    I have two cats, who have the run of a 120 foot garden. Why,oh why, do they come in to use the litter tray?:confused:
    Cos it's nice, and warm, and dry for when they are covering their little 'pressies' - take the litter tray away - I only use one when I'm away. and the cat has to be kept in.
    Don't put it DOWN; put it AWAY

    Well said, our wedding was a fairly small affair, only very close family and friends at the church and a slightly bigger reception.
    We probably put a few noses out of joint but i didnt care, i have a fairly large family particularly on my dads side, but we decided only to invite family members i could recognise! I could probably walk past half my family in the street and not know them:o

    You lot have been busy... GOSSIPING! :rotfl:

    [STRIKE]Breakfast dishes
    Lunch
    Clean out hoover
    Hoover and S&S kids room[/STRIKE]
    WM, TD/dry, HHI and putting clothes away
    Change my bed
    Clean glass doors
    [STRIKE]Hoover stairs[/STRIKE]

    Go to tip (will do that tomorrow as Asda is close by)

    Now I'm having a :coffee: (brewed a full pot, it's rocket fuel help yourself!) while looking at coffee machines and a cheap mobile phone as the shop doesn't have a landline and doesn't need one, but a mobile is handy for taking orders/contacting staff... oh I'm getting all snooty! :rotfl:

    Kids room is beingtrashed again no doubt, same as the sink is full of dishes again! ah well....

    Oh! Tesco order later I think!

    Chunky - congratulations. We got married at Barnsdale Gardens (Think Geoff Hamilton and Gardeners World) - suprisingly cheap, £200 or so for the venue so do shop round! I thought we would be stuck with registry office, but this was a lot better. Dress wise, Monsoon £160. DH wanted me to wear my first one again (something manly about having 'won' me :rolleyes:)
    Serena - big hugs for you. I got a D and an E and dropped out of University twice, and now have a Msc and professional quals. I just decided to have some ambition and make an effort in my 20s rather than my teens. My parents helped a lot by never ever giving me grief.
    Tia - congratulations! Make sure you talk to business link and see what if any funding is out there to help you. Free money has to be good, and there are lots of free seminars on accounts n stuff. Free online course for female entrepeneurs (sp?) here http://www.iwi.hs-karlsruhe.de/entrepreneurs/uk/
    Valli - I removed the litter tray last week and the lovely 'george, don't do that' is simply peeing and pooing on the floor where it was :mad: .

    Obviously the night for rows - one here too :rolleyes: . Hope everyone is feeling better/sorted it out today.

    Right, we are now on countdown to holiday, leaving Saturday am whether DH is coming or not (problems at work despite it being booked since January). House needs to be spotless as my sister is housesitting cats and chickens. A couple of hours should sort it out as for once I have been keeping on top of things.

    Tonight I must:
    Fill DW
    WM x 2 so everything is available for people to choose from when packing
    Wash bedding
    Sort towels to take
    S&S everywhere
    hoover again - am I the only one who has to do this twice a day because of the animals/children?
    Concrete over patio where not very DH is now buried, completed with his stupid work phone

    Thanks mumoffour77 - just though that even with postage at £7.99, all in it would be £15 so that sounded ok? I am just not sure of their quality...
