Mad bank holiday weekend!


Flower is fine and is home in her hutch, safely locked in! They treated her for the posioning regardless of her not showing any symptoms and she stayed fine so she came home this morning. It was an expensive outing but fortunately we werent charged the 'bank holiday' charge. The vet must have taken pity on us so just charged for the treatment and stay. The bill wasnt as bad as I'd feared but Ill be taking out pet insurance for them both!
Monday afternoon at the Grand Slam Celebrations was brilliant! The kids had an incredible time
and were very well behaved. The concert was amazing and we had really good seats. It was just a shame it didnt last longer! The kids agreed it was well worth queuing in the cold for!
Blogger doesnt seem to like the pics sadly. It keeps failing to save when I try to upload them!
Darren had the day off today and so after Connor had been to the half term soccer school I signed him up to we all went out for lunch out. We had intended to have a walk after that but felt stuffed so abandoned the walk and went to the caravan storage site to check on our caravan.
We had alot of work done on it last year after we inherited it from my parents and discovered it had several areas of deterioration. We also tackled some of it ourselves and there is still some work to be done replacing some seating, renewing the water pump system and a tyre needs changing. We were glad to find that its been no worse for the bad weather we have had lately and the leaks we fixed in the spring are still watertight so weve promised ourselves we will try and get the last of it done. I have no idea how to tackle most of it but it will be a good learning experience for us all, Ive spent lots of time trying to find advice etc on the net. We need to get it finished by the first week in July when Chloe finishes school as we will have to take it to Somerset for the end of school celebrations.
We've all been really enjoying The Apprentice, the kids are really interested in the business aspects of it as well as the competition as a whole. My moneys on Lee or Alex to win...they seemed the least likely candidates to start with too! Sophie in particular spends alot of time thinking what sort of business venture she could start to make money! Im off to watch it now :)

Glad the rabbits OK, must have been worrying. Good luck with the caravan, my Dad refurbished one before he died, it's hard work because everything's smaller and less space to "fix" things in. Well worth it when it's finished though and you're in a big field without a care in the world.
