Sorry about that. How has it changed for the worse, aside from you perhaps not trusting your friend?

As an aside, it’s no one’s business but you and your ex.

The grandparents are threatening to cut off my friend from their lives and will as well as the family if she even speaks to me again. I’m alone in the world, so having a friend is very important.

It's not quite the same - but you've always got us… 😉

I think those grandparents sound a bit too controlling? Sure, feel free to have an opinion but such an ultimatum? They would cut off their grandchild presumably too? Wow…

That makes me so mad! I HATE it when family tries to control other members with money. You cannot buy love and some people never learn that. My dad's family works like that.

Yes, it’s a cold family. If I weren’t married into a similar family, I’d not believe it.
 
Fridge freezer's in. And on. Man that thing makes a racket. Also, I could've sworn the guy said 4 hours. So I switched it on after four hours then opened the doors to realise ah crap, there's tape and stuff. So I remove the tape and the stuff (I hate styrofoam). The instruction manual for it said "switch on and leave for 24 hours before putting stuff in to make sure the temp's right"

TWENTY. FOUR. HOURS.

No thank you. I hate this thing already. Also I kinda nicked the vegetable drawer from the old one because I lifted it straight out and put it on the worktop with stuff still in. it's still here because I forgot to put it back. Oops.
 
Not something that winds me up but a worry of sorts. I had the piggies indoors on Saturday evening into Sunday afternoon. The kids all started sniffling and I got them to take allergy tablets. But the oldest is still suffering with it. I assume it’s the hay but then he doesn’t have hayfever. Had to break out the inhaler.

Luckily it’s the holidays and I’m hoping he’ll start feeling better soon.

Waitrose on Sunday afternoon - Shopping Daddy (I'm isolating) was baffled! And similar yesterday...



Who knew the heat made people so hungry!? Or maybe everyone has guinea pigs? Poor hot fluff Louise got the last nub of cucumber yesterday. Today she's getting the clippers (again). Brace yourself Louise...

Hope you found some cucumber. Wonder if this was a knock on effect? Waitrose distribution centre in Milton Keynes had a bad fire last weekend.
 
After waking up early to air out the house at the beginning of the week, then having an early start at work yesterday, I naturally woke before 5 am today. I had no need to be awake that early today!

My hub was sniffling all last night and the pigs aren’t even here. I think the weather could be to blame.

I hope your son starts feeling better soon and that it was just the pigs and that he’s not coming down with something
 
CAMOWEN.

To close the blinds I need to walk through the cage. Camowen has a habit of staying put in that part of the cage and so I left the last food bit of the day til now. My thought was that I'll go in, have the food down elsewhere in the cage, and he'll be eating there and not under my feet. And I swear he does it on purpose. He grabbed food to eat and dragged it back - and don't think it was because that area of the cage was covered, because it wasn't and he ignored a fleecy forest and a bed behind him, AND a log tunnel next to him. And just sat there and ate.

:doh:
 
Nearby, there are two gp advertisements on a U.S. sale site. One is a woman that also breeds dogs and rabbits. She seems responsible about her dogs with many photos, health status and breeds. The piggies are just, “all colors and ages available.”
Another advertisement is about how spoilt our children are.

I’m only guessing the boys are in one cage, the girls in another. I have a lot of questions for this woman, but I’m not looking for new pigs at this time.
I had a niece living with me until recently. She was allowed any animal she wanted because she’s been caring for farm animals since she could walk (yes, it was adorable), and if she didn’t feel like taking care of an animal on a day, I did. I am the adult, and it’s my job to be responsible for the child and all of her pets/messes (she’s 7 BTW). She very rarely got lazy.

I personally would stay away from those piggies and look into adopting from a rescue. I bet anything that those females are pregnant again....😢
 
I'm very close to putting the goblins in a Time Out and closing their door for a bit, they've been screechy all day and food is not placating them (and they're not due any more anyway). They've flipped out at any sign of noise (I can't even unwrap a Babybel in piece) and I need to get sort through a plastic bag. Send help. :flag:
 
How / why have I managed to take nearly 2000 photos on my camera since November 2021. Why have I left it until I have so many to back up and organise ln my hard drive?!
 
I almost swallowed an orodispersible tablet and my body is not designed to deal with that sort of heart rate jump.

:oops: Just as well you noticed before you actually swallowed it.

Oh no, it's even worse than that. I wasn't trying to swallow it with the others, but somehow my mouth malfunctioned when it was sitting on my tongue 🤷‍♂️

Cleary your mouth knew that you weren't allowed to swallow that one!

Part of me wonders sometimes if I'd not be better off going to the normal tablet version but after 18 months and countless annoyed doctors, nurses and pharmacists, I am not giving anyone an easier time of it now, even myself lol.

There is no help 🤣. Piggies will soon take over the world, (or at least our fridges).
 
Hayfever, ugh!
Don't know what the heck is going on as it's been mostly ok for weeks, but all day (Friday) I have had the most awful Nasal hayfever. I keep sneezing violently, my nose is running so constantly that it could win the marathon down the road at the Commonwealth Games, I'm going through tissues at a rate of knots, and now my nose is sore as well. I just hope I will be able to get to sleep tonight, at some point at least 🙏🙏💤🤧🤧

I think my photos go back further than this without backup! I don't dare look to see how many there are though...a large proportion will be of the piggies, the dog, frogs and insects in the garden...I really need to spend some time on them but I don't enjoy doing it and there's always something else to do. Thank you for the reminder 👍

🤗🤗 A saline nasal rinse works wonders. I’m referring to a netti pot or a prefilled bottle of rinse.
