We just lost Scruffy (the smallest in the bunny trio) for over a half an hour... I went into their room, and he wasn't there. So I looked in all the usual hiding places, and even some unusual ones, and NOTHING. We searched the whole flat for places he might have gotten (in case he sneaked out the door last time it was open) and nothing. I was on the verge of tears, when I finally tore apart the bunny room, pulling cushions off the spare couch-bed we keep in there... And there he was. There's not nearly enough room for him to get underneath, so the route he must have taken to get to it....  ::)  I wanted to pull my hair out...

He went limp in my arms, feeling SO sorry for himself. I dunno how long he was back there. Must have been a couple hours from the way he went for the water...

Glad he's okay! When I first started reading I thought "lost" meant passed away, so in the grand scheme of things, being stuck in the couch for 2 hours isn't too bad (I know, tell that to him ;)).

Sigh, I want to direct deposit my paycheck into my savings account so that I limit spending to whatever I transfer out of savings (which I dislike doing). Heaven forbid the banks support this, though. They're all fine with regular automated transfers to savings from another account, but not the other way around. (One woman said "savings is for savings"…yeah, thanks, I really needed that clarification!)

Not a big deal, but it'd be nice if I could setup my money to work the way I want, rather than the way the banks think I should set it up.

Got a letter yesterday from my car insurance company -apparently none of my payments have been going through since April and they only bothered to tell me about it right now. Not sure why I didn't pick up that in my bank statements- maybe because my home insurance and car insurance are through the same company  :-\\\\  So I owed a big whacking payment today and since I was unprepared for that, I am having quite a poor month.

That's crazy! What if you'd had an accident or something?
Poor you! I hate when things like that happen.

Shugga, the mods know you posted about this but I don't know if there is an answer yet. Leah is actually out of town so it's a bit of a mystery for the moment. Someone will reply to your post about it as soon as possible.

It's the Trifecta:  backache, cramps, and TOM.  :(  I need to get so much housework done & the weather looks very promising (sunny!) for the weekend, so hoping I don't end up feeling like just crawling back under the duvet with a hot water bottle all weekend instead.  Boo.

Could really use some human interaction today. More than just a 'hiya' & 'thank you' from the shop keepers and 2.5 year olds aren't very good at holding conversation and this is day 3 of 7 in a row that my husband has to work. <sigh> sucks not to have local friends.

Spent hours cleaning the flat this morning, only to have my landlord postpone her inspection until next weekend. Oh well, at least re-cleaning next weekend should be quite quick.
