    that I will there bob...sure tonight will be a full nights sleep and even gonna set the alarm in case!!
    Funny looking back on the last week...tomorrow comes hardest hurdle #1...dotty and poppy cat go to mums. They'll be happy as larry as shes gonna give them real chicken. Al I can say is that they have lived here for years and the word "loss" doesent seem adequate. Manu and Alfie will be here until 23rd and turtle will go, but unsure where right now, and then God help the fish cos the pressures on!

    I'm sorry to hear that you are having to part with all your furrkids etc but at least you know they are going to good places. Re the fish - have you thought about a local school?

    hey isom just caught up ...not much i can add that hasnt been said ....will be thiking of you all ... hope everything goes smoothly for you with the cats etc leaving
  • well they went and house quiet tears shed and sleep had. Just spoke to mum who says they are hiding but knew they would...will take them a week or so to settle in as theyve only ever been here so will be very strange for them. Church was tearful - very apt sermon. Feel for mum so much who has to go through this too and has been a pillar of support. Now just tidyin and sorting paperwork which is all I'm up to today...tomorrow will be more action!

  • morning...seems very quiet! The remaining two are a bit unsettled and dont seem too sure about where they are - possibly expecting them to pounce. Good money making w/e with in total 265 of stuff sold...wont pay it all off but will help!! Cash to pay in today and cat food to buy. Food budget has been minimal as still cant eat...wont do me any harm as so much to loose!

    hi ISOM, haven't been online this weekend, and have missed all the life changing decisions you've had to make, you have hugs from us, wish i was closer to give you some help. Hope the house share works out. Don't feel guilty for any decisions you are making, it's a case of needs must and you've not been left with many choices. ((((((hugs)))))
  • Just a wee update before the next tranche of sorting..will do various "sections" such as keep to move, sell, go to mums....have put the word round about selling furniture etc so all go...literally! Cats are settling in at mums but I return to mine with alfie having wee'd on the bath mat!! onwards and upwards...

    Is that because of all the upheaval do you think ISOM?
