    I finished work very late today and am not sure I can be bothered to fly. OH is due back in about 15mins and it is easier to fly when he is not here, plus the plasterer is coming to give us a quote soon so I would only get interrupted. I have all day off tomorrow so unless I feel really guilty later, I will do Thursday and Friday then. I can knock quite a few things off the list that I don't have or have alreaady done anyway.

    Another ooopps moment. Got kittens about 3 weeks ago - allegedly 2 brothers, aged 5 months. So no real urgency to get them neutered. However, hmm hmm, they are actually brother and sister, (hadn't really checked before, trusted the lady I got them off)
    So now its time for frantic calls to CPL and get them done before I have the pitter patter of tiny paws:o


    We used to have a cat. We got her off a farmer and we were told it was a female, we called her Lucy. I wanted to keep her in the house rather than let her out, but, she ended up driving us mad, so we decided to take her to the vet to get done so we could let her out the house. Turns out she was actually a male, although, we didnt realise until we were actually at the vet when she was getting checked over :eek:. She was about a year old by this time, so we had a male cat called Lucy. Never did get used to calling it him, and even now, still refer to it and her lol.

    Woah woah woah!!!! Lady Toots........what on earth do you mean you went in town by yourself!!???!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    One side of me is very pleased for you, as I know how much of an achievement this is for you, having seen first hand how much it takes out of you, so there is clearly some improvement in your overall wellbeing if youve been able to do it by yourself as well as having the confidence to go by yourself!

    But the other side is going to give you an absolute ROLLOCKING!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!! Were you ok?????? how did you manage? Did you think about how you would have managed, or what your plan was if you did need someone or something had happened??????

    so THREE stars in total please TOOTS- not bad for one day

    and DS and I have been to PC world and decluttered an ACER laptop so no more fighting over the PC - he is busy setting it up right now. It's his birthday/xmas gift from me, his dad, grandparents and anyone else who wants to fling money at me. I treated myself to a gel cushion for my wrist as I am getting a lump and I bought a new Ink cartridge so we're sorted there....I did want a can of compressed air (for dusting PC esp keyboard) but considered £8.99 too lavish LOL
    I will use a paintrbrush and the vacuum as I have been doing....
