šŸ˜”šŸ˜”. Iā€™m mad. Iā€™ve just been to the local horse supply store for some bedding hay for the boys and they have changed their supplier.

Apparently itā€™s better and improved. No itā€™s not. It looks like straw and itā€™s half the size for the same price. šŸ¤¬.

Itā€™s not the best anywhere, donā€™t know if itā€™s the drought or what but my local farm hay is quite coarse. best Iā€™ve found at the moment is Morrison hay Ā£3 a packet. Mine love it, it smells really nice and is green!
 
I had a delivery of Nature's Own meadow hay last week it was lovely and soft and fluffy. It has been hit and miss in the past but in recent years has been much better. My lot don't like the expensive green one to supplement their HayBox timothy (shame), they have to have the cheaper one (Yes!).

Thanks. Iā€™ll take a look.
 
Delivery driver chucked box over garden gate againā€¦. Same guy, keeps happening in bad weather. Luckily itā€™s stayed dry this afternoon, just one wet bit.

Didnā€™t stay mad for too long, was thinking box looks good for guinea pig fun! šŸ˜‚
 
It is -6F/-21C and the wind chill is -31F/-35C! šŸ„¶ So cold that our downstairs toilet water line froze. Thankfully we have two upstairs that we can use, but it is still terrible. It may take till next week till it thaws out.

Somebody somewhere is making garlic chicken. I can smell it through the window so they can't be far? But I don't know who it is and it smells absolutely divine.

And I have no garlic chicken.

Can you go outside and sniff it out, then knock on the door with your sweetest smile?

Feeling very sorry for our Guinea pigs outside cousins.
They apparently stayed outside all through the very cold week.
Had lots of comments about our spoilt 2 with their large inside fleecy floor.
Did my best not to offend anyone.

My piggies used to be outside (they are now in the garage). It is hard to keep them warm in the winter. Sometimes the only place for piggies is outside (if you have somebody in your household who becomes/is allergic for example). I managed to keep the temperature in the hutch to a reasonable level for them. It is important that they are acclimatised to living outside and not just shove them out in the cold winter months.

Thank you, am also trying not to offend in my post too! These guinea pigs live outside year round- with frequent trips to the run for grass.
 
In 2006 I called the police. Iā€™ve since been abused in many ways, and lost my baby. I knew the police all over the state were unreliable as a rule (from the forties!). Fast forward to Saturday. My husband broke into my house (heā€™s been gone 8 years), harassed a mentally handicapped and deaf woman with some stranger (she had a key, and was getting piggy supplies I left there), and started removing my possessions and money. Where are the police? Apparently a 2005 law says they arenā€™t required to assist a victim.
Iā€™m in another state for a few months, but now I just canā€™t figure out what to do. No, I canā€™t just get a divorce. Thatā€™s been refused due to funding.

That's awful! He sounds like a terrible person. Have you looked into the state's legal assistance? There are lawyers that do free work for those with disabilities, financial need, and victims. I did find a website that you can look into.

Legal Help

Or the colleges with law schools can be a resource too. I hope that you can get to a safe place and not have to deal with him anymore.
 
Missed a call from London twice today because my phone couldn't be bothered to actually ring, lol. At least they left a message the second time - now all I need to do is remember to ring them tomorrow.
 
I was supposed to be babysitting tonight earning some extra Ā£Ā£Ā£ for heating, was cancelled at the last min.

Happy to stay home and hang out with my boys(2 piggies 1 hooman). Except it turns out the boys had planned a boys night in! I ended up cooking the dinner.
Hamish has told me off for watching Yesterday the movie, and burred at me, it seem he doesnā€™t like Beetles songs. Hector decided to join in telling me off. So much for enjoying the unexpected night in.
 
It's all fun and games til a guinea pig gets cranky!

Meanwhile, I'm annoying myself. I've booked my travel tickets for London and my body is reacting as if I've done something I shouldn't be with the churning stomach and everything else. I know it's just nerves, I know it's normal, but it's driving me up the bloody wall.
 
I was in crying pain last night from a sore throat which was also making my ear hurt. I was making an online order for the local pharmacy to deliver some medication, but my housemate said sheā€™d get me something. Some mouthwash her 10-y-o suggested rather than actual medicine. All through the night I suffered with the pain. I was starting to order meds again when the LO said, ā€œoh! We have throat drops.ā€ I am not amused in the least. Her mother thinks sheā€™s funny for forgetting and refusing to get me what I needed last night.

Hope you feel better soon
 
I'm back at work tomorrow. I feel like I've got loads done whilst I've been off but at the same time not done as much as I wanted to. Have just written my to do list - its so long just looking at it makes me want to hibernate for six months!

I'm still trying to wear my new glasses in but feel like I've not had chance. Then I weighed myself this morning and I'm the heaviest I've ever been. I just feel big and bloated.
 
Ah donā€™t put pressure on yourself ā€¦. I always put a bit of weight on thru Xmas and new year - Iā€™ve found if I donā€™t stress about it and try to get rid of any temptation it will usually settle down and go.(not overnight of course)
You have a lot going on so try not to let it get to you šŸ„°
With your list it sounds like you are being hard on yourself ā€¦.youā€™ve achieved a lot - maybe prioritise the list so you have a smaller new list and when thatā€™s done you can create another list from the first list ā€¦.if that makes sense?
Sometimes our feelings and emotions can be overwhelming ā€¦.a little bit of distraction can help
Look after yourself ā¤ļø
 
My Humax box has deleted ALL the recordings we had on there. Just over half the memory was used so it wasn't the fact that the recordings were deleted because it was getting too full. The recordings were there this last night and this morning. There have been no power surges to the house. It's just so annoying as I was in the middle of a few series that I was following before the Christmas break that I knew the OH wouldn't be interested in. I can't remember the titles of all of them either so I'll never know what happened.
 
Can I just...get a normal heart rate back? I'm sitting on the PC when I hear shrieks from the other room. Shrieks that don't normally happen at this stage in the day, and they sound wrong. They're not normal shrieks. So I bolt. Free up the space in front of my bedroom and run (and close the door so I don't set off the fire alarm and what do I find is the problem?

Well, there's a reason those shrieks didn't sound like Cam's normal FEEEEEED ME. Because they weren't. They were Bann.

:flag: Heart rate normal plz.
 
I just went to make the piggies' breakfast and found the "lettuce" I ordered is actually kale! :yikes: The grocery store really needs to educate their staff the difference between kale and lettuce. I guess I'll be going back to the store later...
