I honestly read your post Beanie and was like........I don't remember writing that.
I have taken some co-codamol so should sleep
I am very worried about the rabbits. I just need to get this off my chest so I can sleep without it running around my head.
The aviary/shed is divided into three parts. My pair are "surrounded" by the new rabbits (single girl and failed fosters) They are getting very ancy with each other, there are clumps of fur on the floor and they are chewing the crap out of the barrier to get to SG.
FFP are lovely but the girl was very tough with my two. Stood her ground. I can't start properly bonding for another 3 weeks. i just feel they will chew through sooner.... No one really has enough room and I am sure I am doing more harm than good having them like this.
It is so annoying as eventually they will have over a 100 square feet to run around in and all will be well. It is just this bit that is very stressful. I go to see them and don't know what to expect, I think my girl might be injured but she is so jumpy she won't let me look.
I really need to rearrange the aviary space to give them a better area. There is a chance they won't bond and I need to give them a decent space and not have my pair crowded in....
Just put season 1 of Charmed on, I can't believe how much I love that show!!! I still want to go to San Francisco.

I am annoyed by the work being done at the school down the road - ALL day with building and drilling.
However, in other news my CC is paid up, I have still got to buy the car insurance but it is at zero. The only unnecessary thing I have bought is the lunch box.
I feel really rough. I can't be bothered to move. UGH. It is just earache and a sore throat but am a big old baby!
I am pleased moneywise tho. 8 days left! Can I manage this last week? I actually think so, it is weird, shopping is such a hobby for me, but it was getting ridiculous have a thought..........order it............leave whatever it is in the box for months until I have time to carry out whatever plan I was thinking of months ago. Find it, wonder what I was going to do.........realise I bought something else to solve the imaginary problem and ponder what to do with "it" Just since a huge a waste of money. Also fully takes the focus off my goals, the end plan etc.
I did shop today 13.99
Mum has just uttered the words "nothing is easy, I have too much clutter" Well ermmm Yes to the second part for sure!
Off to buy car insurance!
XXX

Car insurance is expensive.
Boo Hiss
And yes I did go through a comparison site!
Still boo hiss
But I did get breakdown cover as now we no longer have mum's car to use. And my lovely car is quite old now.
I should be able to pay it off next month.
I am pondering another low spend month... I am going to have a look............Nevertheless she persisted.4 -
Hope you are feeling a littlee better?2

You’ve done so well with the low spends……I’d go for another one or if that’s to hard up the limit a bit but don’t go too mad.
Pleased to hear your mum is trying a little harder and is realising there is too much clutter.January spends - £587.583 -
I think I will have to have another low spend month...
The rabbits need to be vaccinated. I am investigating the rabbit care plan. Also need to by more hay as keep running out, it is like milk in someone else's diary
that would mean spending 100 pounds a month on the rabbits for hay vaccines and some vet stuff. Plus 112 on the dogs(half the insurance), 36 on the groomers every eight weeks. Maybe 30 on the guinea pigs? (please note, Guinea pigs are so lovely and so cheap!!)
You know I hadn't reallllly figured out it was around 300 quid a MONTH. (plus the rabbit insurance once a year) when you add it all up, it really does add up!!!Nevertheless she persisted.3 -
😳😳😳 the pets cost certainly add up….. I loved my guinea pigs especially the way they whistled when they saw us approaching. That was a good few years ago now though….January spends - £587.582
