     By contrast my garden is like a jungle, plants everywhere. 
    But think how much nicer an environment yours is for wildlife x

    I will admit I didn’t see any birds in her garden all the time I was there, mine is full of them.

    What’s the issue with your place Buffster?  

    My little house is a lot easier to clean and keep tidy than the old one but it’s half the size and I had to get rid of a lot of stuff!

  • Yeah this is definitely a house and not a home at the moment. I said to one of my friends there is no joy here. Mum is now constantly in pain and is just hopelessly sad. 

    I am tired and stressed and not enjoying much. I went to my friends yesterday and really laughed, properly at rude things and silly things. It was so nice. so normal. 

    Came home very drunk so slept like a log. tired now tho. All my clothes need washing, and the animals need cleaning AND I have to cook dinner. Ugh. I want a nap.

    Glad you had a lovely time despite the hangover 😊 Can anything be done about your mum’s pain?

  • I think she could get different pain relief but she can't get through to the doctors. I don't know how much she has tried though. We are going to write to them tho. See how that works out. 

    I sorted the foster buns out ok, also cleared up my rabbits' area bit more and organised it  better. Slowly slowly progress is seen. Next weekend hopefully I will get the Guinea pig cage up and take the foster buns to the Rescue. Then I can put the new bun and my house bun in to bond.... fingers crossed............

    It would be amazing to have them all outside. 

    I am massively nervous about tomorrow, sampling day. 

    need to get writing the letter. Actually we aren't she doesn't want to. Ok.

    Things will change. They will.  


    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Sounds like you've a lot going on but that you've also achieved a lot.  I'm amazed by how much you achieve given you've so much going on - it can't be easy.  Keep plodding.  Things will change.  x
