Its All About Me!

Last Day of May

Yesterday was my friend's Gemma's Wedding - it was a such a lovely day. We went to Rochester for the ceremony which was lovely. We then went back to her parent's house for a BBQ evening, it was gorgeous =] Her parent's/friends had made the garden look so pretty. Good food + Pimm's made the evening perfect.

 

Today has been a good day weather wise so the bunnies have enjoyed the sun! I wanted to capture the action so here is another collage



I have been busy [not doing my essay] in the garden, why are they so much work? We have brambles which are a force to be reckoned with, you cut them all back and then whoosh they are back?! I don't think I will ever get them completely gone..



Evidence of my hard work!


Jessie: My fav pic of the day ;)

Rufus: My handsome lil' dude

Nuff Said :)


Me and Thumper: Snuggle time =]

I love this one: Check out Dilly climbing over Thumper!

Hairdressers tomorrow - lets see if I can be good and get some pics on my blog tomorrow....

Such a lovely day

Today has been so cool. Our new bunny cage finally arrived - at 6am mind but it was here. We then had to lay the lino and assemble the run. But thankfully the bunnies are dancing with joy in their new home.

Don't you love how chilled they were while we were hard at work!

This is the cage mid-process, we also decided to try out the night-shutter!

Those bolts are solid - no one is getting in this cage!

The back view - I am really pleased the bunnies can see all over the garden now :)

Ta-da! the bunnies are enjoying their new pad =)

Stitch is just obsessed with the bunnies and thankfully he cannot get his paws through the mesh lol

I am so happy with the cage. It was expensive, sort of like a bunny mansion but the quality is so high it was so worth it. I highly recommend the company Ryedale Pet homes. I love the cage so much and I am so pleased we invested in it :)

Where I've Been

Not blogging that's for sure!!!

It's something I hardly remember to do now, I have a couple of weeks 'free' for Spring break so I thought I should try to catch up on my blogging.

I can hardly believe I have been a student for almost 2 years, almost half way through! With my 1 year access course my total degree will have taken four years of dedication, lets hope it's worth it! I will be pleased to finish and equally chuffed to have completed a vocational qualification but I never could have have accounted for the hard work and lifestyle change necessary...
Hence the tentative use of the word 'free' I have essay's and reading to complete and a life to catch up with which ultimately always comes second to my degree! I am not complaining - it's just 'different'. All that luxurious free time I used to have "pre-degree" was a novelty, sadly one I cannot afford anymore...

So where have a been??? Quite literally everywhere! February saw the end of my community placement which was bittersweet, and also the completion of my first semester, a technicality dependent upon passing all my essay's, which they let you stew in your juices for 6 weeks - nice. So I took a trip (and why not) to New York! Which was fabulous, I highly recommend it to anyone. I think I walked the entire length of Manhatten but I got to see everything :) and I went on the "sex and the city tour" which being a huge fan of the show was a must!



I came back to England and welcomed two 'additions' to the fold. Now those who know me well, know I am absolutely bunny mad - yeah it's a little weird but I think we all have to have our quirks! So when my good friend from Uni moved in to her new appartment, which had no garden who did she turn to to house her bunnies!!! So I am now the proud bunny mummy to 5 - yes 5 rabbits, that is 20 bunny feet people!!!! Rufus and Jessie are 'garden' bunnies so they haven't met the 3 house bunnies. It's funny how it seems like we have always had them and 5 really isn't much more work when you already have 3! Stitch was quite keen to meet them - they were not as fussed on him initially!
I do feel very lucky to have lots of furry friends, not sure they love me quite as much though!

 

I have also been on another 'journey' the kind where I shrink my huge butt, and it has been going really well. So far I have lost 9lbs since the beginning of March which I am v v pleased with. As a serial dieter (which all women seem to be) I have say I think this is 'it' and you really will be seeing much much less of me.

So far I am pleased to report that 3/4 essay results have been passes and I and hopeful for the last result.. And that really is my dull life in one entry - hope you are still awake! TTFN

Introducing....

Our new additions to the family: Lily & Dilly


These beauties were found on a rabbit forum I use. They were born in October last year as their mum was rescued pregnant and unwanted :( she gave birth to 4 babies in the rescue centre including Lily & Dilly (Andy & Sandy were the other two *lol*). Anyway we drove to Birmingham to meet them and introduce Thumper... After a nightmare of a journey the introduction went well so we left our beloved bunnywith Abi and her hubby to get the trio bonded... It was an eventful night I have been told, my angel decided he wanted to 'dominate' the girls and cue rabbit behaviour most of the night!!!
I have been informed today has been calmer and I have been sent some gorgeous shots of my new ready-made family







All being well I will be bringing them all home Wednesday so keep your fingers crossed

A Photo Post

"When we take a picture, we freeze a moment in time. A moment that will never come again. To look upon the past with such clarity and to feel something inside ourselves because of it, is utter beauty." - Anonymous

Here are some moments I froze:

A Bunny Movie

Tuesday

So I wanted to share my experience with my interview - but I do not feel so 'hot' so I will save that post for a later date :) I have been sick all weekend well Sunday & Monday anyway so I have been vomiting (gross) a lot... No chocolate for me then.... I was also supposed to be getting my 'new' bunny today but the lady at the rescue centre needed to postpone till this weekend... I don't actually mind because Thumper needs to stay over to bond with the new bun - so I don't want him to go - clingy mummy syndrome! Other than that I have been chilling some, which is needed because I have been a wee bit stressy of late.... I have been sorting through my old photos, sadly the Disney ones and the realisation hit me that I wont be going there for at least 3 years... I have been playing on the Sims 2 - which is so sad I know but I am an addict he he - I have also been catching up on some junk on my Sky + box... old ER episodes and ANTM.... And catching some shots - will update better soon..

When life gives you lemons...

Make lemonade..... I try to stay positive but I do feel like life is throwing way too many lemons my way and I wanna make lemonade but I do feel oh so slightly bitter.. But then I get a moment like this one:
How can I be grumpy when I live with a sweet lil guy like this - awww
He was being extra - speedy today - which translates into him tearing around the whole house like a bunny on a sugar high!!! He must have been tired and needed a lil rest!!

As for my sweet girl, no more news just yet, we are waiting for the lab results to come back which I am hoping will be soon, so we can get a clearer idea of what is going on.
I have brain ache from too much study, I go back to Uni on Weds and I have a project due so - like everything I have to leave it to the last minute he he

Best get back to it

Post Neuter

Just wanted to update - bunny is home and sad - with no bunny balls anymore!!!

He is doing well but feeling sorry for himself

I have a big update to post - but not at the mo - more soon...

(taken pre op)

Happy Valentines Day

Well I have a secret admirer called bunny! He managed to go to the shops and get me a card - how sweet of  him - he did need to borrow the money though!!!
He also got me some beads for my bracelet - I think he felt bad that mummy had to wait in for 2 days for the courier man to come with his new food and hay... Yes two days - good damn courier people !@X*&?
We are just getting ready for his op tomorrow - send him lots of vibes x x x
