    Oh wow, so many of you :T I can't believe so many of us have traveled together for so long. Thank you for sticking with me through it all. :T:T to all of you

    I spent my first day of debt-freeness with the Captain, well I think it was the Captain or some similar mud monster. I wanted to tell him that he would be coming home. I want him to stay where he is for the winter, he will be warm and well looked after there. I don't want to throw the old boy into a cold field without a snug shelter. Noah will be coming with him. My friend is loaning him to me to keep the Captain company. As the two horses adore each other it would be unkind to separate them now.

    Another couple of address updates too. Guess what? The only one I've had to pay for is Colin's chip update, have suggested he pay for it, but just got the look. The look that says 'I'm a superior being, I'm a cat, you're a servant - do it'

    I have some night-time jazz playing in the background, a glass of red and it feels quite homely, provided I don't look at the piles of boxes in the corner :rotfl:Talking of boxes, I've put the unpacked ones on Freecycle and already have had a few messages about them. As all boxes were donated or got from work it seems right to pass them on.

    Today wasn't a NSD as obviously I had to buy carrots ;) but that's all. Tomorrow will be a spendy one though. DS3 is going to put up some shelves and hooks for me, but first I'm going to have to buy them! It means quite a bit of stuff will be cleared away into the enormous broom cupboard.

    Update on gas cooking: Interesting crispy rice to go with HM veggie chilli. I think it needed a couple of minutes less with the absorption method...

    Hmmm, why do one post when you can do three?

    Tomorrow I'll update on my plans for bringing the Captain and Noah home. My plans for work and something else I want to do. Means I'll still be around for a while longer - hurrah!!
