However, Kelly has purchased a new rabbit.

good mornooning all!! today I've been called back to work at our companys own base! first time in around 8 months ( apart from Saturdays )
today my job is quality control, around 5 guys to whip into shape, oh boy are they in for a treat;).

sad thing is I need to lie about where I've been working to sales as we aren't ment to take on other contracts... so I've been ' off for surgery' :/

loaded up with positivity, now for bacon and coffee :)

The rats are back.
I saw one running across a beam over one of the fish ponds and another outside of the tortoise pen.
It's because of the fruit trees. they're in bloom.
I'm buying some live traps this afternoon. Poison and snap traps could prove fatal to my 2 pound dog.
I'll also make a couple of bucket traps: Plastic buckets with about a foot of water inside, a portion of wax paper taped flat over the top with an "X" shaped slit in it and some peanut butter smeared on the paper. The rats climb or jump on top of the bucket. Smell the peanut butter and fall inside, slipping on the wax paper. Because of the water, they can't use the bottom of the bucket to jump back out and they drown.
The thing is that if you get a few, there will be a smart one that makes a raft out of his dead bucket mates.

... And I'm back to 07/03/16.
Took a trip back to the 4th/5th of December 2015 when Cheddar passed. :(

I didn't seem it then, but I really am thankful for all the support and kind words.
We were all sad and loved tales of Cheddar so we know how hard it was for you losing him.
How are Pip and Squeak getting on?

Unfortunately it's not in the same place but in asking them to keep me in mind when a full time position DOES open up where I'm at right now because i do love it there. How are you???
That's a shame but it will be great to have the stability of a full time position.
I'm fine thanks Meech, plodding on as usual.
