Life on an animal rescue farm: yesterday was probably our most manic day so far. We dealt with two wildlife animal emergencies, we had the vet out to change Ernie’s splints and also to look at the alpacas willy
we had about 30 separate deliveries of gates, fencing and all sorts. Jack and Vicki went to my old house and filled a lorry with all my stuff to bring over to the new house which I then had to find room for and try to put away (in between everything else), we’ve got Mark building two new enclosures which MUST be finished by tomorrow morning as we have emergency animals coming in. We had a giant lorry bring 3 tonnes of ballast for the new enclosures, we had a neighbour bring her grandchildren over to meet all the animals, we had to fix a load of fencing that Gerald the giant goat had smashed down and we also had to make about 100 calls to find someone to take away our muck heap and to find a farrier and to have our skip removed and a new one brought. Honestly I have never felt so mentally exhausted. Because of all this we missed going to our best friends birthday party and we are gutted. We are going to make it up to him and we hope he forgives us. Running an animal rescue means you can never truly commit to anything socially. We have accepted this. The other week we had tickets to an outdoor cinema which we had to cancel. We’ve actually given up on showering and going out now ![Rolling on the floor laughing :rofl: 🤣](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/joypixels/emoji-assets@5.0/png/64/1f923.png)

Posted by Jodie this morning (and taken from iganony). Two wildlife emergencies, emergency animals coming in, no time to commit to anything socially (except all the Elvis nights out Jodie, yeah?), and given up showering (which we knew about since the days of Dave Doyle).
I wonder what the emergency animals are and how long it'll take Jodie to start scamming more money. Sound for a pound is going to be sound for twenty pound soon, with a lot of insults for anyone that doesn't donate because Jodie's an ungrateful cow who's in way over her head.
