Ugh so tired, and my cold seems to be coming back with a vengeance, but guides coffee evening went well, and I have dates sorted to do my camp licence now also :-/ think that's a good thing, something else for me to work towards at least.

Let me know if you need to bounce ideas off anyone - I think I can just about remember doing mine

Today's outfit is quite plain but I've gone a bit mad with blue accessories:

Indigo skinnies - Primark
Bright blue 3/4 sleeved tshirt - Dotty P
Black sleeveless jumper - Primark
Navy pumps - Primark

Blue shell polo style earrings - ancient
Turquoise "a" necklace - Sunday Girl
Blue beaded necklace - Accessorize
Blue chunky beaded necklace - Dotty P
Blue, grey and white stripy silk scarf - National Trust shop (with my handy staff discount )
And the blue sequinned headband from Primark - I was sorely tempted to wear this celtic style but thought I might get laughed at

Cats love this game. make mummy worry.

I have long learned that trying to catch a cat is a fools errand. The trick is to try and get the cat to catch you: for which you have to look totally bored and involved in something you cat would be interested in. Do you have a cardboard box anywhere, throwing balls or balled of rolled up paper into a box is a great game.

Otherwise anything tied to a string is fun, more so if it rustles.

go in side, leave a door/window open and fill a bowl with food, (cat might her the box/tin...)

edit: I actually clicker train my cats, and return is something now very, very well ingrained. Make sure to give your cat something especially yummy when it comes in.

Morning lovelies!

Im getting the run around my cat who usually doesnt go out...I have been letting him out for a bit every day and this morning hes just gone off! Ive seen him a couple of times in the back garden but the he disapears again! Ive never had a cat before so Im a bit panicked that hes going to get lost and not come back...Ive even (ok this is embarressing) phoned OH at work to say what should I do??? Hes grown up with cats and said just leave him he will get bored...cant focus my mind until hes back Im sat here with the laptop next to the back door freezing! Any cat owners please calm me down??

He'll come back Sharon, don't worry too much! We had the same thing with our cat when we moved house - he had to stay in for a couple of weeks and we were both sat there nearly crying when we let him out for the first time and he promptly hopped over the garden fence

He'll know where home is and he'll come back when he wants lunch

Long sleeved grey and black striped top, Asda
Grey long cardi with cerise, White and turquoise detail, Primark
Studded brown ankle boots, M&S

Thank you I know Im being daft -hes just ran right back in and went straight for his food...lil !!!!!!! He will probably sleep all day now...To be honest I haven't let him out at a younger age (hes just over 1 now) because I am worried about him getting run over or taken by a chav or something but he has gotten really depressed and would sit at the window meowing all day I think he was only in next doors garden lol

http://www.clickertraining.com/ is probably a good explanation although haven't looked at the website myself. Before clicking, and still now, I used more basic (and more me) reward based conditioning. Clicking is a technique that's now quite popular and thus I wanted to truly understand it. I find, the key difference is in helping me with timing and thinking through a training issue, not in their end so much compared to my own methods.

Got it- hurrah for new boots

Retro- Flash does a vanishing act every now and again. He comes home when his stomach rumbles

Oh thats really interesting I will have a good look at the site thanks! I did get him in the other day by shaking his biscuit box but made the mistake today of giving him food before he went out...doh...Im so not used to cats I grew up with dogs that generally will do anything for a biscuit lol

I have always had cats and let me reassure you they always come back. it's quite scary letting them out for the first times but they have great instincts and will be back to eat and for somewhere safe to sleep:)
