OK, yeah, I got the food and the rabbit hutch, on Monday. Yesterday was dedicated to pancakes, but as I'm restricted to using whichever child's computer I can get near, I don't have a system for uploading photographs; maybe later.
So, as you may have gathered by my tone, I'm feeling more than a little frustrated with life. Not down or depressed, or stressed, just frustrated and bored. I just never get anything done. It's always two steps forwards and three steps back. OK we are in Mercury Retrograde; I should get over it. I mean all I have done this week is try to keep up with housework and the things which accumulate over time, like the need for more rabbit hutches. This is Maintenance, not Progress.
Thing is, I'm so overwhelmed by what needs to be done I don't know where to start. I go intio the garden and am overwhelmed by what needs to be done there; I go back inside and am overwhelmed by what needs to be done there, too. Every little job turns into a huge obstacle, which has got to be got over before I can start to tacke the next. i can never get the kids to all go out out once and I can't leave any of them on their own, so sometimes I just give up but then I get stuck because I haven't got that little nut and bolt, or the chuck key from the hardwear shop, which I can nearly see from my house but can't get to without the mammoth efferot of dragging three reluctant little people down the hill and back again.
Anyway, I get to this point on a Wednesday afternoon and think, O well, only an hour or so and they'll be gone to their dad's, and then I'll be able to think, and use a computer without being hassled (I'm still being hassled even though there's more than one PC for every person in the house at the moment). 'cept I won't think- I'll have a bath, and go out, and forget and try and cheer myself up and not be bored.
Yeah, OK, we made a letter 'r' out of cardboard, Freddie and me. He wanted to make it because it's part of 'Fred', which, I suppose is a good enough reason.
I just want to get this house sorted out becase it's bugging me to hell. I need shelves. attatched to walls. Other people can do it, what can't I? well, partly because this house is so small that to move or find anything is like one of those puzzles where you can only move one square at a time to the space next to it.

Dunno if this is any good, but I have two rabbit hutches that need a new home. They're not overly big or brand, spanking new but could tide you over. I know I'm nowhere near you, but I have a brother who lives in Halifax and who probably is coming down this weekend, so he could drop them off to you at some point. Any good?
I ought to measure them, really, didn't I? I used to give Syd the run of the garden or his run, so he only ever "resided" in it at night...if the weather was good. I probably have the run (in sections) at the bottom of the garden, too:O) I've also got an indoor plastic/metal cage that's quite big too, if it's any use? Used to put him in that when weather was crap. Pics of it are on the blog, way back.
