Right I have an issue and I don't even know of I'm allowed to post this, if not sorry.

Without mentioning names, there's this couple that own roughly 139 guinea pigs, most of which are kept in a small space (16ft X 10ft shed). I know this doesn't sound small but even if they have 60 pigs in there that's only 2.5sqft per pig.

A lot of there 'new' pigs are having babies and they have stated they see no issues with breeding as long as you know what they're doing.

They even keep skinny pigs out in the shed and feed rabbit pellets. Their dogs are constantly around the pigs too. Many that watch their videos think it's cute and have started copying what they do and the products they use like rabbit food.

They're attacking other rescues that see issues with what they're doing. Some have had death threats including that of the animals in their care.

Am I going crazy? Surely I'm not the only one that sees what they're doing to be so wrong?

They're Amazon wishlist consists of items not even for piggies. They also seem to medicate the pigs themselves. There's lice treatment and eye ointments on there too. I know what people do with their pigs is up to them, but this could set an example and give people the idea to take medical things into their own hands. 😬

I might upset people here for this next bit, I'm truly sorry if this upsets anyone but I need to ask as I've never known anyone do this. It regards what you do when a piggy passes. These people put them in the freezer to cremate at a later date one of which has been in there a few months. Do people actually do this? Blew my tiny mind.

This place sounds awful, is it on Facebook? has there been a lot of complaints by people?
The idea of putting a dead pet in the freezer like a piece of meat, to have cremated at a later date seems quite heartless to me 😔

They are. Yes complaints but nothing has become of it. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks that it's quite a heartless thing to do. Thought it was just me.

If anyone wants the name of this place, pm me. Not going to name them here.

I think I have an idea who it might be too 😞
 
I've spent all day trying to find the TV remote. I've checked everywhere, looked everywhere, looked under everything, can I find it? No.

...it was on top of the scissors I was using this afternoon. Which means I've picked it up and put it there, probably while I was looking for it. If I had brains I'd be dangerous 😒

Get another remote control and keep it in a drawer (remember which draw you keep it in 😆)
 
And now I can't find one of the sewing machine power cords/pedals. They both use an all-in-one with the same power plug design but I have no idea which one I have, whether it's for the Jones or the Viking. I'd use the Viking one on the Jones, not so sure about the other way round. So I'm off downstairs armed with scissors and more packing tape and I'm going through every box to see if it's there. Because it's not here :(

Have a cuppa! You sound all in, did you find the remote?

It's sitting safely on my bed, lol. I lost it yesterday when I pulled the bed apart, normally it's sitting on the side part that I use as a shelf haha. I'm worried about the power cable/pedal though. That's a lot harder to just misplace.

Hope you find it, does the other one fit?
 
Lorcan said:
They're identical, pretty much, which is why I don't know which one is actually missing. If I saw the two together I could tell you but not apart.

Do you need it? I only ask because it might be you’ve already packed it? And if it’s not in your flat anymore then likely been packed or hiding somewhere in your flat- either way it should be found when you unpack or have the flat fully packed up?

It’s super stressful packing your life up, so deffo have a cuppa and deep breathing! Hopefully you don’t miss place too much more! I totally would!

I'm not gonna be using it before I go, no, I'm just slightly worried as to why I can't find it. I went through the downstairs boxes earlier but nothing says "pedal" on it, so I've either packed it and labelled it "sewing stuff" and there's a few of those, or I haven't packed it at all. I just feel like the Jones machine is 34 years old and even though the pedals look identical, do I want to risk damaging the Viking? They're all in one cords, though granted I could just manually turn the wheel or something instead lol.

I'm really good at getting myself into a panic over stuff like this. Skipping a week of packing because my meds went AWOL didn't help.

As some of you know, I sell a bit on ebay to fund my vet fund. Well a lady contacted me about a dress I had for sale. She asked me if it came up large for a size 8 as she was an 8-10. I replied that it said size 8 on the label and that she could return it if it didn't fit. She received the dress. She then opened a return and left me a very annoyed sounding message with it saying that I said the dress would fit her (I did no such thing). She then went on to say that she was a tight 6-8 and couldn't do the dress up. So in the space of 2 days this lady has dropped at least 1-2 dress sizes. She either has serious health issues or she is telling porky pies!

Oh I hate people like that. My favorite is when they claim not to have received the item but then ask some telltale questions regarding the packaging.
 
Oh, today. I've just spent 45 minutes outside in the rain because the fire alarm went off again (same person, managed to set a Christmas pudding on fire in the microwave) because security were in the middle of Manchester and had to fight through the traffic to get here.

My bloody funny turns / seizures. We went to the Christmas markets today and I had a funny turn so we had to come home early so I could go to bed :(

I’m sorry your trip had to be cut short. I hope you enjoyed the time you spent there. I think you are doing the right thing by trying to go out and have fun. Now you have a firm diagnosis for your funny turns is there any further treatment, meds or advice they can give you?

Sadly, meds won't work as they're not epileptic seizures. I'm meant to be being referred to a neuropsychologist but it will take 1-2 years as I have to be referred to Preston neurology first and the waiting list for that alone is 12 months :(
 
Just reported a spammer/bot person on the forum. :mal: Waiting for the boss and his hammer....
 
How do you know if someone is a spammer? And what do they do? I’m not very technical.

They had one post and it said something about their business and nothing about piggies. They claimed they were a CEO of a company. You'll know one once you see one. The post was only on for a few minutes.

Was it an MLM? I bet it was an MLM.
 
So I got some bad health news on Monday. Since then I have managed to get about 6 hours sleeps a night - not bad. But I'm waking up c.4am with a spinning brain so I don't feel rested at all.

I do go into the spare room as I feel bad for disturbing my husband by tossing and turning. Sometimes I've been able to get back to sleep but I just feel rubbish, especially mid afternoon.

One week in, it feels like it's becoming an involuntary habit! Grr.
 
Kids lying to my face about homework and lying about completing work in class to milk me for treats. Tonight I found a HUGE stack of old homework and incomplete classwork. So we sat there for well over an hour getting it ALL caught up.

Honestly I am so tired of the lying and generally poor behavior which is never ever learned from no matter how much I explain why this is unacceptable. So I can say with certainty that Santa will be passing our rooftop over this year! Maybe only family gifts will shake them awake. (There will still be plenty without Santa chipping in).

I will admit I did that as a teen. My mom took care of that when she had me ask my teacher to sign my daily assignment calendar to say if I had homework or not.
