    Morning all
    I have listed an item on e bay
    I have cleaned my living room
    I have cleaned the bathroom
    I have shown DS piccies of the kitties
    I have notice that two kitties are girlies .. and the boy is rehomed already with OH's sister
    I have asked DS if he wants two kitties - he does...
    I am telling myself I don't want two girly kitties (but I so do...)
    I have an older kitty - would it work? I have 4 big kitties.. 2 are 9, 1 is 1 and one is 9 months they all get along ok.. unless they are arguing over whose dinner is whose
    Does Pigpen want to keep the kitties? yes, but I would have 25 kitties given the chance!!

    ***thinking long and hard***

    I am 'considering' allowing OH to keep Polly.. but suspect he may want to keep Penny as well.. :rolleyes:

    exactly why I watch for the feel good factor:rotfl::rotfl:I just sit there and know my house could never be as bad as that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I've threatened to put my mum forward for it...the only thing that has stopped me is how ashamed she would feel. The main culprit is my step-dad who is a complete hoarder who won't throw anything away, ever. Both my sis and I have been over there to clean it up, but nothing ever comes of it - it just goes back to how it was.

    I've done the sum total of no flying today, only my dailies. Things have gone from bad to worserer and I'm going to throw the (clean!!) towel in for today. Thanks to those who commented on DD's behaviour: she seems to have a dodgy tummy, so that might explain the demands for food. Although it's a bit odd as you usually go off food with a tummy upset...perhaps she just needed it to, erm, move things along (sorry if tmi).

    Hope everyone has a good evening - see you tomorrow!!
    D.

    Natty.. what would your friend do if the cat was living with her? She would HAVE to take him to the vet and she would HAVE to pay the vet.. so if the cat is still officially hers she should pay immediately... and I would tell her so!!!

    I hate it when pet owners are so irresponsible.. these are the choices they make when they get a pet. You could tell her after she has paid for his treatment that if she wants you can have him rehomed so she won't have to pay any more bills for him.. then sneakily rehome him with you because you obviously love him.. :D

    I have loaded the DW and wiped the kitchen table today

    I have also decluttered a cupboard, a microwave, a cot and a highchair to DS1.. I have several more boxes of stuff to whizz over there tomorrow.. or this evening and a small chest of drawers.. :D ... oh.. and the playpen from the shed.. FLING!!!

    I should then have enough room in the bedroom to start decorating for DD2 .. she will be VERY pleased!

    If I were to have another kitty I would have two because older kitty is MUCH older IYSWIM so the little one wouldn't be left on her own (one day) and I want a non-tabby cat because all my cats have been tabbies....
