    WOW..everything looking good there and you are so organised.
  • Awww, cheers ladies!

    Bob - I'm hopeful we don't need to go down the eyedrops route as I can only imagine how much fun that wouldn't be! Even the wormer gets administered by the vet as there is only so much "tablet tennis" I can handle! :eek: He stands for no nonsense bless him - down it goes and she never dares spit it out again!

    KC - I can't honestly say that Her Majesty is doing as she's told, well, not unless it happens to coincide with what SHE wants from the situation as well! :D

    Taxi - I still struggle to consider the word "organised" and me in the same sentence as anything other than impossible! :rotfl:

    Ah well, they call the impossible "herding cats" for a reason :) I miss mine like crazy. Have you seen the latest Simon's Cat on youtube? Having a snowball fight with a bird....

    :rotfl:that was so funny, especially the bit where..... ooops, mustn't give it away :rotfl:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I used the swaddling method on the cat- as soon as Fluffy saw the towel coming out she would be on top of the pantry..i had to get very sneaky about it.:cool::rotfl:

    Eek, I don't want to think about that! OTOH, a neighbour down the road has a boxer - and they just *look* pugilistic, somehow (and that word is appropriate too...). But the boxer is a she, she's only 3 years old, and she's such a friendly thing, absolutely loves being stroked.

  • All good stuff and progress EH.

    Your signature (the bit about local food) is important in all this. We have a fab local bakers. Their bread rolls taste better than anything shop bought. Our butchers (which I dont get to as much as Id like) is really patient with me, if I'm spending £2 or £20. Think we have got brainwashed into thinking supermarkets et al are better and sometimes they just aint (points grabbing aside). For instance stewing lamb at Asda, couple of bits (no bones) for about £4. At the butchers, loads of bits and bones (for stock) for £4. Ooh I'll get off my soapbox now!:)
