The guinea pigs ate my new year's resolutions :)

[PigglePuggle]

Me: How exciting, my healthy new year grocery delivery has arrived!
Noise from upstairs: Wheek?
Me: I have ingredients for so many healthy veggie stirfries, peppers, babycorn, baby broccoli!
Noise from upstairs: Wheek wheek?!
Me: And look at all these bags of fancy salads! I will have salad for lunch everyday this week!
Fire alarm noise level from upstairs: WHEEEEK!WHEEKWHEEKWHEEKWHEEK WHEEK!
Me: Or, I could order pizza and tip this £40 of posh salad and veggies straight into the piggy house?
Joyful chorus eating my new years resolutions: WHEEK! GIANT EXTRA BREAKFAST! WE LOVE U PIGGY MUMMY!

Ah yes.. The joys of being a piggy owner!

Piggies' diet:

Our diet:

 

[PigglePuggle]

Yes I now have 2 onions, some ryvita crackers, 3 sachets of stirfry sauce, and some houmous lol.
The second the fancy bag of Italian babyleaf salad rustled, I knew it was all over, when I was still unpacking things at the door and the delivery man asked what the noise was!

 

[Betsy]

Well you were well intentioned with your diet until The PigglePuggle herd ruined it!

 

[Posyrose]

I bet the delivery van driver didn't realise that guinea-pigs were so loud.

I just bought Parsley and Coriander and am wondering whether they'll miss some Coriander if I eat some myself!

 

[rp1993]

I often think our Ocado driver much think we are so healthy with all the veg we order… it’s pretty much all for the piggies!

Haha! I wonder, did you ever have a dog that ate your homework too?

I had a giant snail that ate a page of my PhD thesis, it really did! We are quite lenient with the Zoology students about any excuse concerning "my pet ate my laptop charger", also any excuse involving a vet trip is fine for late homework too

I’ve had giant snails too. They are beautiful.

Imagine a rather cross eyed me after the first day back at work and traffic problems on the way home via the M6.

Me: I think I'll enjoy a nice pear from this morning's salad delivery while Carol sits next to me with her grass and the swiss chard from said delivery, following her medication.
Carol: I can smell something
Me: This pear is a bit crunchy but still tasty, I wonder why Carol has stopped eating her grass.
Carol: Hello hooman, that pear smells delicious.
Me: I'm not sharing, eat your grass.
Carol: If I look at her with a pleading expression she'll give in, the soft hooman.
Me: I'll go get a knife...........

 

[Bill & Ted]

When I was putting all the salad and veggies through the till at Morrisons this morning the lady commented on what a healthy diet I had. Until a small bale of hay rolled towards her and the penny dropped!

This is hilarious. But such a tale of devoted piggy slavery should be rewarded……with a humongous pile of poops no doubt.

I have to buy an aubergine once a week - not for me you understand. The piggies love a bit of aubergine with the daily veg. They get half a slice each evening. It was Shy Little Meg's favourite veg. Lexi and Thea weren't keen when I first adopted them now they love it.

Hilarious so funny, I have to tell cashier when shopping I’ve 9 Guinea pigs whom eat better than me lol four bags romaine, 3 packs of peppers, 3 cucumbers, green beans , kale, 1 carrot, spring greens, no diet here lol

I buy coriander regularly because the piggies love it.
I can’t stand the stuff - even the smell makes me feel ill.
It’s always a case of quickly drop the coriander in cage while holding breath and then run!
I wonder who introduced my piggies to coriander @PigglePuggle ?

Like all good piggy slaves I have a very healthy shopping basket!

Apparently there’s a genetic reason for disliking coriander.
That’s a much better excuse than ‘ I don’t like it! ‘

Yes I have seen that! I defiantly have it

Pepper and Pringle not so much

Maybe its like Marmite?! I don’t like coriander either, and we always buy the biggest bunch.
I always wonder how many piggy slaves are buying coriander vs people who use coriander in cooking, or salads!

Is there a genetic reason not to like sprouts too?

The goblins managed to get 6 bags of coriander out of the last Asda shop and I still don't actually know how that happened. I like eating coriander though, the smell of fresh coriander makes me queasy. But I gotta do what I gotta do, lol.
