    Hello flyladies. I've just finished the paid stuff a little earlier than expected which is nice. I am planning to do some ironing in the morning.

    Catch you all tomorrow.
    Spend less now, work less later.
  • pigpen when I've moved house the longest time I kept mine in for is 2 weeks. In some cases I've let them out after 10 days, as they were stir crazy.

    Have you rung local cat rescues and vets? Does Peter like dreamies or whiskas treats? I walked up and down my road shaking them in the packet, calling errant cat's name. Are you able to do some leaflets and put them through neighbours doors? Don't give up. The flyladies are willing him home x

    We have had him 2 weeks..

    I don't know what he likes.. other than tummy scratching.. and paper shredding! He has been in since he came here. I've put him on the local lost pet pages.. I'll start calling people tomorrow. He's not chipped.. I can't afford that at the moment which was why he had not been allowed near outside yet..

    I'm really not confident he will be back if I am honest. :(

  • Jazee I missed that post, what a lovely, caring message. I have had times in my life when things have been bad but never felt that desperate. I remember once when DS was really poorly and he told me he had had enough of the pain and the illness and just wanted to die.

    Sending a ninja kick to LW's lupus.

    And sending Peter come home vibes to Pigpen.

    Not much flying done here today, lots of emotional support needed by the teenagers and I am drained. Who thought toddlers were hard work?

    Right, tomorrow is another day. New library book so an early night calls.

    Come back Peter vibes x

    School Christmas lunch attended. Ds2 chose to still go home on his bus even though I was there with my car.

    Final presents wrapped

    I'm waiting for ds1 to ring from the station as he has gone to the pantomime with his 6th form. DH is snoring on the sofa.

    3xwm done, ds1's bed changed and laundered, nut free cakes purchased

    Continued come home Peter vibes

    LW gentle hugs and an entire pot of spoons for you.

    WM still playing up, it is not pumping out fully so not rinsing properly and not spinning fully either. I have managed to get a wash through it by emptying the water at the filter. Will wait until DH is home on the weekend now to pull it out and see if we can fix it.
