Grace's Crazy Clan- Life in 2011

Thanks for that lovely post

Wow, I was sooo tired today at school. Getting up at 7 was such a shock to the system, I would have gladly stayed in bed for another 5 hours!

I decided as an experiment last night to email the company that make the guinea pig food I feed them. I told them how I had 6 bunnies and 6 guinea pigs, that I loved their food. I also told them how I pet sit all kind of small animals and recommend their guinea pig food to the pig owners. Well they emailed me back and they are sending me a box of guinea pig food samples, a box of rabbit samples and leaflets to hand out. I thought it was really great and very generous of them. I know it is in the hope that they will gain some customers but very few companies would do it
Looking forward to getting my freebies in the post, so exciting lol!

January is going sooo fast, kind of scary, just a few months till my exams. Wanted to sleep in this morning since it was Saturday but it was stormy and one of the rabbit hutches blew open so I had to go run around and catch them. Got covered in mud and wet, lovely!

Got tons of homework to do so I guess I better get started on that today. I need to get some make up as well so hopefully I can get one of my parents to bring me to town later. Might buy a good film to watch too.

I might be adding mice to the furry farm as well. Either one male or two females, not sure yet. When I move out next year I will not be able to bring the rabbits or guinea pigs because their cages are too big and messy and it just wouldn't work. I will probably be renting a house with others, probably people I don't know so a small bedroom would where they would have to be permantely. The mice can come with me, they wouldn't take up as much space and time. The rest will be looked after by my parents.

I found out my cousin is getting married in May too, so I am excited about that. An excuse to get a nice dress and get my hair and make up done

Did a big Spring clean of the animals cages and shed today. Was going to get pictures but just got it done in time for the rain! Spring is starting to kick in, yay! I saw some buds on some trees

Grace, how ya doin' dahling? Hehehe. I bet you are quite busy with schoolwork and all right? I've always found mice quite adorable myself. I've considered having a few in the past but I was nervous with them being so tiny and I wasn't sure how to keep them from smelling so I ended up with gerbils instead. I love gerbils but really wish I had done more research before getting them... Maybe they'd have had better lives... Bah! So, are you getting the mice? I can't wait to see more pictures. I love your pics. :biggrin2:We've got some green stuffs growing randomly around here too. It's lovely isn't it?If we're not going to get any snow in the winter, I'd much prefer it be green then!

Have a great day and hope to hear from you soon! :biggrin2:

Just seeing this now
I'm reeeally busy with school work, next week I have mock exams so I'm busy trying to finish cramming stuff in this week. Then in June I have the real exams, so I basically can't stop until June! Then I am burning my books
I think I am going to wait till September, when I have moved out to get the mice. So I can see if it will be possible to keep them where I am living and if I'll be able to afford them. I know they don't cost a lot to care for, but I'll be a poor student trying to fend for myself without my Mammy If I can manage to keep myself alive first we'll see then.

I have a few really random, not great pictures to stick up now
Thanks for posting! x

Typical, beautiful day in Ireland

I still have a ton of these snow flakes stuck on my bedroom window from Christmas! Yes I need to take them down

My kitty, Kitten

Ebony and Misty

My old age pensioner, Heidi

Home made apple tart anyone?

 

[avarocks]

I love orange kitties... the pics of George are great! I think orange kitties are the best kind. I especially enjoyed the guinea pig pictures. I have 5 guinea pigs in addition to my bunny. They are just fantastic.

Grace,

Best of luck with all your exams! I do not miss those days Lol. I love the color of the sky in your pictures. :biggrin:As for the mouse, I think that is a wise decision. So many things can and will change. How does it work there btw? Is it student housing, dorms? I have no idea how all that works. Will you be staying alone or have a roomate?

Thanks for sharing the pics. I hope your studying goes well and that you rest when you can :biggrin:

 

[irishbunny]

Avarocks- Thanks, he is a cutie I must post pictures of my own guinea pigs as well, I was just minding them for someone.

Nela- It depends on what you want, you can stay in student housing on campus, rent a room in a house or apartment with others off campus, rent an apartment to yourself. It's up to yourself. I'll probably rent a house or apt with other people.

 

[irishbunny]

I did no study today, which I kind of feel guilty about. I needed to but instead I slept in till like 1pm, then went outside to deal with the animals and take some random pictures outside. I was trying to take some pictures of the view from the back of my house and climbed this old wall that keeps the field behind us from sliding down. I ended up getting covered in mud and ripping a hole in my pants lol! All that and when I went to get the pictures discovered it was dead!

It was my Granda's 62nd Birthday today and I am not long back from my Grandparent's house. My Mam and her Brother's pooled money together to buy him wet gear for golfing. My Sister Molly and Brother Oran have a vomiting bug. It's horrible I better not get it, yuck! I just bought a creme egg Going to go eat that and watch some telly.

Henry is being a butt today! I opened the shed door as usual like I do everyday and put up the gate to keep anything from getting in. We'll I obviously didn't put it up right because he managed to get out of his cage, out of the gate and when I was making food in the kitchen I saw his grey, fluffy butt zooming past. I went out, grabbed him pretty easily and put him in the run since he wanted some play time. Well I didn't realise that I left the door on the run open and two seconds later he was zooming past again!

I am outside now trying to catch him, he is not wanting to be caught as easily this time! He keeeps going under the shed when I try and grab him. We have a big half acre garden and he is having a great time running and exploring, and hiding! Grrr and the garden is really slippy and ,muddy and he has me covered in mud! I'll try and tempt him with a banana and nab him

He won't be happy!
He is totally covered in mud, it is all in hir long fur, going to be fun trying to groom him out!

 

[irishbunny]

Henry was caught and is safe and sound anyway Yesterday was my day for cleaning out all the animals. I jokingly told my best friend and her boyfriend when they were here Friday that they have to help me and get stuck in. Well, he actually wanted to! Which was suprising because most people are like ewww no! So they came yesterday and helped me clean them out. Well he did, she came too but didn't even look at the animals. She used to have bunnies but got sick of them after a few months. Her Mother looked after them for about a year after that before selling them back to the pet shop. I got my Misty from them, in bad shape! She went inside and he stayed out and helped clean them all out. He was especially interested in the guinea pigs, not so much the rabbits. Probably because the rabbits were just sitting there like ''What are you looking at?'' and looking uninterested, whereas the guinea pigs were running over looking for treats

I have half my English exam and my History exam tomorrow. I have a few hundred pages of History still to read through. I am so nervous now about it. English will be fine though.

 

[irishbunny]

27 A4 pages later I am finished half my English exam and my History exam! Yay! Just 8 more exams to go lol! Can't wait till it's over. Not looking forward to doing this all over again in June since this is just a practice for the real thing!

 

[Nela]

:shock:THat's quite a bit!

 

[irishbunny]

I know school is crazy over here, add 21 more pages today for the rest of the English exam and half the maths exam.

German tomorrow!

 

[MiniLopHop]

Goodness, are these end of term tests or what you need to take to get into graduate school? I have to admit I'm glad I am done with school. I enjoyed it at the time, but now I went to spend my free time with my pets

 

[irishbunny]

Germand was so hard today, not looking forward to getting that back

These are just practise exams for the real ones in June. Everyone graduates as long as they do the exams in June, but the higher your grades, the more points you get and each college has a minimum amount of points you need for each of it's courses. So if you don't get enough points, you can either take something lower in points or repeat the year so you can try and score higher and get the course you want. Full points are 600, I am aiming for hopefully just over 400. You have to be a brain box is get 600, only a small amount of people in the country get it. That is all As.

The rest of the maths exam and half my Irish exams tomorrow, yay

Your pets are very cute =D And I WANT SOME APPLE TART... never had it before actually. =) But it sounds yummy. Great blog!

 

[irishbunny]

Thanks! Hopefully you can visit some day. I want to go to the States I have actually got some pictures I took of the scenery from the back of my house uploading. They aren't great because my camera went dead after two pictures but I said I'd stick them up anyway
