Operation cat worming:
First try, tablet in cats mouth. held him tight, he escaped spat out tablet
Second try, cat wrapped in towel, tablet administered cat swallowed -we win ........

Lovely female cat who probably does not have worms took her tablet nicely.

Afternoon everyone

I am working my way around every room with the hoover and duster - although its a swish and swipe round the middle of the room rather than anything more challenging.

3rd load of washing is in. I really should have done our sheets but want to get on top of the other washing first.

Hubbys monthly invoices are to do - he has been off ill a bit so hopefully its a reasonable total at the end.

Going to wash the floors downstairs next and need to decide what we are having for tea, the mealplanning has gone slightly wrong this week!

Right, its very tempting to stay here doodling about on the puter but thats not going to get anything done! I will work until 2.45pm then stop for another break I think.

Not much happening here this afternoon, kiddies watching "tangled" (again) we've taken inlaws out to lunch (was v nice, everyone enjoyed the fish). I have a wash out on the line and toys everywhere.

DW wants emptying too. But I'm not doing anything for the next hour making the most of the kids being enthralled.

MIL is going to her travel agent to see if she can get a deal for us for next year, and FIL has offered (since he is not coming) to pay for one of the kids :A wow, I told him no need but I was told just to accept it and say thank you :A so of course I have...

Warned littlies they are to be in pjs by 6 tonight - I will watch strictly :rotfl:

Hi all

Was at the paid stuff this morning but have managed to start prepping the garden for winter.

Plants cut back - need to dig up a couple of unwanted plants so if I could wake up tomorrow with the strength of hercules I would appreciate it (I only need it for half an hour tops :rofl: )
Pots re-potted
2 trips to the dump
HM pizza cooked and eaten - nom nom


Tomorrow's plan of action:

Go to the dump when it opens with the old roof from the shed
Plant 60 (:eek:) bulbs for the spring
Dig over bare borders
Put bark on borders
Complete needle book
Compare car insurance quotes
Post letter to dentists

Now watching Strictly with a glass of something bubbly
