The Best View Comes After the Hardest Climb.

Are the tip trips mostly from cleaning out the animals or are you gradually managing to get rid of stuff?

It is a mix, but "stuff" is going too. plastic pots galore. and lots of random bits.

I think it’s time to get the professionals in for the moths then, should be able to do the whole house in a couple of hours.  If they get into your clothes/bedding etc you’ll have to replace everything.

I haven’t had carpet for 12 years now, will never go back to it.  Luckily this house has the original parquet flooring which I’ve painstakingly sanded and resealed  room by room but it’s so easy to clean, quick sweep every day, hoover once a week and mop every few days.  Carpet is just grim.  

Any chance your Mum would go for the carpets being removed?

Agree on the professionals.
Best to do it before it gets any worse.
A friend had to have her house done.
You can freeze clothes to kill them I believe.  xx

Morning. 

I am so tired! I didn't go to bed till late last night, lots of things going round my head about the bloody rabbits. Smallest bun has chewed a hole in her hutch so she can't stay in it as it means the floor is dropping out! oo I don't think I bored you with her latest, she got out whilst I was cleaning her out and my not foster girl attacked her - no damage just another traumatic event in her little life. The others weren't bothered. Not that apparently that means anything as not foster girl is in charge and the rest of them go along with it. I couldn't catch her ( - the cage is 72 square feet) but luckily she went back to her hutch on her own. My boy really likes her. But he likes everyone! 

All the hutches are going, now they are bonded they can have a slightly different set up. I might try one last time to bond them on grass in the run. Totally neutral territory may work. Plus a new to them set up. 

Today I must finish cutting the grass! and do some strimming of weeds. Also look at my bank account. Might do that now. 

Thrilling times!

Could you split them into a pair, smallest bun & your lovely boy & a three to stop smallest bun being on her own?

I circle this plan a lot as I don't want another rabbit for her. I really don't. However splitting the space is tricky, and it would mean splitting him from his original pair who he loves. I am mostly thinking that I should put my three together and the two not foster buns together. I shall give it one last go tho as five together would be better for all of them - not foster girl girl picks on her buddy a bit and now he has arthritis she needs to be distracted. But yeah in the end I expect it will be something along those lines. 

I am watching the trooping of the colour, quite an amazing bit of organisation and so impressive with the horses and what have you. I think the British do things like that so well. And it is so unique. 70 years.

No grass has been cut.
