    when my two kittens moved in with my old boy cat and myself i let him sleep in with me for two days to give him some respite from them, the second day they sussed how to get into the bedroom, that was the end of that, after one night with a big ole tom and two kittens and no space on the bed it was never gonna happen again.

    :rotfl:

    He doesn't sleep on the bed at night, he's not allowed. For 2 reasons, firstly he wakes you up wanted a cuddle and secondly I'm asthmatic and he's not techinically mean't to be in my room (just don't tell my asthma nurse)

    Ebay total looks to be about £22 now :D just waiting for 2 more things to end. Then it's all about payment and posting.

    mine aren't allowed in the bedroom either. Sharing it with OH is more than enough sharing two puddy cats would be a step too far! I am wondering how it will work in our new house though as the kitchen door is a bi-fold door and it won't be long before they figure out how to pull it open. They're nothing if not persistent.

    If your's are anything like mine, not long at all. Although mine hasn't worked out handles yet... but given the way he stares at them it wouldn't have thought it would be long :eek:

    Items have all finished now and that is another £21.85 to me. I've sent out the invoices, just waiting for the money to arrive now.

    Hopefully I will be able to package everything up this afternoon, or at least get it ready to go. Going to get a few more things listed a bit later. But I'm going to take Mum and my cousin to his social club and have lunch first.

    I'll pop back in later

    :D

    my old boys had door handles figured out it was bloomin annoying, they also figured out how to use a window as a cat flap, my girls haven't had to try yet but i know it won't take them long.

    Hehe, how glad at I that I sort so much usless stuff. The tube from a used christmas bath set makes great non-squashable packaging for Ebay

    :D

    Evening

    Well it's been a quiet few days moneywise in Pealand, I did have a little spend today £3 on lunch :o, but I didn't want the soup I had in my drawer. So had a sandwich meal deal instead.

    I've posted all my Ebay packages, and will be transfering the money soon. I also had the cheque arrive for my old phone today :T so I'll bank that tomorrow.

    But the big news is the date with Mr IT :D

    We chatted over the weekend and kind of talked about meeting up, and then we were chatting on FB until 12.45 Monday morning :eek: (I had to be in work at 8:eek:) The conversation got to the point where I said he/we need to arrange this drink, and he text yesterday and we got it all sorted :D

    So we're off out for dinner and drinks tomorrow evening :D and we'll see where that takes us.

    I however in true style am now terrified :rotfl::o. Not because I don't want to go, but because it's a first date.... :o and first dates are scary :rotfl:. So my plans for this evening look a little like this:

    Bath
    Shave legs etc (for no reason other than I'll feel wrong if I don't ;))
    Chose my outfit
    Panic that my outfit won't look right
    Freak out over whether to wear 'big' pants (suck everything in ones) or not
    Paint toes
    Tackle the eyebrows :eek:
    Decide to wear flats, then change to heels :rotfl:
    Freak out a bit more over the outfit/shoes
    Give up completely and wear 1st choice outfit :D

    And then after all that I will remember that he's seen me at my worst i.e stressed at work and realise that it really doesn't matter.

    Hmmm looks like I'm in for a fun one :rotfl::o

    So what about everyone else?
