Hi all,
Yes this forum is very quiet, I'll see if I can think of something! We don't want everyone thinking we Brits have nothing piggy to discuss!

I'm in Northern Ireland now. Still can't get the Internet at home until the end of the week. You won't be able to get rid of me then!!

I've lived in loads of places since I was born:

Ripon, North Yorkshire
Yately, Hampshire
Northern Ireland
Startford-upon-Avon, Warkwickshire
Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire
Cyprus
Saffron Walden, Essex
Aldershot, Hampshire

And finally here in Northern Ireland again. I now live across the road from where I lived when I was here before, 10 years ago. It's so weird to be here again.

It's alrite here. While you have been sweltering back in the London area, I have been freezing over here. Well, not literally. It's been like 10 degress C while it's been in the high twenties over there. Oh well. The house isn't great but it's better than some we've had. Thanks for asking. :)

We're also in N Ireland, up on the North coast. It's pretty windy, cold and wet here, but that's pretty typical. Spend the afternoon running around town to see if we could get any cube grids locally, but nothing ...... have requested kleeneze and robert may catalogues so hopefully will get one of these this week to get our little piggies reunited in a decent house.

I actually built my pigs' cage back on mainland UK, but I ordered from Robert Mays. I found that the Robert Mays grids were better than others because you get more for your money, plus they are solid stainless steel and so are very strong. The delivery charge to Northern Ireland may be quite high though with both companies.

We have just ordered Robert Mays grids - I ordered 2 packets so this gives us 34 grids. We want to build something like a 3x5 on the bottom with an upper floor plus hopefully an extra few over to use for floor time.

yes, the postage was quite high to here - in fact, it was NEARLY as much as the actual grids themselves. To be honest we have been quite gutted to think we weren't keeping our piggies in the best way as we love them very much and were basically doing what we were advised by the pet shop. It was only by accident we discovered this fab website.

Hopefully our little guys will have a new home within the next week.

I'm just waiting for my catalogue to arrive from Robert Mays. I've looked locally for cubes with no luck.

I couldn't wait for my catalogue to arrive so I rang them up and was able to buy the grids over the phone with my visa card. The cost was £22 for 17 panels. The guy was able to quote me for post at the time before I actually bought. I got their telephone no off their website. They were very obliging.

Postage to NI is very dear, I am sure it wil be much less to where you are.

We were very impatient!!! I hope you get sorted soon

Thank you piggywinkle, I'll give them a call if the catalogue isn't here in the next day or two.
I'm busy making room now for the cages. I've been looking at everyones cages for ideas.

Ok I am bringing this alive again because it's true where are we all. Most of us have seemed to have been banned. Oh the shame what will the Americans think of us now?
