Off we go...

Afternoon campers,

Hugs to all those that need them/want them.

I know it's a bit late but lots of good thoughts coming your way Sexymouse, hopefully everything will be fine..and so glad that you have a sympathetic doctor. Make sure you take her up on her offer to sign you off if necessary..

Can I ask a favour of everyone? Has anyone on here had glandular fever? I've finally gone to see the Dr and he has given a provisional diagnosis of glandular fever, although he thinks a blood test will prove it. So after getting wet I also gave blood..ugh!! Should have the result back early next week. Why is it one thing after another, and here's me thinking it was just flu..ugh!!!

Flying wise I have washed up the breakfast things and made the bed.

Soappie - will you do a Flylady tour in your ark, please

I shall have to start taking bookings!

Evil again here this afternoon with the rain, and the wind's picking up too. Thank you for the vibes... they want me to start Monday - only one snag, I've a couple of things booked for Thursday and Friday so the agent's just double checking that that's OK so fingers crossed please - ideally I would have like the week off and start the following Monday....

First things first- SUNNYGIRL; With 'gards to the puddytat make sure you do get him/her taken to the vets soon as you get her/him. Your right when you say she prob hasnt been wormed or flea'd but there is a bigger problem, she prob hasnt had her jabs which would cause allsorts of grief for your cat, and she could be underweight and/or dehydrated and the vet might want to pop her on a high nutritional diet for a few weeks to get her upto speed. Problems with introducing animals arent are bad as your thinking. I used to be a vet nurse so i can offer some advice but i bet pigpen knows a million times more than me as she had loooooooads of cats! If you leave new cat in the basket and bring old cat into the room let him sniff around the basket. Then open the cage and leave her to venture out when she wants to. If you leave the basket there she can shoot back into it if she gets nervous. They will initially hiss and snarle at eachother but if you gently leave them to it they will be fine. Are they both boys/both female/one of each?! Boys need to be done as they will spray and fight really bad. Females tend to live in harmony mainly! One of each and you got tenny puddytats on your hands!!! Sorry for such a long dribble, pm me if you need to chat about anything else xxx

Court went ok. Made me feel sick seeing him again though. We are in court on the 8th december for a full day fact of findings trial blugh...basically to discredit him and prove he cant go back to having the kids three days a week. The !!!!!!!(sorry) tried to get the childrens gaudianship transfered to an independant solicitor. He is willing to give up all his rights over the children basically to have mine stripped from me. If he even thinks for one min, one flaming second i will ever give up the rights i have for my babies he can go jump of a cliff. Im sorry, i am so bloody angry though. Its unlikely to happen but now he has raised it, it could happen. Or try to happen....He has thrown a wobbler over christmas too. He wants the kids overnight either christmas eve or christmas night......huge sarcastic haha entered here.... IDTS......I offered a few hours christmas eve and 10am till 6pm on boxing day as we have plans on christmas day now. Hes not seen them for 9months and he thinks all of a sudden he can jump back in for crimbo and mess all our plans up? ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Right, rant over....

Kitchen needs redoing, Hall is still spotless, lounge is a tip lol, and dont even get me started on upstairs....Jase said he is going to do our room and the kids are being made to do theirs tomorrow....I have a hen weekend whoooooooooo!!!! Spa, cocktail making, meal and partying whooop and a whole weekend without the kids!
The outhouse is being cleared of boxes this afternoon, and the boys(bunnies) are coming in for the winter. We left it too late and lost my velvet girl two nights ago so i am heartbroken and guilty as sin. Despite it not being my fault as i cant bring the flaming hutch in and have been nagging jase for weeks. Poor thing must be going loco with everything he's having to do lately. And christmas decorations are coming down tonight for me to go through and see what needs replacing and then they can go up. Can put up the little tree in the hall, and go and get some new tree decs and wait for my real tree to come. Im thinking deep reds...my other tree is pink and irridecent.

Piggers, toots and soaps...sorry for the super long post, its cus ive been gone for AGES lol xxxxx

Hi guys :wave:

Work was hard today, my back is killing me lol I'm off for the whole weekend though so woot!

Been to council, apparently it's gonna have a brick skin put around the house and they didn't want that and the scheduled works to clash (maybe they're doing it soon?) it was Sylvia I spoke to the same lady that helped me with my nuisance neighbour and she's fab, totally understood my frustration and said she'd find out and phone me on Monday. She was quite surprised that my house was one of them though as she thought it was another area, so who knows, maybe I can get the works done anyway if I push hard enough, brick skin wont make any difference to the inside of the house - pfffft council :rolleyes: not a brain between them :rolleyes:

Greenbee It's the council that are doing it so everything will be ripped up, ruined, flung around, getting (or was) new bathroom, full rewiring including extra new sockets, new cloakroom toilet etc and full new heating system (radiators movedto a different location) it will be ripped to bits, and I'm sure the £50 per room decorating allowance will not cover it lol no way am I decorating and putting new carpets in It's a different matter when it's a private company and you're paying full whack, then they're careful lol

Flying: gonna do the list shortly, just decluttered a cuppa and flung some bits of paper in the bin.

Sorry to go on about this
