Thanks guys we are so excited it's unreal!

We've decided to name the white & tabby boy cat Hugo in the end and tried using it for a few days whenever we discussed them. We've messaged their owner to let them know and she's started to call them Oscar & Hugo so they get used to their names. I'm so happy I could burst

Small OPs being made of the Tilly tidy variety whenever there's a debit in the joint account, pleased with how that's progressing.

Money's very tight this month so having to really watch the pennies; I've paid for re-enrolment to silver class which was £95 and paid the deposit for the kitties.

Oh and definitely about bye bye shiny house!

MadVix- your story did make me chuckle, I'll make sure we are vigilant with leaving things 'out of reach' reminds me of when I was little and found our ginger Tom cat straddling the cooker hob and eating the slag Bol straight from the frying pan.mum was not amused in the slightest and we had to have boiled spuds and salad for dinner as money was tight! Funny memories

Lovely names KK!

Honestly, it's like permanently having toddlers in the house (they are house cats though, I think that makes a difference!)!

Not much to report today, just home from work and watching the shocking news of this terror incident on London Bridge :eek:

Have text family who work in central to check all okay, have heard from a few of girlfriends cousins that they're ok; assuming others are still stuck in work/chaos getting home. Sat here with goosebumps. Just appalling, poor people going about their normal daily lives.

I love the story about the spag bol! We had two cats that never, ever jumped onto the work surface in the kitchen...that is until the day mum was defrosting 1/2 lb of cooked beef and one of the little !!!!!!s chose that day to learn how to jump up...ate the whole lot!

Yes, it's shocking about London. I feel so sorry for those killed or injured, and their families. I hope everyone down there stays safe.

Oh mam, the roast beef! I'd be gutted to lose my roast dinner!
Decided to make homemade calzones but I helped out with closing the shop (weekly cashing up of the post office) so I'm just waiting impatiently for it to finish cooking ( half the dough now in the freezer for next time) and the second calzone will be lunch tomorrow in the office.

A few surveys completed today and no spends until £1.50 at Tesco on a pack of spuds, mozzarella & pepperoni.

Will take porridge again tomorrow to work. I had frozen some raspberry coulis we made into ice cubes so I added one of those, some ground almonds and half a banana to the porridge. It was delicious, so will follow suit tomorrow

I have whole almonds every day with my porridge. I can't believe how well they go together. When my stepson suggested it I almost didn't try it as I didn't think I would like it.
