  • ouch! dont think it would work with 5 cats and the magnetic collars could get expensive as well. but im thinking with 5 cats one of them will be a bully that will defend his territory from other cats! thats where jinks is going wrong, he lets the other cat come in and just sits watching it eat his food.

    bathroom is all clean, floor needs doing, but will ask DH to do that later in the week as had to get help getting out the bath :rotfl:

    We've just had a power cut for over an hour so the candles have been lit and the torches have been on. My mate's DS came over as well because he didn't like sitting on his own with just a couple of candles so we've been playing dominoes. However, this does mean I've done no flying so far as I couldn't hoover and couldn't see loads.

    Anyone joining me for a HHC 6.15 - 6.45?

    Wish me luck for tomorrow morning folks - I'll be using the wheelchair, as last time I tried hobbling, and nearly keeled over in a dead faint when I got outside, such is my needle-phobia.:(

    Good luck LW, will be thinking of you! Needles don't bother me as I'm diabetic, but I had a flatmate once who would practically pass out just from seeing my insulin in the fridge!

    Today's list finished :j and a few bits from the extras. I tried to sew a rubber gripper thingy onto the back of our LR rug but I couldn't do it, any ideas of how I can get it on there? It's meant to just lay underneath it but it slips about a little bit and gets all bunched up.

    Also any ideas on getting crayon off laminate :mad:

    Tonight am going to finishing the present list, take photos of some bits I'm selling and get them up on Faceache and paint my nails. We always have a treat for tea on a Tuesday after I get weighed, so just got a chicken in the oven to roast, potatoes peeled and on to boil when OH got a call from his second job saying they were busy and asking him to go in :mad: so I'll be eating that on my own and having the house to myself!

    So, there are these boys,

    What a day, phew i haven't stopped. I cleared and cleaned out every inch of the kitchen. 17 cupboard/drawers all sorted through, floor scrubbed, tap tightened, seals in dw and fridge/freezer all cleaned, bin emptied and cleaned. 3 bin bags of junk out. Then i replaced the outside light, cut the front hedges, mowed the front lawn and brushed up the front path. Homeworks all done, dinner done and ate and dw loaded and 3 loads of washing done..:D

    Feels great to get so much done but boy am i tired. Still need to sort out the tv lead for the bedroom. Boys swimming stuff in the wash now and should be ready for the morning.

    Thanks for all the hugs and Dusty your right i've been here too many times. HTT rang today and SS have been contacted so i'll have word in a few days. I don't know whats gonna happen this time as it's more serious than before..:(
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    Catslovelycats - with a user name like that you're very welcome! Love your piccie too.

    I've wrapped a few pressies and then booked tickets for a christmassy theatre show - we try and do something every year.

    Going to have a quick s/s before hubby brings the troops home. I'm off out tonight wrapping presents for the school fair so I might tell them about going to the theatre just before I leave so DH can deal with the aftermath:rotfl:x x
