    Morning!

    I've whizzed through the thread and get remeber much but -

    Huggles to juliejim

    I'm not getting very far on the flying front this week. After the fence fiasco yesterday I'm glad I reported it to the council now. I had to go in to drop some stuff off and decided to find out if it was a council property next door or private, for insurance purposes.

    Ayway turns out it's council and in view of the fact next door didn't eve pop round to explain or apologise I'm glad I did now.

    Yesterday got even worse.

    My 1st Ex H phoned too ask if I would go too the vets with him too have Mousey cat put to sleep:(

    I hadn't seen her for months and it was shocking to see the state she was in. She'd lost so much weight and had a huge growth on her jaw that had spread behind her eye.

    So we took her and it was all very sad but very quick and painless for her.:( She really must have been in alot of pain so it was the kindest thing to do. Ex H took her home to bury her in the garden.

    Right I must get ready for work. Won't be back til late as it's my bosses birthday today and we're taking her out for lunch. Hopefully I'll get some flying done at some point this evening.

    Have a good day all xxx

    I really hope the electrician finishes today. I hate living in this chaos, and he has crap in the spare room, study and on the landing. Ironically, the only room he hasn't left stuff in is the bathroom which is too filthy to contemplate using. I have no idea how I'm going to cope with the bathroom work being done as that will take over a week (I just hope they are less messy, but I doubt it) plus I will have to book work calls outside of the times they are here which will be a strain... Suppose I should sort out my diary now...
