    and fingers crossed for Trikers cat. My big fat ginger had been absent for a few days (he chooses to live in the cat mint all summer so doesn't come in often), and he finally turned up last night with a very nasty bite on his bum poor chap. He has been cleaned up, anti bioticed and is now having a strop because I wont let him back out :cool:.

    Going to attempt the bathroom in a mo. I'm resting again but my energy levels always go up as the day progresses.

    DD1 managed to get the cat basket transporter thing from the loft and our appointment isn't until 5. Pixoid (pixie, pickle, picky) our cat is asleep on my bed. She shouldn't be here, shhhhhhh don't tell OH, but she seems to want to be near me. She usually has a few choice spots outside so summats not right.

    I'm hungry so going to get some food.

  • wow valli - you really saw a lot of London. How long were you there for?

    Nearly finished DS1's room - just his desk to go now.

    I've just been and rescued 3 kittens:D - only a few hours old - their mum had decided to have her kittens in the corner of my mate's garden behind some old worktops so I had to go and get them so they could be moved into the house.

    I've got to wrap my brother's pressies now before we go to my parents' house and give them to him. I also seem to have gained 3 extra kids - they won't be here long though because we're going out.
