    Our Sophie cat (rescue cat ) must have had a very bad experience when she was a kitten with a young blonde girl as she is terrified of our daughter.
    This morning Sophie got up with OH and went out to do her business, now back and had some breakfast but for the rest of the day Sophie will hide in the bedroom and that's how it will be for the next 4 days until daughter goes home.
    We have to go and check on her every so often, Sophie is very lonely up there and misses us and needs cat cuddles and kisses but no way will she leave the bedroom
    Our 2 boy cats are fine and will love everyone who comes through the door

    Feel sorry for your Sophie she will have to have extra cuddles when daughter goes home.

    Our Poppy runs around the house if a baby cries on the tv looking for the baby. I am wondering what she will do if we out walkies and she hears a baby cry. I have it in my head the family she lived with before her forever home :A had a baby and Poppy got thrown out :( she was found wandering the streets of Manchester :mad: poor Poppy.
  • Good morning Everyone, A lot calmer here at the moment, was amazed to look out and see no fences down.

    Morning all. Happy Christmas eve :)

    Anyone know if you can get a 6 x 6 fence panel in the boot of a new ford focus estate. :o
    Just need the one panel
    Tia :)

    Assuming you can put the seats down and the hatch to the back measures more than 6 feet then there is no reason why not. Take a bit of rope with you though to tie the hatch down, just in case!

    Morning all :) Happy Christmas Eve :santa2:

    Waiting for DS1 to get back from the States. His return flight to the UK from Paris has been cancelled, and the next flight to the UK is looking very suspicious too, no update for 30minutes, so wondering if that's been cancelled too :(

    No news from him :(

    Sometimes looking on flightstats isn't very reassuring :(

    Had text, couldn't land in Paris, been diverted, landed at Toulouse for refuelling and being diverted back again to Paris. Turbulance has been horrific.

    Feel so helpless and know he's really had enough.

    i am so happy and feel so lucky and so fortunate in life. i have more than i need or deserve and hope some of it may rub off onto anyone who is feeling alone or in need this xmas :)

    You may have more than you need, but I'm sure it's not more than you deserve! :) :A

    Merry Christmas to you and all the Elite. Thanks for all your help throughout the year. :T :beer:
