    How’re your fur babies these days - do they all get along together?

    My best boy stays aloof.
    The other two are fine.
    They dont argue or anything which is good.

    ONe of the 'new' ones still does not go out which is a pain but other than that all fine.

    My best boy had put on some weight but is getting a wee bit thinner again. He will be 19 this year.
    REally really do not know where the time goes!

    Paperwork IS never ending if it's anything like here. Feel like you're winning then a few days later back drowning in it.

    Glad you saw DS and GF and Kitten.

    Take care

    Hi beanie - I hope you don't mind me asking but what would you say is the most useful types of food to donate to a food bank? There is one just opened near where I live - run by one of the local churches I believe - and I'd like to make regular weekly donations.

    Tinned meat, tuna, Fruit juice/dilluting juice. Tinned custard, rice & fruit. Fay Bentos pies.
    No pasta soup or tinned tomatoes.
    Sweets and biscuits are very plentiful at this time of year so not needed at the moment :)

    HTH.

    Sorry to hear you've been feeling down Beanie :( I think we all go through this from time to time. It's when we think too much.

    Also sorry to hear your dear friend is moving away. Hopefully you'll get to have some catch ups with her though.

    Glad you got a lovely visit from DS and GF and kitten. How cute are kittens - melts in a heap :)
