Dad doesn't like strangers...... honestly, love him, but he's driving me round the bend at the moment. Luckily, they have quite a lot of friends who are still going to see them. I took my mum out for lunch whilst he was having dialysis, just for an out the house break.

I can't believe the baby is so near now. Time has flown! It's so exciting! Is Mr Alioops prepared yet?

We can't believe it's so near now. Mr Alioops (what an upgrade from husbandpet :rotfl:) built the cotbed the other weekend and after going back in to the bedroom and out again stating 'it's really happening isn't it' bless him . Think it's been tough on him though as he's been worrying about me constantly even though my health hasn't suffered as much as we thought.

I'm another looking forward to your job update and fingers crossed for the car passing it's MOT.

Oh fingers crossed the mot went without a hitch.
£20 a cake seems very reasonable for a standard one. Not so for a fully iced and fancy one ..... Time alone would increase that costs surely?

Glad boys all are ok and hope to see a photo of Casper soon

A couple of days have gone past already with no update from yours truly

The car passed it's MOT but only after £351 worth of work:eek::eek::eek::eek: Worn out brakes...... Thank goodness I have an emergency fund nowadays. Nevertheless, it's money I didn't want to spend. It also entailed having to hang round town for hours waiting. So I also spent on lunch, well, I was very hungry:D

Dad is still being awkward, but he is starting to go out a bit and is using his walking frame rather than his mobility scooter. A good thing!

The finances are up to date and as I suspected I've spent far too much over the last few months. It's time to start shopping around for best prices again, no more excuses!

.....and here is Casper

Just a Victoria sponge with fancy butter icing. It's the time element at the moment. What with Dad, the Captain, Noah, Colin, Casper and Roger the ruddy rooster there's not a lot of time left in my day:rotfl:Oh and work too!

Thanks for the piccie. Must reciprocate with a picture of our new arrivals too..

£20 for a vicky sponge with fancy icing sounds good. How about trying to timetable in one, and see how it goes?

Casper is so gorgeous, is dear Colin showing any signs of rapprochement yet? I do hope so, you deserve a much quieter life:)

please-let-me-be-lucky

Casper is very cute! As is your butterfly cushion!!

Glad your Dad is on the move a little more Xx

How sweet is Casper!!


My neighbour has a white cat - they have called it Cobweb!!


I also accidentally have an addition to the Elephant fold who has already cost me a lot of money!!

Casper is sweet, hope Colin has accepted him now as a friend.

Casper is very sweet. Let's hope Colin starts accepting him a little better.

Lovely to see you back and hope things go better with your Dad.

Take care.
