I blocked off one entry hole in the front door frame yesterday after watching one squeeze outside. Jon said the hot water pipes are probably a likely place they can get it, so he’s going to crawl under the house tomorrow to have a look.

oh was it! I did wonder who made it, and hoped someone on here had! All the pigs love it, it’s so well made. Thank you :clap:
So glad you and your piggies like it x
Gosh he is a brave man, watch out for those spiders and snakes :yikes:
 
Not a rant, more of offloading. I’m struggling to switch off and finding something to do. I have things I can do - read, knit, watch tv. I also need to read someone story and give them feedback. But I’ve been struggling to find something to watch on tv for a while. And now I’m feeling tired because, despite a late(ish) night, I was up by 7 - brain decided it was time to wake up.

PS bit of a rant. I got an email about the tv licence today. Ended up working out it’s a fake one! Good thing I didn’t log in 😭
 
I got a fake Royal Mail email today, it said I have to use a link to pay extra for a parcel to be delivered as the sender had not paid enough, checked and there’s nothing outstanding so we think it’s a fake too
 
@Siikibam I'm not surprised you are finding it hard to switch off as you've been so busy recently. Have you tried just sitting in a chair with your eyes closed and just deep breathing?

In through the nose 1, 2, 3 and out through the mouth 1, 2, 3 and in through the nose 1, 2, 3 and out through the mouth 1, 2, 3 and in through the nose ....

Are you more relaxed yet?
 
Watching the post office staff member THROW a fragile package onto the pile. Please let it get there undamaged!

I’ll try it again when there isn’t such background noise 🤣 I could do with a nap but need to cook dinner.

If she isn’t, then I am…. I ended up doing it!
 
The Pingdemic, it's worse than the lockdowns. No post, no bins emptied, no trains, empty shop shelves, the Country has gone even madder! I thought 2020 was bad, 2021 is turning out to be far worse so far.

I've had 2 of these over the last 2 days. I've not even ordered anything recently lol.

I’ve had several of these over the past couple of weeks.
 
Had to put one of my lovely Lake Kutubu Rainbowfish to sleep a little while ago :( She’s got worse all week, looks like it was her swimbladder causing troubles and she’d not eaten for a couple of days. I was hoping she’d slip off peacefully but she was obviously a fighter bless her ❤️
It’s a comfort knowing she’s not suffering anymore but it’s a bloody horrendous thing to have to do to your babies 🙈
Sleep tight little girly xx

Aww I’m sorry. I remember doing this with one of my beloved goldfish Goldie. It’s so sad. Xx

Oh sorry you had to do the same with Goldie, poor fishy 😞
Thank you. It’s so horrible. I use clove oil as it’s a really humane way, you put in a dose to sedate them and then the stronger dose a little while later to send them to the bridge. Thankfully she was quite peaceful but in the past I had a little lad that flapped and went a bit mad, it haunts me 🙈
I hate having that responsibility keeping fish tbh and would much rather a vet do it, but after nearly 15 years I’ve had to do it a few times now, not nice ☹️ xx

Yes I used clove oil the same way you describe. Luckily I only had to do it once. But that was enough. Much love xx
 
SLUGS! Urgh horrible things. I keep finding them in my Dining Room. Before I went away last week I found loads of little baby slugs on the walls on the floor and on the windows. Last night I went in the kitchen and there was one about 3" long happily sliming it's way across the tiled floor:yikes:. Well that went outside very quickly with the help of a bit of kitchen roll (and a lot of bravery from me! 💪).

Thank you ❤️ Yes once is definitely more than enough!
It’s the anniversary of losing my three girls last year atm, a year since my old Rosie cat on weds and I was a tearful bugger, knew it’d set me off again! 🤦‍♀️ Thanks though @Lavinia xx

Aww. Too much sad all at once. x
 
Aww. Too much sad all at once. x
Me and Daisy had cuddles with her weds morning though, she misses her sis bless her!

My lovely Arnie and Jess’s soon :eek:! I’m not good with death and grieving! 🙈XD I’ll be fine though, got my wonky lot looking after me 🙂 xx

Not a good weekend for the wildlife in & around my garden 😕
Yesterday I found a decapitated pigeon in my garden. This morning I saw a dead hedgehog in the road outside, and just now I found a dead small bird, young Robin I think, on the road ☹☹☹☹☹😪
Why are drivers so careless?

I know it's not great, but there's every chance a driver wouldn't have seen them from the car - and even if they did see them, avoiding them could have caused a car accident and in those circumstances, the safer option is to keep going. It doesn't make it any better, but small animals are hard to see on a road, especially once daylight has started to wane.
 
Car garages! Took my car for it's MOT today, also ordered 2 new front tyres as I knew it wouldn't pass without them being changed, have just rung to see if it was ready and it's not it's waiting for a retest because it's failed.............


Anyone care to guess?!! 🤬

It’s hate car garages!
 
Not really a rant but didn’t know where else to post it.
I’m very sad as had to have one of my 8 year old degus put to sleep on Tuesday. Leaving his same age brother alone and I’m projecting all my human emotions onto him!
It’s just such a long time to have a small creature and I can’t help but be very sad about wondering what his brother makes of it all. ☹️☹️☹️

Did you bring your Degu home and show him to his brother so that his brother understands what's happened?

I did. Same with all my animals. His brother gave him a little groom and then walked away. Cried my eyes out watching him.
I think he looks a little sad now but he’s eating and seems to be managing ok. Just a bit quiet. Poor bubba.
 
Waited months for a hospital appointment which I finally had and I’m honestly going to get a second opinion. I didn’t feel listened to or comfortable with how they are going about what’s happening with me. I feel fobbed off :( x
 
It seems I may need a new laptop. The screen in my current laptop suddenly started flickering and jumping about like a badly tuned TV. I haven't downloaded anything on it that I shouldn't have nor have I clicked on any dodgy liinks in emails. I restarted it and that didn't change anything. Son no 3 assured me that if I get a new laptop all my photos will be safe and can be transferred to the new one. I hope so as I have hundreds of piggy photos and videos on there as well as all my photos of eBay stuff too. Just have to hope I remember all the passwords!
