Afternoon all.

Pleased I gave you a giggle but I can assure you she is a fat cat! She has diet food but it doesnt do any good. She sits there looking all pretty, then runs around the house like a lunatic and then I hear it...the cry of "meeeeaaaaaoooooowwwwwwwwwwwww". Which roughly translated means "I am about to trash your tree mummy if you dont move fast enough!" Then it turns into something out of Benny Hill as I have to chase her all over the house until she collapses in near exhaustion in front of the fire again! Lazy trout. And I tell her to her face too..."who is mummys fat girl?" Um, perhaps I had better get her booked in for therapy in the New Year. Still, she gets her own back at about 4am when she decides she is cold and wants to get into bed with me!!! I have to get her in a headlock (as if you are cuddling a teddybear) and then she settles down and goes to sleep. I gave up throwing her out as she is like the Flintstones cat and just kept coming back for more!! :rotfl::rotfl:Oh and did I mention she is also a slapper?? Anything male walks through the door and she is all over them like a rash! Schmoozing for a belly rub and cuddles. Perhaps she could teach me a thing or two as she always gets it?!?!

Having lived all over the UK I suspect the "right fat knacker" may be Redladyese, picked up on my travels. I have a very weird kind of accent it has to be said. Mind you, based on the above I think weird is a fairly accurate description of me!

Oh and big news, the cellar is undergoing a facelift on Monday!!! :eek:

Hope the Chemo goes ok Jedi.

Hi all

I've not posted for a few days but have read most posts - hope all those who are poorly will recover soon

Well I have the lurgy now and had to cancel my flu jab which was supposed to be this afternoon I'm freezing cold, altho house is warm, and my fingers really really ache - hope this isn't the start of proper flu as I am no way near ready for Xmas :eek:

I have done both my Christmas, and New Year shops online with MrT so at least those are covered. Storecupboard is fairly well stocked I think in case I can't get out for a few days.

However, my worst nightmare is that I just don't trust the weather forecasts anymore :mad: I really need to get to M&S for Dad and SM presents but its a bit of a dodgy journey in snow or icy conditions. Metcheck has given snow for this afternoon, altho BBC said we would have it at 6am (we didn't) and they are giving sleet for tomorrow, which could mean a white out rather than what they are forecasting... I just don't know... I guess I do still have just over a week to get my last few things done.... But am worried that between being poorly, and the weather... it won't get done

House is a flipping mess, still. Behind on washing etc... arghhhhh

Anyway, nowt I can do about it today so I am going to bed for a couple of hours before picking DDs up from school.

Keep warm and well everyone

Dont keep worrying about presents, if you are ill just get yourself better first, your family will understand........
Things will get done when your feeling better, just relax a little and do a little at a time....a small nap here and there will help, I know only too well what its like , your head keeps racing but your body cant keep up...:eek: chill girl , it will all work out in the end....:)

The only person I'd ever heard using that expression before was Irish, so maybe that's where you acquired it from. Although I believe that "knacker" isn't used instead of "get": I got the firm impression that in Ireland it's used like "chav" but several rungs further down the social ladder, if you see what I mean.

It's the kind of thing we say all right. When I was a kid I heard travellers called knackers but our Mum wouldn't let us, said it was rude and not nice. And she was right too. And nowadays it seems to be exactly as you say.

Hugs to everyone having a bad time or feeling poorly.

Being honest, I am not a cat fan really BUT.... Even I am starting to feel sorry for your ole fat knacker chav cat :rotfl::rotfl:

And whoever posted that the cat was too fat to lie on the radiator anymore :eek: and the other one whose fat belly caused it to fall off the chair:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

So so funny

:rotfl::rotfl: - duly registered - theres a word several "rungs down the ladder" from chav and it seems to be Irish
(with special reference to fat cats.....ooooh....can we apply it to bankers and the like then - as they are "fat cats" of a different type?;)).

Well - I needed a laugh today - as came back home feeling like a well-deserved rant in a couple of different directions...

<goes off repeating to self "just think about right fat knacker cats ceridwen.....">

EDIT: Remembering another fat knacker cat of many years back. We were all sitting there watching what was probably a very "high-minded" play being performed (being as how it was being put on by Quakers) and there was a door either side of the "stage area". I dont remember a thing about the "message" the play was supposed to be conveying - I was just in stitches watching this enormous fat cat who was obviously thoroughly intrigued by it all walking straight onto the "stage" through one door and back out the other conveying huge curiosity with every move as it followed step by step in the footsteps of one of the "characters"....The cat couldnt have looked nosier if it had tried..

Yeah i trying to say "knacker" nicely, didn't work like!!

I come from an Irish family and lets just say its worse that calling someone a "worthless piece of sh...." or slugs have higher standing.


Well i decluttered tons of stuff from the kitchen and bathroom. Including a bag of plaster of paris, which the cats then decided to jump in and trail all round the house:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Also gave away an old fashioned huge metal trike which the boys used to have. The little girls face was amazing when she saw it!
I could easily have sold on ebay and made money off it, but her little face warmed my heart up.

The boys are chuffed too, they said they felt like santa!
Better go make dinner as i'm starving!
