Modestyb good news about the pups, its amazing what a bit of TLC does. We got our youngest cat from a similar situation and when we got him he was in a heartbreaking way. Wouldn't even make any noise or come for food/water due to nerves. With a lot of love and understanding he is a wonderful young cat now but still very timid and i guess he always will be.

Our cat was about 18mth when we took her in as a stray, really timid, had been taken from mum too early and had a pretty rough start. Finally a year ago she started sitting on our laps (and now is pretty persistant when she wants a cuddle)...she's 8yrs next easter, so it took her 6yrs+ to get to that stage, never underestimate cats Modestyb, glad to hear your two new additions are settling in well, sounds like they have a wonderful forever home x

Well, not a NSD for me today (again ) however, mattress topper is washed and in the airing cupboard (£6 for a wash and dry at the laundrette...did I mention how much I love my cat at times :mad:) , sleepers for the garden have been collected and just need to be installed in their relevant places (which might not be for a couple of weeks due to other things but at least we have them), lightbulbs (another thing on my list) have been purchased and a mini shop in Mr A done. Enjoyed having a few days off work but could do with another few now :rotfl:

I did get a few more bits for the food box (must deliver that this week) with a wombled APG voucher today, just some tinned fruit, rice pudding and some instant hot oat porrige that was on offer, plus I had another coupon for. Thought that at least that would at least ensure someone (prob a child) could have something hot and relatively healthy to start the day with. So kinda put things into perspective for me today - and a good ole slap round the chops for being a mardy bum yesterday.

Made a really yummy (blowing my own trumpet) blackberry and apple crumble tonight (using my 8p casserole dish ). Used 75g of caster sugar and 25g of molasses (norm just 100g of caster) and it's given it a really lovely crunch and flavour. Even I'm impressed ....move over Gordon :rotfl:

Big hugs to all, Jinty, I forgot to say well done on the weight loss in my mardy state yesterday :T

Oh, and windscreen washers on the car have stopped working....so call to the garage tomorrow :mad: It never rains eh?!

I'm a serial changer of hair colour And I like dramatic changes so it's normally brown to blond to red to blond to brown etc...I normally change it at least once a year

Me too LMH, I've never been blonde - have had blonde highlights though - but most other colours, including purple:D

Hope you're pleased with the change tomorrow x

LondonGirl - fingers crossed indeed for your kick start, you’ll get there!:T

jaffacakegal - hope the busy weekend was also enjoyable:)

QueenB. - great news that the car wasn’t as expensive as you first thought. That’s still a lot though...:(

Sorry, not been about much lately, busy, busy, busy!!

Spent last Thursday, lunch out with a friend; Friday: NSD 9; spent Saturday - food; Sun: NSD 10; more food shopping today. Hope to have a couple of NSDs, but you never know.

So 10 NSDs so far Spoon.

Need to get to bed now, up far too late tonight

Morning all - yes, I know it's the blummin middle of the night!:mad:
Wasnt feeling too great yesterday so took day off and slept most of the day - hence now I'm wide awake and have been since 2am!
I have the gastro clinic today thankfully, so I will be able to discuss things with the doc today. I have a feeling that the balance of the meds I am on for my skin is not quite right. I am worried my (newish) supervisor thinks I am swinging the lead, so I am going to have a chat with her today and put her in the picture as to what having Crohn's can entail. I always feel really guilty about being off work!

On the plus side, I can report 2 more NSD's so I'm up to 9! Should have another two this week hopefully!

Kerri - I hope you're feeling more like yourself - I think sometimes the change in the seasons affect us more than we realise!
ModestyB - well done for rescuing the pups, they sound great!

Have a lovely day everyone!:)
