Nope still awake lol. Still need to pack my clothes and put new bed covers on my bed before I get in lol.
Yes I should still have internet while I'm away. Last time I went away I still came on in the morning and at night for a catch up lol.
I'm going to try my best not to think about the piggies too much while I'm away and just try and enjoy having nothing to do and spending time with the family with no distractions....although i do phone my mum every night to check in and see how everyone is doing lol.
Really hope we get decent weather! Don't mind if it's not sunny (although it is amazing when you do) but if the rain would just stay away it would be great!
I forgot to say last time yes I put pee pads just in front of the hay things. They are cable ties and work really well on the top cage as they swing up so great for cleaning underneath. The bottom ones pull up slightly but because it's two grids up I can't swing it, but still ok. They work really well and you can put loads of hay in them so no need to worry about running out :). I think it was Tim I stole the idea off lol. As soon as I spotted them in his cage I went straight to ikea and bought 4 lol.
How are you attaching things like bottles and hay racks to the wooden cage? I use the living world bottles and think I'm going to have to get the stand that goes brought it as I don't think my sides are going to be tall enough to mount it X

@eileen and the only cure is too get more :D no I must stop! Xx

@Laura mason awww you have changed your avatar who's that in it?
Can't believe you was still up! You crazy lady lol I hope you have a fab holiday and the rain stays away I will do my sun dance for you :D but I bet you will be thinking about GG in the back of your mind somewhere lol
So our wooden cages will have a special little wooden holder built for the water bottles most of ours drink exclusively from the ferplast sippy now which I prefer, just gotta change Oakley & Ollie, Marley & Bertie over onto them when they have figured it out! I don't use hay racks at the mo which is why I get through so much hay I think but they are happy. My thought with the hay was to have a section with auboise and the hay piled in maybe with a roof? Now I've seen your idea that you nicked off Tim lol I'm wondering if I could somehow fix one of those ikea thingies to the side :D oh another decision to make lol

@Tim yeah you do realise when you offered to piggy sit I only had 4 that has now doubled :D in the words of jaws "your gonna need a bigger house" (well kinda the words lol) xx

I'm sure I will be but going to try to switch off as much as possible....she says lol.

The pic is of Missy, she's a wee dote :).

How did the boys get on overnight?

I'm just about to take the girls off their fleece for 5 days :( hope they will be ok with the change....I guess they may like trying something different? Something to dig around in? I'm trying to convince myself aren't I lol.

I really must get my ass into gear, still have loads to do and we are leaving at 12! X

Where do you use the auboise Tim? X

Everywhere! :D Well it gets everywhere by the time the piggies have made it their home :)) We put newspaper down first, then aubiose, then hay. Great stuff! Can be a bit messy with boars bits sometimes though :roll: I've recently got hold of snowflake just to try it, it's pretty good and the piggies seem to approve :D
