MinnieMousesMummy

Dusty - Thanks for hugs and comment, that is exactly how I feel and I have an 11 year old and 2 kids under 3. Its good to hear that I am not the only mum that needs to put up with this although it is still annoying when he breaks promises to the kids and I am the one who needs to tell them.

Dusty yes I have more mogs. I got fluffy boy cat 6 months after OH died as he needed a home and he was a small bundle of fluffy cuteness. When I lost the first 2 old boys I got the drama queen as the remaining old boy cat was 15/16 at the time and I wasn't sure how long he'd have (ever the pessimist!). As fluffy boy cat had never been on his own I thought it best to get another cat then.

It worked out for the best as when old boy cat was PTS last month, the fluffball did show signs of stress (scratching furniture) but he had the drama queen to help him through.

The difference going from old mogs to young mogs is amazing! I'd forgotten how much energy they have.

My cats are definitely my substitute children and I couldn't be without them.

Zara ^^^ wot she said. We're a friendly, if mad, lot, and we don't take offence at a minor booey like that; come and practise posting with us.;)

Long time no speak and it's awful to just leap in and do a "me, me, me" but I could seriously do with some serious good luck vibes right now - the sort that linger for at least a couple of months...

Thanks xx

Good Luck with whatever it is that's happening with you, oh Saponiferous One; good to see you, btw.:o

KH was off on one again tonight.. he is going to a solicitor again.. maybe he should give me the amount the CSA agree he should if he can afford to do that.. apparently the childrens wishes are irrelevant when it comes to what he wants.. and I am.. *sob sniff* .. an idiot... my reply of 'I must be to have put up with you for so long'.. lmao.. which makes me a child.. no, refusing to give in to his bullying doesn't make me a child, it means I have grown up.. a little


Babies all bathed and everyone put away for the evening.


I need to make senile cat a vet appt.. I don't think he will be coming home.. unless it was actually rodent/bird entrails he was hacking up earlier.. which it might have been.. I don't think I can stay with him while the deed is done.. what do I do?!

First of all, may I have permission to send KH some haemorrhoid vibes?;)

Re senile mog - I hope it's not his time, but if it is, say your farewells, and if you can't go in with him, send a big cushion of love in with him for him to rest on - literally visualise it there for him, and he'll feel it. In any case - he's know you all those years, he'll know, in his feline way, that you can't handle being there for the deed, and he won't be upset with you.

Thanks Dustykitten and LameWolf, I would love to join you, this is the only thread I've ever posted on and I know you're all lovely, but whenever I join any forum I always spend a ridiculous amount of time writing forum posts. I think about it so much that I could easily spend half an hour on one little post, and not getting any flying done, or anything else for that matter. It's the same with other social networking, I just can't be relaxed about it. Maybe practice is the answer though

:wave:
Maybe allow yourself 15min forum time for each half hour flying? I use my kitchen timer all the time but rarely for cooking usually to jog me along to getting something done...

MMM hope you can sort something out with OH, sounds like you are both being pulled in different directions X

We are back from the party and DS has behaved immaculately I'm just having a coffee (play centre coffee was NAFF!) then I will set them on with some craft bits I think. Still need to iron a bit of uniform for tomorrow and get bags together.

I did finish off the car bits though as was dry when we got home.

May I send more to double the dose?

Pigpen hugs and positive vibes to you and your cat.

Zaza your post lengths have been fine so far. I only post occasionally, and then its usually an essay, but people here are really kind and don't tell me to trim the drivel (tho' perhaps they think it )

Been flying in fits and starts this week. Some more progress on November challenge :santa2:- sofa all wiped down and new winter throws put on for snuggling. But seeing St Andrew's Day looming at the end of this next week means I'd better shift up a gear if its to be done in time :eek:

Hugs and spoons to all in need.

All rooms done though have been working to my own lists and bits off the lists on here. Whizzed around each room this morning so ready to start tomorrow again.

Have dragged the box with the Xmas paper etc down to start wrapping. I hate wrapping. Need to update list on what presents left to get. Presents for DB and SIL need wrapped and sent off.

Soappie Good luck vibes being sent your way.

Pigpen I know how difficult it is having had to do that with mine before. I have always stayed with them. Though that's me and everyone is different. I'm sure even if you did not stay he would know how much he was loved and how difficult it is for you. Not an easy thing to do.

dusty thinking of you and RP

had a good decluttering session and offloaded quite an amount to DD2

DS1 has gone christmas shopping with a frined im almost afraid of what we might al open this year, its the first time hes done his own LOL

made a roasted veggie strudel for dinner today as an experiment for the vegan christmas option it was a mary berry recipe from the booklet that came with the daily mail on saturday, tasted lovely will definately do that again.

Valli

I remember Zaza from way back...(not least because I remember Hector's House)

Dining room CLEANED

wow...it needed it...

Helped DD with personal statement for Uni - she plans to take a year 'out' but partly because she needs to do some volunteering relevant to her career choice. And she'll be able to build up some funds for Uni.

Thankyou Mrs M-P; my knitty joy was short lived when I spilled cider all over it last night :mad: I washed it his morning and although it smells a lot better, it seems to have stretched a fair bit, will wait until it's fully dry before I pick up needles to make a smaller second one.

You've also reminded me that in the past I have made a lovely roast veg plait with puff pastry; I'm trying to convince OH that a meal without meat isn't the end of the world and this may help get him on side I used to hide those mini mozzarella balls in it to give it a bit of cheesy goo but I realise that's not much help for vegans.

Ironing all done, we had roast at lunch time so an easy dinner of sandwiches awaits later for those that need it. No work for me tomorrow so I'll get stuck into the non-laundry chores then.
