    Just need to work out how to turn the mattress in my enfeebled state...
    :eek: Dragoon, threaten or bribe someone else to do it for you!

    Ted's had a mad five minutes belting around the back garden; he's now curled up on the sofa, for all the world as if he owns the place!:rotfl:

    I don't know why, but I feel as if I just want to lie down and sleep. I'd better shake that feeling off; we have "A" coming over tonight - I know he's really coming to see Mr LW, but it won't look too good if I sit here and fall asleep! :cool::D
    If your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)

    How about having a nice nap with ted for half an hour LW? You might feel better for it.

  • Aww, that's a shame, juliejim , maybe the next job is just around the corner though.

    What's making you scream, Piggers?

    I have cleaned the kitchen today, and the downstairs bathroom, vacuumed downstairs, given the splats their all new litter tray and lost a small fluffy cat. I don't think she could have got out the front room window as it was only open a crack, so I expect she is snoring somewhere under the midden in Minion's room.

    I have decided that after I have vacuumed my room, the landing/stairs and cleaned the upstairs bathroom, I am going to decimate her room, move her bed and wardrobe and generally confuse her when she comes back from KH's. I know that it is much easier for me to keep places clean when they feel 'right' in terms of layout and design, so maybe that will help her. If not, at least she knows that I will fiddle around with stuff and fling things without asking her if she doesn't do it herself!

    In the meantime, I think I need some food!

    [wanders off, followed by staaaarrrrrrrvvvinnnng cats]
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.
