    Hangovers are a lot worse over the age of 25 🙁 Hopefully you had a great night out and it was worth it.
    It was a good time. Will drink vodka next time! 

    Had dinner and feel a bit better. Need to get ready for bed now!! Got left over roast dinner for lunch. Mum ate all of hers but I couldn't face it! 

    I will get take away for dinner tomorrow. Working late. Not sure what. might have to go shopping. Got no lunches. 

    Tues - shopping defrost a casserole. must remember to take it out of the freezer. 
    Wednesday - something else from the freezer 
    Thursday - Get fresh bread, find mum a microwave meal for Friday. 
    Friday - Going to a concert! so must leave work early. 

    Then I am on Holiday. For one week.

  • Been out to sit with the rabbits. 

    I am so angry with myself. I REALLY needed to sort the accommodation out. I want to use the panels I bought a year ago to build two smaller runs for them. And take the roof off the shed to make it all 6 foot tall - banging my head is getting old, I think I will try take down the shed and rebuild. I want to give them a dig box, a platform and use the new furniture I should never have bought (!) I need to repaint the old stuff and build a little run for the piggies. Once the shed is taller I can put the new hutch in there. No doors. If I reuse most of the shed - the roof for one of the smaller runs, and the three sides, I can make a frame for the top bit and use some the panels to make it all six foot high. I think my neighbour might have to help.... If the floor comes out in one piece I *might* be able to use it as a roof? Slightly slanted. Tho I am worried it has rotted. part of the reason for taking it down, as well as the whole banging my head, you simply wouldn't believe how angry I get about that! 

    The panels I bought last year were 210 pounds for 18, current price is 432. Crazy. 

    I don't need to buy much for this aside from the roof stuff - about 44 quid. If I need it.  But hopefully a bit of reuse will avoid anymore money. 

    It is just where to put the rabbits whilst I do this. Hmmm. I think I will have to build one of the smaller runs first and put them their with a contingency to bring smallest bun inside.... It is all fox proof so they would be safe...Might an opportunity to try and bond them again..... 

    I really hope this all works out!

    Could you get another shed from freecycle / free on fb to also scavenge for parts?

    Hopefully I won't have to. 

    Lots happening at work. None of it good. Like NONE of it. 

    I feel.......... well Lets just get to half term. Money wise things are not good either. Stress always equals a spendy buffy. have bought lunch every day and been so tired. 

    Something good needs to happen soon. I am sorry but I cannot keep being happy for everyone else and struggling here.

  • Well in shocking news things at work turned about a MILLION times better than I thought. I still can't actually believe it has worked out that way. I can't explain how much better I feel about work. it is virtually night and day. 

    Also it is finally half term. I had an amazing night last night and French toast for breakfast. 

    I am watching a really rubbish film............but don't care!
