    Yup, I faffed right up to the Kings Road for half an hour :p didn't dare go in the Manolo Blahnik shop :eek: but I did go into the Red Cross charity shop a few doors away - Ralph Lauren summer dress for £30?

    The very scaredy-cat came to say hello to me :j

    Sounds as if you're having fun, KC:dance:

    How much longer is your stay likely to be?

    I love it when scaredy cats feel confident enough in our presence to approach us:j. You're obviously a true cat person, they can always tell;)

    I am, I am! Sadly, the cats are too :D a bit too much - they knocked the huge, heavy duty iron off a chest of drawers this morning, *exactly* like Simon's Cat!

    I'm leaving tomorrow - there's just been time for the trip to the Kings Road, met a friend who came up from Woking for a cuppa coffee, and thats it.

    Aw, thanks CBC, the others too - yes, I'm completely a cat person :)

    Nothing doing today, I have to rest up for the (short little) journey home tomorrow, a couple of hours out for a cuppa has tired me out. In a good way, though :)

    Glad you're having a good time KC :) Thought of you yesterday - our 'work cat' (huge furry thing) that hangs around work went missing :eek: But apparently he's been found alive and well, thank goodness :j He's such a tart cat, learned how to use the electronic doors and just hangs around with people making a fuss of him and taking pictures all day long :rotfl:

    I'm known :D

    I'm glad the tart mog was found - fancy a cat being able to use electronic doors! That's A Very Clever Cat, in capitals :)

    Oh! the dress - people were asking about the dress! No, I didn't buy it, that would have meant trying it on and, y'know, thinking. No dice :p

    Shame you left the dress :) I clearly live in poor area ....only thing in our charity shops are chain store stuff well worn!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
