    Besat thing I did when I got the conservatory replaced was getting a solid roof.

    yep, I agree. I would love to do that. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Smallest bun is back home and seems stunned but sort of ok. I will go and check on her in a bit. 

    Am considering a no spend January. 
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Smallest bun has pooed, eaten some hay and one parsley leaf. She still looks stunned and it is actually quite interesting to watch her. Previous girl buns have been spayed and recovered whilst I was at work, so I didn't see much. With smallest bun I sat sorting a pile of crap near her cage and could tell she was in pain and quite stiff and again this morning. I have split her pain relief into twice a day doses as in rabbits they metabolise super quick. I did this with my second girl too but I didn't know with my first. 

    I have LOADS to do today. Like LOADS. 

    I really want to go to the tip... but need to tidy up the front room first and then continue to clear the conservatory. 

    Am watching BBC some programme about an animal park........it is so crap. I can't believe it. An animal has escaped!! the drama. Not. 

    List for today. 
    1. shower
    2. tip
    3. tidy front room (nearly forgot!) 
    4. Continue sorting the conservatory. 
    5. Move cupboard and swap for coffee table. 
    6. Put up the tree??

  • so so sorry to hear about your friend's friend buffy - this covid is just terrible, it really is.  

    Glad your bun ok and that you are now on half term.  Try to rest up if you can
  • Tree isn't up. Conservatory isn't finished. I am hoping to get more done tomorrow but I feel like everyone's skivvy and am somewhat exhausted by being polite and thoughtful and getting very little back in return. 

    Mum booked the hairdresser to come round. So long as she gets to do what she wants. And I had to pick up food. Other than that I have done washing, sorted some presents. 

    I miss my special friend. We aren't together really and see each other once a month. He does make me happy. He shouldn't. He is a tory ;) but after I see him and get treated so well I realise how !!!!!! my life is. Not sure if that is quite the way I should think about it. 

    Our food order is coming tomorrow, and I want to work on the conservatory. 

    How funny. My friend recommended a wine for my wine and it was !!!!!!'s favourite - just a coincidence but all that pain came rushing back. How strange, just when I was having happy thoughts about special friend. Do you know what is so noticeably different? SF doesn't try and change me or control me, we just are, we are different, we are similar but we accepting. 

    Dear Lord I really need a good cry. The pressure of the Christmas !!!!!! is getting to me.

     :D I know right! He thinks the current crowd are shameful, can't bring himself to vote Labour, thinks Starmer is not good enough, does agree with me that he really should have been a more efficient opposition and had this lot on the ropes a lot more often with greater effect. 

    He never said anything about politics on our first date and I was mightily put off by him smoking and being far more over weight than his picture (slight pot calling kettle black there but moving on!). We had a second date mainly as I was already meeting friends in more or less the same place and he had been a good kisser. He didn't confess the toryness till much later but I would say in his defence that he thinks we should be ashamed of needing foodbanks, as in the state should provide a proper support and not leave it to charity to help people and we are ruining the nhs which he thinks is important. He is old fashioned and sort of unaware of things, the trouble people are in. I find many people are really.

    He sounds a bit like my parents were when I was about 15. (60 yrs ago!!).  I got annoyed with them about voting tory, we were after all very middle class, so it was normal.  So I asked them a few questions as at that time I was almost a communist, the kibbutz kind not the Russian kind.  I asked them what they believed was right to a series of about 6 questions with a this or that answer.  At the end I said do you realise that every answer you gave was labour policy and definitely not tory policy.  I think a lot of it is an "I am not working class" thing, when we almost all are unless we are on £100k.
