    kitten update - Poor Charlie George ....

    glowgirl, some years ago I found a kitten of about the same age, evena little younger, in a bag in a ditch, an the vet said simialr thing, (and that little moggy cost me about £300 that first week:rolleyes:) but she pulled through, she had some problems but lived a happy and busy life but was sadly hit by a car at about 6 years old.

    They can be real little triers, so I'm keeping my fingers very strongly crossed for him.

    Fingers crossed for Charlie George - poor little mite!

    I have a similar story. I hada tiny little white kitten that was given to my then bf (now ex!). Toby was tiny, riddled with worms and fleas and had cat flu. He was sooo poorly and I spent several days off work just sat at home trying to get him better. My other cat Ebony decided she was going to be mum, and looked after him brilliantly. He recovered, and then a few months later disappeared. We were heartbroken, but the day before we moved we found out where he was and got him back. Unfortunately he was run over at about 18 months. Poor Ebony was distraught, and moved in with out next door neighbours to be with their cats :(. She's very happy, and we've now moved and have a year old cat called Kitty.

    Ahhhh fab 80's skirt on ebay if anyone's interested! I love it but it's too small for me.

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120483024348&ru=http%3A%2F%2Fshop.ebay.co.uk%3A80%2F%3F_from%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dp3907.m38.l1313%26_nkw%3D120483024348%26_sacat%3DSee-All-Categories%26_fvi%3D1&_rdc=1

    I did buy a lovely tea dress earlier for 99p + postage - and it wasn't black!!!

    Anyhow I was wondering if someone could answer this question. I want to buy a small locket heart but given it really small how on earth do you get a good quality picture inside of it?

    I think it would just have to be a very small picture and you might have to skimp on quality a bit - it might just have to be a picture of the person's face rather than any outside detail. Accessorize had a nice silver heart necklace in the other day.

    My outfit today is (yes I know I'm late to the party again!):

    - Pink blouse with frilly sleeves (Miss Selfridge)
    - Pink and gold brocade style tulip skirt (Dotty P's)
    - Black furry cardigan (given to me by sister)
    - Sheer black tights (M&S)
    - Black Victorian style ankle boots (New Look)
    - Black wool mix military style flared coat (New Look)
    - Brown leather handbag
    - Multicoloured stripy scarf (Accessorize)
    - Usual jewellery

    Perfume and make up are same as yesterday.

    I'm work until about half five, then home to do job stuff and chill out. I'm also going to try and get our new internet sorted tonight - think we're going to go with O2 but need to find out a couple of things first.

    Also ladies, I need your opinion. If you had to go to a corporate event on Friday where lots of running about was required, would this be a suitable outfit?

    - Long sleeved purple scoop neck top
    - Dark grey waistcoat
    - Black pinstripe straight leg trousers OR charcoal grey wide leg trousers (I haven't decided yet)
    - Pewter ballet pumps with jewel detail

    Happy Tuesday everyone!
