    Welcome to the new girls and :j tax rebate. Hope Mr MWC ok now
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Oh no! I'm really sorry, MWC. Hopefully, your new girls will quickly settle in and ease your heart a bit. And I hope Mr. MWC's bite heals quickly.
    Good, clean fun.... :D

  • Thank you lovely MSE friends

    The new girls are settling in well - they're not eating much but there have been no squabbles and they all put themselves to bed this evening :T - and Miss Effie appears to have got over her shock :)

    MWC - hope the sadness of the weekend diminishes with the start of a new week. I genuinely hope that the new girls, under Miss Effie's gentle tutelage, thrive in their new home.

    Hope MrMWC is healing too - must be a shock to be bitten 'out of the blue', as much as the physical harm.

    Have a great week, love to y'all.
