Will be fab, spoiled buns!!!!!!

True :)

Shame I don't live near you as I am chucking paving slabs out!
Maybe offer them to a nearby rescue if they can collect? slabs usually handy as pathways to hutches can get very muddy in winter.

Shame really as like you Kermit I got rid of a load of slabs when we had our patio done in block paving, I sold a load for 99p on Ebay! but was good as the buyer collected them all :) Maybe you could try giving yours to a rescue like Sue suggested or putting them on Ebay. I did keep some which I used to put my current hutches on but I'll need more for the new hutches/shed. Agree Sue my slabs under and in front of my hutches are a godsend does still get a bit muddy in front of the hutches as I only have 1 slab width and I need more than that really when I'm cleaning out the hutches, I do like to have all my cleaning stuff and bags of hay, paper and straw everywhere around me :))

I have been a pain :ymblushing: and insisted my OH got new flat patio slabs for our new aviary base - much easier to clean than riven slabs. I still have all the riven slabs from the previous patio which was turfed over in the runs but they can go to make a new garden path. :)

Well I've now ordered the bike shed ready for the end of the month :) Ordered it online and went through Easy Fundraising so PaP will get a donation :)

This weekend we're hoping to make a start in preparing the garden, we are having the hutch against the back wall of the garden so have to move the composter bin and chop down a branch of the crab tree and chop down my big buddlia bush and start preparing the ground we have to lay slabs down etc.

Yes I will especially as I will have Gulliver here helping us too :)) so will make sure I take lots of pics, will also take some before we start. Shame Gulliver can't take some pictures while we're working as I don't think he will be doing much of the hard work, more supervising us :)) :))
