    In other news I am fed up but not surprised to have been turned down for the council tax reduction as dont have a SECOND bathroom that has been adapted. Only have one bathroom in my wee bungalow.
    I am so fed up.

    NO, me neither.

    Not sure what to do next :(

    Cat best boy is much better already so worth the ridiculous cost of the vet.
    Was cold & sunny here earlier so he ventured out for a wee while.

    Not looking forward to the very cold snap & snow forecast.
    It makes me feel trapped :(

    In other non MSE news I have ordered new glass for one of my conservatory windows.
    It is very badly blown & looks dire.
    Some of the other glass has been previously replaced.
    The consevatory is now 27 years old I think & past its best but I just love it in the summer as I love love love the heat.
