Explorer Pics

Ok, I still don't think the picture does this cage any justice, it is huuuge! This is when I had just built it so ignore the inside I just chucked a few things in.


Here are the Babies (Logan hiding in the coke box and Flash trying to get behind it). After this picture I added another hammock and a tube (and water bottle is in the door which is why you can't see it). I still have more to add but the new cage is enough to keep them excited for now. I have also found that the Babies are not hammock dwellers. Maybe as they get older and lazier that will change, but for now they prefer the corner behind the log thing.

And here are the Big Boys. Elvis loves hammocks. Jules doesn't have a preference. Sometimes he likes to share the hammock, sometimes in the house, sometimes ON the house, and (as in this picture) he likes the box too.

In order to have this cage split in two, I used the bottom shelf that is complete for the top shelf, and at the moment is just a sheet of cardboard as there is of course a whole in the wire too, and used cardboard to cover the whole on the bottom shelf, and then one of their wooden ledges is the perfect size to sit on top of the cardboard. Their water is on the door so that the wooden shelf is the perfect spot to drink from.

Haha this picture makes me laugh. Elvis looks like he's screaming and Jules looks like he's cowering away. It was actually taken whilst Elvis was mid-yawn, and Jules was mid-wash. Bless.

And here's little darling Flash. Why is it that water off my finger is so much more tasty than from the bottle..?

Things I love right now..

I am in love with Urban Outfitters. I find it hard to look on their website and not want to spend hundreds of pounds, but luckily I do have a little self-restraint. Here are some of their products I love right now..


This Boudoir Bird Box is so pretty, perfect for little bits and bobs I have lying around.

I want this Hello Cupcake book so I can make beautiful little cake for friends and family (and myself!)


This Shower Curtain looks funky, although I think unless your bathroom looked like the one in the picture it may look a bit odd, but it's great for adding a bit of colour and fun!

This Owl Cushion is so cute I am tempted to re-do my room just so that it will go..


I am probably going to buy myself a Wreck This Journal as I think it's a great way to show your creative side (that you may not even know you have), so watch this space as I will scan in my entries once I have made a start on it!

Ratty update

Amongst everything else that's been going on, I also tried ratty introductions. Long story short, they didn't go well. So now I am stuck with 2 pairs of rats in 2 cages, in my bedroom. It can't stay like this. So.. I have ordered a new cage, the Liberta Explorer. It is preeeetty big. According to the rat cage calculators it could house 13 rats, so my 4 are in for a treat. I am hoping to keep the small boys cage in the loft, just in case I ever need it. The cage that we made for the big boys though, we will have to break and dump :( after all that effort. It is a shame, but it's for the best.
The new cage is expected to arrive tomorrow, so I'm hoping I can get it up and together in the evening, and move the ratties in at the weekend. I'm so excited, I love getting new things for my rats as I know they love checking out new things. Plus it will give my my room back, and it should be a lot easier for cleaning and getting toys in and out, since the whole side opens up via the doors.

Long time, no blog

Eugh, it's been suuuch a busy time for me lately, I just haven't had a spare moment to update my blog. So, my last post was back at the beginning of July, just before my besties birthday weekend. What a fab time we had! One of the lovely ladies took her camcorder and is going to make us each a DVD of the weekend, can't wait to see it. Got lucky with the weather too. Can't wait to visit Bournemouth (aka Babyface) again. Baby... as in they're born... face... where your mouth is... no..? Ok.



The next weekend we celebrated another good friends 21st. He had a traditional house party on the Saturday, followed by a pool and bouncy castle party at his ladies on the Sunday. Such great fun.

Then the next weekend it was my fantastic BFs 21st. We hit the town on Friday night, had a few drinkies with our good friends, and had a jolly old time. On Saturday it was our five year anniversary. Five years, woo! And then on Sunday we had a BBQ at mine to celebrate BFs birthday again. We also hired some sumo suits. Sooo funny.


Oh and I had my hair blondified again. Woop-woop

Big weekend...

It's one of my best friends 21st birthday next week, so we are partying in style this weekend, going to Bournemouth for shopping, sight-seeing and then of course clubbing. I'm really loving Taylor Momsen at the moment, so I'm going for rocker chic style steal. Hopefully I don't look like an Emo...
