Bad Bad Booby

I want to say poor mouse but hardly seems fair given your thumb.

I finally managed to cook the fish we bought on Friday. As friend had retired home 48 hours earlier there was an extra fish so it got cooked with eggs and milk and the 3 babies have had some each. There's a lot of replete fur around here tonight. :j

Replete fur :rotfl: awwww!

I used to have two cats, and because I stroked and petted them so much, they were completely useless as hunters but they still had the initial reaction of wide-eyed interest. Best ever moment was when I collected my veggie delivery late one night, and put it on the floor while I sorted things out in the kitchen. The cats were *really* interested in it, which made me chuckle, and then the plastic bag over the damn box started rustling :eek: Turns out there was a hedgehog in there, eating my tomatoes :j I took the box outside straight away, and found another hedgehog right by the front door, looking for its friend, I think they were

Hope you're feeling better now you've had the weekend, anyway.

Aww I love hedgehogs

We lived on a farm and adopted a one-eyed hedgehog called Spike. He used to live in the spare room with a litter tray and have dinner with our cat Gizmo and the farm kittens. Mother cat used to bring round her babies and leave them on the front door when they were ready to be homed.

I do love furry things :j

Oh kissjenn! I confess, I haven't been able to watch the news today, its too tragic. It won't do them any good for me to get upset I've got to go into town tomorrow, and I'm sure one of the charity shops will have a space where I can donate to the special appeal.

Love your story about the one-eyed hedgehog

The Remembrance memorials have been quite something, haven't they ... I'd like to write something more thoughtful, but I'm working in an hour ... bit distracting. But I've been thinking back to the military and the war workers in my own family - my dad, on a radio listening post in North Africa, my nan an Air Raid Warden in Liverpool, my great grandfather guarding the Kent coast in WW1 (Zeppelin raids!). I really want to go to the Menin Gate, but not at a big service, just everyday kind of thing.

Take care of yourself, and have a good evening xxx

Hi KC, I'm sure there will be lots of appeals.

We give through World Vision and have done since SB was a very SB. They want £60 to feed a family for 2 weeks....how uncharitable was I thinking go look at the OS board and feed a family for a month.

I will donate but think £60 is a pitch that will put many off.

I'm warm, dry and my belly's full. Time to get off my !!!!! and do something.

I'd also like to see the battlefields and Auschwitz. Reading a book based on secret recordings of German POWs and what they talked about. It's frankly terrifying because it could happen in any country not because the Germans were "evil".

A reflective time and puts into perspective the nonsense that bothers us day to day

Indeed, in my darker moments I do think that if I had been around in WW2 I would not have been around too long as they were none too keen on the disabled.
Most of my family have visited Auschwitz.It is indeed a day of reflection today.

I am giving serious thought today on where I go next.
I can really only afford to stay in my home if I neither eat or put fuel in my car.

Beanie...that isn't a decision.

What can we do to help...what would make a proper difference?

This is a community and you are so one of ours. So let us help and give you a hand...you're always the first to offer it to others.

Nothing sadly.
I just need to get my head round it.
I am so upset I have worked so hard to be nearly debt free(which is good) but as I now have even less income I can realistically no longer stay here.Private rent would be just as much...........
