**Bank Holiday Weekend Chat**

Pooky

Morning all - anyone got any nice plans for the weekend?

I'm waiting for the postman before I have the delights of asda...I tell you, I'm living on the edge.

I have a 6 hour drive ahead of me today. :eek: I was planning on setting off at 6:30am as if I was going to work but I was too tired when I woke up and decided it wasn't safe. So I'm just getting up now. I don't know what time I'll get back tonight but I'll try to remember to text Maz and ask her to tell you I'm back (if she doesn't mind, that is). I'd better get dressed and get breakfast soon. I'll do one more post before I set off though.

Edit: Oh great, that's all I need, to be fighting the flaming tourists the whole way down the A64. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8227064.stm

Morning,
Grumpy Bunny checking in.Not doing anything at all, as per usual.
Really would like to bundle kids in the car and just drive away for a few days but haven't got anywhere to go...

Ok, I'm setting off now. Wish me luck. I'll talk to you guys again whenever my grandparents find their TalkTalk CD. Bye for now.

I now have a curly furred cat :mad:

Got home from my run last night feeling great, I did a very comfortable 8 miles. :T

Nipped into Jessica's room (6 yr old) to check on her before I went for my shower and got a shock........




found our cat Maureen in her grasp looking very miserable and spiky.

she shot out of the room and kind of ran downstairs, flicking her feet all the time, she looked like she was trying to climb out of her own fur.

Asked Jess what she'd put on her and she said that she was giving Maureen a wash.

Went to fetch distraught cat to find her covered all over in liquid hand soap from the bathroom.
I couldn't leave it for her to lick off so I had to wrestle the poor thing into the bathroom and shower as much of the soap off as I could.

You can imagine that maureen was not enamoured by this idea. She slipped and slid all around the bath in ever increasing foam.
She's not a big cat and when wet she looked like a ferret.

Managed to wash most of the soap off then wrapped her in a towel, her spiky head sticking out of one end and her tail dripping all over me dangling out of the other.
She was shaking but stayed where she was.

Took ages for her to dry and now she's all curly :rolleyes:
