New plan.

My 'absorbent' waterproof mattress protector arrived today that I intended to use for the cavy bedding. Well the waterproof part was correct anyway. Unfortunately there's no way that the uber thin layer of terry towelling would cope with a week of cavy pee (which I now know from my research is 175ml).

But then I was saved by the Christmas/Summer/half yearly sales. Pillowtalk.com.au sells double sized bed pads that can absorb 2 litres of liquid for all of $12 down from $40 a piece. Of course the only glitch was they didn't give measurements, so I went with what the standard size of a double bedpad is (90cm x 136cm) and ordered three. Will let my non existent audience know how these fair. If not I'm at least well set up should I ever suddenly start wetting the bed.

I washed the polar fleece as well which improves to be impressive fleece which started wicking after just one wash. I now need to give the homespun a good wash and then see how much they've all shrunk.

My blog posts may also become more periodic as it was recently discovered that I inherited my fathers propensity for debilitating migraines. I've suddenly begun spending much more of my life in a room with blockout curtains wishing I could chop my head off with an axe, or at least gouge my eyes out. It certainly should make shows interesting. So far the only thing that's helped is caffeine. I have a very low tolerance to caffeine so my choices are often to be spazzed out and hyper, but pain free or with a throbbing head but at least feeling calm.
