Beanie life has thrown you some real cr@rp at the moment. I can’t imagine how you must feel....but just looking at your signature- the fall down and get up quote and it’s ok to be you quote shows what a determined lady you are. Keep plodding and you’ll come out of the other side 🌸🌼🌻👍January spends - £587.587

So.
Tosay I have been on a wee trip to a cattery.
I have reserved a wee girl approx 18 months old , she was a stray.
She will come home once the work on the conservetory is finished hopefully by the end of next week.
Work on conservetory starts next week & should not take them too long.

Ideas for a name for a new girl? You know you are going to spoil her so something regal like Princess or Annie (it is Princess Anne's 70th birthday in August)? but if she is full of mischief, something that reflects her nature and personality, or her colouring. I wanted a proper cat's name with my girls - the one I have now is Tiddles and along with "Tea" she automatically thinks words with a "T" in are me talking to her (this manifests itself in stealth cat stealing and walking across my keyboard when I am on conference calls) - not something I had considered when choosing her name!
