    Hope everyone is well.

    Spiky sticks stuck in the ground to spike them in the bum if they try (need to be a good 6inches or more and preferably the sort with lots of little twigs branching off.
    Or (reportedly) human male pee somewhere nearby (although prefereably not on the actual veg seeds themselves presumably)!
    Allie - Tixy's right about the sticks in the ground, also branches with thorns on laid over the ground would work long enough to get them out of the habit of using the ground you've just dug over. The attraction is newly dug over ground - it's lovely and soft on their pads, once it's gone a bit hard again they lose interest and find another patch.

    Thanks guys, we've a rose bush on the other side of the garden so I think I'll trim that and pop some of the branches lying flat and some of them in the ground sticking up to try and deter the cats - i dont want to hurt them really just want to them to leave their presents for someone else!!! (would it be bad if i dug up and turned over soem of my neighbours borders and made it a cat friendly and appealing toilet for them?!! :rotfl: )


    also! Morning everyone, hope a good day is had by all :)

    today after work I'm going to tidy my room (that makes me sound like im 12 again!) and get some of my things put into boxes as im now very desperate to get out of my parents and move in with OH properly (he has said i can live there rent free for a bit and contribute to food bills and some of the lecky and gas bill as opposed to half of everything until im properly on my feet...he's really lovely! :D) I've chopped off a fair bit (at least a quarter) of my debt by living at my parents for a year and i have some money growing in a savings account so i can pay off my loan in a lump sum so maybe in a year i can do that! :rotfl: my credit card only has £150 on it which im over the moon about as its the lowest its ever been (when i first got it about £250 went on it straight away:mad:) maybe i should hunt out my original thread and post this on there?!!!

    Good morning everyone
    Promise I won't mention the footie, 3Dogs, (although I do agree with your comment Niddy).

    Tixy - grrr to little sleep, hope you get through the day OK

    Allie - well done on the debt busting, sounds like you're doing brilliantly:j Don't worry, the cats won't stand on the branches, they'll have a good sniff around and probably get a little stab on the nose which will give them a fright (love the idea about your neighbour's garden!!)

    Numpty - you're right, he'll be Scottish again after the next match

    swanfan - hope your head is OK this morning

    3Dogs - hope the auction goes OK.

    Handy - glad you're back, we missed your stories over the weekend

    And hello to all the other trollbusters out there and anyone yet to log in. Hope you have a lovely day, going to be another hot one:D:D
    :) The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time :)

    Thanks Spoon, i dont know about doing 'brilliantly' but im getting there!

    i know it's obvious but even doing nothing for the last couple of weeks meant i had extra money to chuck at the CC so then the min payment went down and although i always pay a bit more I also had more money 'spare' to put in the savings account, so then once the CC is paid off completely - hopefully next month (paws crossed!) then i'll have more 'spare' to chuck at the loan as i wont be paying CC, i know its simple and you all probably got your heads round that but i only just got it after realising i had £50 left over this month! :o
