    Love the pictures of the cats.

    I have 5 cats which live at home with my dad on the farm. My brother got me a kitten for my 17th birthday and she lived for 10 years. She died last year. I think she got hit by a car because when she came back after not seeing her for 2 weeks she was very thin and I think her leg was broke. She died the next day.

    3 or 4 years ago somebody abandoned a box of kittens at the end of our lane. One of the kittens must have came up the lane but we found it meowing in the engine of my dads car. This kitten was only about a year old and she had 6 kittens. My friend took one and we still have the rest. They are strong big cats and you don't see any mice running about the farm anymore.

    Anyway my dog who lives with me does not like cats so I am not able to have any of the cats live with me. But I get to see them every other weekend.

    Your cats are gorgeous.
    I love cats, but hubby is not a lover of them. He would never do anything to hurt a cat, but would not have one as a pet either!! Funnily, they seem to love him. If we go anywhere where there is a cat, they make a beeline for his lap!
    We have a dog, she came from a trescue centre after being abandoned with her 8 puppies :(.
    She is so loverly:)

    I have just taken £400 out of all of the PAD money I have been putting away for my overdraft. This will pay off what is still overdrawn on the Halifax account and will reduce the A&L overdraft to just under £300 hopefully :D It will take a couple of days for the payment to come through to my Halifax account, but this is very good news :D Although I know I have been making progress with paying off my debts, this will prove it to me.

    *happy dance*

    I have been ignoring my Domestic Goddessery for the last two hours :rotfl:Onwards!!

    Another busy day for me! In addition to all of this, and the things I listed earlier, I have also finally joined a bingo site for my free scratchcard. I committed the cardinal sin and bet my initial £10 deposit, but I did win £15 on my last bet, so this has now been withdrawn *phew* The profit will make my PAD when it hits my bank account.

    I've also designed a study timetable for t'other half to allocate his college work, and donated the books I hadn't sold on Amazon to charity. I have had a NSD (And hit my target for the month of 10 NSDs already!)

    My plans for the rest of the night consist of watching Lost and....that's it :D I will also pop into the Sunday Soiree on the PAD thread too!

    Hope everyone is having a lovely day.

    Well done on your busy day fresian!
    This is my kitty Harold on the day we picked him out at the RSPCA. Harold.jpg
    How could anyone leave him? I had better pics but they all went when my mobile got stolen :mad: my new phone doesn't have a very good camera. I will put a few more pics on my thread. Don't want to hi-jack your with pics of my cat!

    ps. Don't worry about not getting round to the cooker. I heard it's bad to clean them too often, honest :A :rotfl:
