Hmmm looks like Ollie has other plans regarding the vets - he has just polished off a bowl of proper cat food, sat and washed himself and is now asleep under the bed. One very alert cat.... Cat's who'd have them

Im in thanks Dusty. Awake early because Ozzy is galloping around. So he has been fed and Im decluttering a cuppa.

Natty. Looks like he is feeling better. Fingers crossed. How old is he? Know what you mean about cats who'd have them. Only had Ozzy 3 months and its like he has been here forever. Still miss Jake. We wouldn't be without our cats though. They bring so much. Need to check decorations on tree to see if he has taken any more walk about.

Will get dailies and bits done before I go to my voluntary job.

Hugs where needed.

Had to laugh about Ollie - hope you get to enjoy some time with him Natty.


Been up ironing since 6am - want to succeed in the challenge this year...

Natty68

Boddy he's 13 now and he has always been the Lord of this house..lol Although ninjha cat is muscling in now..we have had her just over 2 months and it feels like she has been here since birth, (she's 16mths)..lol The old girl is going strong though, she will be 15 and still acts like a kitten. The last two were 18 and 20 respectively

I'm in again....the last two weeks have been terrible. I am just never at home at this time of year with work and various meals at people's houses, extra work etc etc.

Will do my best though and at least do today and tomorrow

Hi all. Thanks for the new thread. Hugs to all needing them.

I'm in and also for the New Year ironing challenge please - doing quite well with that but always a few bits left - perhaps I will get rid of ironing basket totally when it is empty and then will have to do it all each week!! Glad we have very few clothes as it means it just can't pile up because it would not be a pretty sight - oh gross don't even go there!

Lozzy88

I am in this week please, thank you for the lists I would like to give the house a good clean before Christmas and try to downsize on toys I did this about a month ago but I don't think I was brutal enough.

Ds2 is taking steps on his own, 6 is his record so far, it would be lovely if he was walking by christmas/his birthday
