    Hi Beanie, just popping my head round the door as you visited my diary recently. :hello:

    Your Best Boy is a grand age for a cat, I hope he is keeping well. :) My old cat has just turned 11 & I thought that was old! He is a Siamese though & they have been so inbred for years that they generally don't live much past 12. Hoping against hope that my old cat lasts much longer than that as we've had him since he was a kitten & he's my little kitty shadow. Would be heartbroken without him. :( Oh dear that turned a bit maudlin. :rotfl:

    Also wanted to join in the "cries at Casualty" club - I blame my pregnancy hormones as the slightest thing sets me off. DH just laughs at me. :o:rotfl:

    Good to see you :wave:Yes, Best Boy is an awesome age & is ok at the moment.
    He has had tuna for his tea!

    How long have yiu to go?

    Brilliant news about the windfall :T:T I’m so pleased for you.
    I’m sure the scooter will make a big difference to you. Have you seen the electric wheels that can be added to a wheelchair. My brother uses a chair a lot of the time but is struggling recently and he can’t manage to put a scooter into the car as it’d be too heavy and has no where to store one. Someone suggested these motorised wheels to him - he’s just had them fitted (took a while) but he can take them off to put in his car like he did before although they are heavier they’re not as heavy as a scooter. I haven’t seen him since he’s had them but he is chuffed - might be worth looking at to see if they’d be suitable for you. They were quite expensive but I don’t know how expensive scooters are.

    Wow, who knew.
    Constantly amazed at things nowadays.
    Hope all ok with you.

    Oh lucky boy bet he enjoyed that. :)

    21 weeks to go now, 20 week scan next week. :) Struggling a bit finding clothes to wear as am getting too big for my normal clothes but not big enough for maternity clothes yet. Pretty sure I wasn't this big last time at 19 weeks. :eek:

    I think you are always maybe slightly bigger more quickly second time round?

    Yes I think so Beanie, I think the first time I just looked "chunky" for the first 6 months but this time I've definitely got a more noticeable bump earlier. Maybe because it's all been stretched out before. :eek::rotfl:

    A mixed day.
    A friend dropped in with a lovely drawing of Mr N in a frame.
    Made me a tad emotional.

    Then later on I fell oout the back & have scrapped my chin & the bottom of my face. Blooming nippy:eek:
