    Hi all. Maytaurus - thanks for adding the words to the photo of Louis! Glad your family liked him. He's currently chasing a rolled up ball of tinfoil around the kitchen, getting under our feet -oh, and he's had a bowl of porridge! Your update is great. As the items for the fayres/stalls are for fund raising, I think we should add them to the update, too.

    KathyXX
    p.s. spider update: he's still lurking in here but I couldn't stay away from the PC - I'm being very brave!

    Morning all,

    Kathy you are sooo brave, I would have moved out by now. I hate spiders, we get most of ours in the kitchen which is quite old now so some have been lurking for a long time. I got DH to spray that expanding foam stuff in the gaps between the cupboards so they can't get out. He hasn't cut it down yet so it looks like I've got fungus growing now.:rotfl:

    Maytaurus I love your posts they do make me laugh.:T

    Anyway time for brekkie, then food shopping again:mad:

    Have a good day everyone.x

    Morning all, hope it`s nice and sunny for you. Bright here but still quite cold.

    Well we`re keeping the dentists busy here this week. DD had to have fillings done on Monday, DS at home today `trying to sleep through the pain of toothache` so he reckons anyway. Emergency appt at dentist at 2pm, as couldn`t get one yesterday, and I`ve got an appointment tomorrow _pale_ not my favourite place to be. Had major problems after trip to the school dentist when I was 10 and had a serious phobia ever since. This dentist I have now is very understanding and I don`t get quite as stressed now as I used to.

    Love the cute kitty pics Kathy. I was offered a kitten last week but had to refuse as my 2 dogs would probably go nuts.

    dpixie - re teenagers
    Could your SIL come and train my 2 please ?
    I don`t even know if there are carpets in their bedrooms as I haven`t seen them for months - and as for clearing up and doing dishes ...........!!!!

    Maytaurus - your post definitely sets us up for the day - we miss you when you`re having bad days. Hope you are good today?

    Chocclare - you can knit the boobs if you want - send them unstuffed to LH and the `finishers` there will do it for you. Cheaper on postage too ;)

    Off to do some h*******k -groan- before I pick up TROUBLE from nursery.
    Have a good day everyone.

    Oh Dash, Darn and Irritation. My Brain will only hold so many things at a time and how to post a picture on here directly from Photobucket has gone because the space has been taken up by posting montages on my Blog from Picasa-- I WANT TO BE YOUNG AGAIN !!!!

    Pippa - that's exactly the same colour I did my ruffle scarf in for my Mum's birthday! Well done on posting the piccie.

    For some reason, I can't access my emails - it keeps saying I'm not allowed! I hate it when this happens. I've turned the whole system off and back on again which made no difference. I was able to access them this morning and haven't done anything out of the ordinary - hopefully, the problem is AOLs. I'll just have to keep trying.

    I'm busy in the kitchen this morning and was hoping to have the afternoon knitting, but I may have to sit somewhere other than the sitting room because Spidey is still lurking somewhere!

    Chalky - you and me both!

    ISOM - I don't scream anymore when I see spiders - I just want to be sick! It's just as well you don't live here - I have cows in the field next to my back garden. I can see them from the window!

    KathyXX
