Hope you were able to have a good, long sleep last night Bitchy
Great your dh is offering loads of support Flying And well done for getting to the bottom of the ironing pile! Sorry you are still in so much discomfort though x
Whoknows oh yes, pls keep me updated on next door's rabbits! I'd be interested to know if their garden survives, for future ref and all that ... It's true about the extra palaver which is why in the end I have almost decided to be sensible and go for more gps as they are so easy to keep. It's mainly for selfish reasons because dd is an 'only' that I feel it is important to have small furry creatures about. Would ultimately like to have a large furry creature with four hooves, mane and tail but urban living currently prohibitive!
Aw - thanks for saying "go for it" Swan - only a very few of the people I've consulted have done so!! Have told the breeder 'no' but still hankering and wondering whether to phone her up again (cue much eye-rolling from dh)
Engels well done re: the routines!!
Hope your lo is more settled today Feedmecake
Huge wing flaps to everyone else!
Well, I had better stir my stumps and do some basic tidying and cooking. (I'm a year older today and have the urge to do something frivolous but dh is under the cosh at work, the house is a wreck, dd has gone off to school exhausted from her school trip yesterday, and it's pouring with rain! Heigh ho, I am going over to a friend's tomorrow evening so that is something to look forward to... And I am very old so perhaps best to draw a veil as it were ...!! )
Hope you all have productive afternoons and those who are sleep-deprived/ailing feel better soon!
