    Evening

    Frith - Hope cat is ok
    Skint - Keeping fingers crossed for DS

    Pleasures for today,
    1. Friend who is on maternity leave popped into work for me to sort out her laptop so had cuddles with her lovely baby
    2. Had yummy lunch with friend and little one and she paid to say thank you for sorting out her computer. I also passed on a voucher to her for a free veg box
    3. Easy dinner as put the slow cooker on this morning with a pork casserole in it. DD added some dumplings out of the freezer and we had some mash out of the freezer with it. Love it that I can throw a meal together that feels like a ready meal but know it is all homemade (except the dumplings :o).
    4. Nice chat with DM on phone she sounded quite upbeat but not manic which is good
    5. Enjoying a nice glass of red wine as its Friday

    Hugs to all who need them

    Sparrer - my advice to you: dog flap in the back door! We have one for our large dog - the flap is big enough for a human to get through (my dad has to demonstrate each time they get a new dog, lol). However, whilst our dog is adorable to us, I think he'd seriously harm anyone who tried to break in, so we don't worry too much about the massive flap in the door :)

    1. Yay, it's Friday!!

    2. Great end of week feedback/filling out my uni requirements session with both my mentor and teacher. Mentor will be my teacher on my next placement at that school, so glad I'm starting to get to know her a bit better!

    3. Have been landed with a load more to plan for next week, but am so far enjoying looking for ideas (thank heavens for t'internet!!). Whether I'll feel that way at 12ish when I tend to drag myself off to bed is another matter.... ;)

    4. I have 8 cherubs signed up for my Latin club starting next week :)

    5. DD has been charged with learning a short poem for her homework this week - and has found a really funny one :)

    6. Looking forward to my mummy day tomorrow :)

    VJsmum I wonder if the positive lady in the showers is an MSE'er?

    Tealady cuddles with a baby - makes me feel broody for another grandchild, though it doesn't look like that's possible atm. But you never know...
    Kittikins unfortunately the l/l won't allow me to put a flap in the dg back door, meanie. Just have to keep getting up, I wouldn't get much exercise otherwise :o

    Fingers crossed for the littlest cat.
    Pk, funny that you mention hibernation. I was thinking this afternoon that I would gladly go to bed nice and warm and cosy for the next four months or so and wake up when the crocuses are appearing. Why don't humans hibernate? It would be so civilised. It would also help a lot with weight loss.:D

    Five pleasures for Friday (which has otherwise been full of some very difficult and horrible things to deal with so hooray for pleasures):

    1. Sunshine.

    2. Knitting.

    3. Amazing Spaces on 4od.

    4. Happy phone calls with my parents.

    5. Cake.

    Sweet dreams. Off to practice hibernation. :)

    Evening everyone. :hello:

    Many thanks for the welcome back on Monday on my return from the wilderness ;) . Unfortunately, since then I haven't been very well. A horrid, horrid cold seemed to whack me about the head and I had two days in bed. Back to work and it seems as though I've never been away. Thank goodness for the weekend!

    My 5 for the last couple of days:

    1) Used last of the summer's ratatouille to accompany the sausages in tonight's supper. It was delicious.

    2) Wore a spotty scarf to work, thus donating £1 to Children in Need. My class also all donated £1 each.

    3) Ironing pile started. Not finished as that will be tomorrow's job before the saga starts again!

    4) Bought Christmas presents online using various discount codes.

    5) Eyeing up various items in the house which haven't been used for a while, therefore needing to be donated to a charity shop!

    Littlest cat is still hanging on in there... She is lying next to me on the sofa with her back legs stuck straight out. There is no persuading her to stand up so she must be very uncomfortable. :-(

    Back to the vets in the morning and if she is not walking, she'll have an xray.

    Pleasures for today:

    1) Not a bad sleep.

    2) Terrible trouble getting smaller son in to school today as it was a plain clothes day. Had to sit in the car with him til 9.15. He was good (once he got there!) and went to the Gold Zone party, a weekly event for any children who have behaved well. :-)

    3) Dusted in the living room, brought more logs in to dry round the stove and cleaned the bathroom.

    4) Vet was helpful!

    5) Sitting by the stove tonight watching television with the cat.

    6) Railcard has come so we are a step closer to our annual London trip...

    7) Bed in a minute and will listen to the News Quiz.

    Kittikins - my cats can't work out how to use their catflap, I have to leave it propped open with a wellie!
  • Still catless, but permission has be granted to look. Frith, we is having your one if you cannot keep it on its paws. Oh, to get it through the flap, butter on paws gal, butter on paws. Paws I said, not claws!

    5 Car windscreen done, cracking!

    4 Snorkers are on their way

    3 Kick off DD!

    Back later with more OS pleasures. All continues v.reflective atm, esp. after longhauler visit yesterday-

    For now, have a Match on, at the Alma in Cambridge. Will be among few, very few, friends:
    http://www.theguardian.com/sport/gallery/2013/nov/15/new-zealand-rugby-union-england-in-pictures.

    bop- no full English required at Twick today, thenking hew, just 3 new pu$$ies for Lady bop, all-scrabble trained by Isis.
    Butter on paws will have littlest Frith cat licking well and others ditto, but surely that's for 'this is my new home', rather than barrellling catflap? On this alone I may stand corrected today, NOT at ruggers.

    2 hakas brought 5 home in a month, preceding that final one. New Zealand had the highest casualty- and death-rates per capita of any country in WWI, 58%:

    My little country. Serving fellow women carried Lance-Corporal Jacinda Baker's coffin.

    Right, dressed for battle, mostly black, AB scarf, longline hooded jacket for NZ Maoris/Christhurch earthquake special match too, amazingly found aux puces in Cogolin last year, so more France.

    sparrer - sending special Stay Nurtureds and Warms to you, and finishing touch Get Wells to kittikins, pk, vicky.
    ########
    Frith - see your green light is on, unless you're naughty, comme moi, and sometimes leave it thus.
    Does this mean you are on way to Vet? or back? Fingers superly crossed for littlest Frith cat.
