    Mine wants to go out to do his business but it's pouring with rain and he's looking at me as if to say "Make it stop-I wanna go out!" LOL....

    Linda I love your cats names. They are brilliant :) how did you choose them?

    We have Louis (grey tabby) - after Louis Theroux - and Hurley (ginger) as in the character from Lost...

    We were originally going to have 2 furry blokes called Colin and Dennis - (I just thought they were excellent cat names) but Dennis and Maureen (name chosen later) were close littermates so i didn't have the heart to separate them!

    I want another kitten - I'd call him Malcolm

    Louis Theroux is one of my wierd crushes!

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I'm right there with you on Louis Theroux Linda - I think he's really sexy!

    My visitor has just gone :( and I'm off to work in 5 mins :(:( but he's coming back on Friday, and then for 2 days on the 28th! :j :j

    I think it's been the best and loveliest weekend of my life! :o:o

    have a good night all, whatever you are doing.
    I've just had two hours in the rain putting up outside tree and lights and then the light strings coming down from the guttering ( like shafts of starlight ) pulled out of connectors:mad: . So had to rewire with all new ones ( while OH encouragingly kept saying 'they wont work, just chuck them out' ) in the dark, but...THEY WORK!!

    off to dinner with freinds at restaurant which is ( or was ) run by one of Raymond Blancs competition winners........and they're paying, so very MSE.

    Have fun;)
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D

    ....one-way ticket to Portugal booked !
