currently not in a shortage subject.
I started writing this ages ago! must go to bed now XXNevertheless she persisted.6 -

Hello everyone,
things here are hard, had to go and ID my friend today, which was just awful. Truly if you are ever in a position where you have to do it, don't. Not a good memory. The police however were amazing. Couldn't have been in better hands. I am very grateful.
Otherwise, well work have been good regarding the situation. work itself is hilariously bad but that is a problem for a different day.
Money wise things are ok. good really. to be honest everything feels a bit hollow.
