Don't you dare go back to lurking! stay and join in the fun. I know I'm a bit boring wittering on sometimes, but I do love the company!Colin is a wee bit greedy, nothing wrong with that but as the stupid American, what do hedgehogs eat
Never stupid darling! Normally, hedgehogs eat worms, slugs and stuff like that. But quite a lot of people put cat food down for them. Colin is both a cat and, if necessary a hedgehog....He is very innovative
lol and clearly is not bothered by you putting him on a diet - he will eat elsewhere :rotfl:
what is she putting out for hedgehogs - cat food?
Kitten food on this occasion, luckily colin is in touch with his inner kitten...Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

Me too! and I cook when I'm stressed, helps me keep my Rubenesque figure
I've had a long day at work and am getting ready to settle down in front of Strictly with a glass or two of wine. The cat is curled up on the sofa next to me [probably to mug me for my dinner] The rain is chucking it down outside, I'm not moving...Total debt at October 2008: £67,213.30

piq~Not sure how I have never come across your diary before.
Have read the first page & the last couple.
Sorry about the job situation.
Great debt reduction though.
I laughed at the story of your cat eating the food for the hedgehogs.
My cat is rather on the large side and is constantly mooching for food.No joy in trying to cut down what they eat~was even eating dog bones the other day :eek: :rotfl:I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Hi Piq,
hope you enjoyed your chlled out evening. Is Colin following in The Bears paw prints? I seem to remember he went round eating the village hedgehog food?
I was wondering about the outside shelter you have for Colin - did you buy it or is it home made? Mr A could do with one as he sits out in the rain getting wetter and wetter and theres a lot of rain up here!
Poor Mr A had a fight with another cat who bit his tail - ouch. Its better now as hes been on antibiotics but he usually holds his tail aloft and twinkles along on his lovely paws whereas he couldn't hold his tail up at all for a while and just went to bed. A side effect of the antibiotics seems to be that his appetite has increased hugely so he's eating loads :eek:.
Enough cat waffling from me - am off to bed, night0
