I've had a promising meeting about a future job today. Horrifying to think I should be a consultant in just over a year, but good to know there may be a job for me where I want to be. I managed to pick up bamboo plant labels on the way home too (plus I may have been unable to resist three packets of seeds from Wilko - all new varieties this year!)
Formerly self-contained, but expanding my gardening horizons beyond pots!

My Mam used to keep guinee pigs and they were always fed on crushed oats and bran, with brassica leaves and what we called 'rabbit meat' which were dandelion leaves I collected for her!

Why horrified? You must have worked so hard to get to this point! I am proud of you! Come work at Hull

Veggie from what I remember our Guinea pigs used to have a tiny bit of banana probably half inch long.
The eldest one lived for 8 years so we must have been doing something right.

I worked with them in the zoo. Not often because unsurprisingly they were on the children’s farm part of the zoo. I tried to avoid that as much as possible!

Good evening everyone.
I have another supermarket story to share with you and this one has me worried.
In Morries this afternoon, there's a mother and her young daughter ?about 8 years old? (I'm not good with kid's ages.- they all look the same to me).
The mother shouts at her daughter "Don't touch that, you'll catch AIDS. Don't touch anything here- its all full of AIDS".
The child, ignores her mother's warning and picks up something else ........"Put that back" shouts mother, "Its plastic. We don't want plastic in the house"
Child answers "but we have plastic in the house now".
Mother replies "but we don't want any more".
Now I can understand the plastic issue but everything in Morries will give you AIDs?
When I was a kid we were told not to sit on public toilet seats in case we caught anything - we were never warned off shopping in Morries.
