Morning all - Never started one of these before...ohhhh the responsibility!!!

Had a huge storm last night, much needed but it rumbled on all night so I feel as if I've had 2 minutes sleep.

DD off to Orthodontist (sp?) later, she's so worried bless her, impressions being taken today - I remember how blugh that was when I had a brace fitted many moons ago.

Any nice plans for the weekend??

    Morning

    We too had a storm last night and my poor washing, which had been dry for two days, is now hanging on the line like drowned rats!

    Is already very muggy here now though so don't know if we will have more rain today.

    Tomorrow i am doing a car boot sale to try to get rid of stuff my daughter bought back from University and make a bit of money at the same time! I wish they didn't start so early though - not really sure why they do. We have to get up at about 4.30am!

    Tenmah - I've done my share of boot sales in the past, the early start really is the thing that puts me off now, hope you make loads and loads of money.

    Pooky my cat Tigger looks identical to your Oliver, she is 17 now and cannot manage to groom all that white fun on her tummy so she has to be combed quite alot, which she is not keen on:rolleyes:

    That breed has such a lovely nature and are quite sociable for cats I think.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Lou - Oli is 16 and starting to have a few issues with his grooming, luckily he's always loved the brush and will sit for hours whilst I brush out enough fluff to fill a duvet.

    He doesn't mieow, I don't think he ever learnt as his mum died having the litter - she had 10!!! He was the only ginger one, the rest were short haired blacks.....He looks in complete awe at my other cat when he mieows as much to say "wow, how'd you do that then?"

    :D

    morning all!

    Just caught up with last night - Snags - glad Mr Sunday is all sorted ;)

    Cloudy here but little bits of blue sky possibly peeking through. Apparently supposed to be heavy showers and then sunny later today.

    Last night was soooooooooooooooooooooo hot in my classroom :( I couldn't wait for it to end! (pooky, it was an IT class I was teaching - you asked last night).

    Let's see what today brings - another mad day I expect with everyone enrolling for September.

    I can't decide whether my hayfever has ramped back up another couple of notches or whether I am getting a cold. I think it might be a cold, it will explain why I've felt so lethargic over the last few days. We'll see.

    morning everyone, another busy day for me. I've got the car in for its service and mot today so will have to walk to the garage to pick that up later.

    I'm gradually losing the will to do anything though, I feel like going back to bed and staying there.
