I know what you mean loadsabob - I am now rather handy with bicarb and vinegar!

I ahve also been watering down my washing liquid - which is worked a treat. I have also been watering my fabric softenenr, but find that I hardly ever use ANY now after reading some posts

Glad that it's working for you too x

Loadsabob

Ah yes, bicarb! That and vinegar down the sink worked a treat! I keep meaning to buy cheap cola for the loo, too! And I'm putting the loo-roll innards through the shredder to go in the composter! Having great fun!

I'll be round later - I've got a taste for the old Rose lately and I've decided not to start my detox until tomorrow - first day of the month etc and as Mr TM is away all week, it gives me a chance to eat up the stuff in the fridge that the boys won't touch (That's my excuse anyway )

Go for it girl!!! ... I got 6 bottles of it here for us to guzzle our way through :j :j



Just hope I like it now

According to my Hubby, who is much more of a wine buff than I am, Zinfandel, which is one of his favourites, isn't technically a rose but a white as it comes from white grapes!! Don't ask, I don't know how it comes out that colour but anyway, it should be treated & white & chilled, served with chicken, fish etc. Personally I'm not that fussy & have been known to chose wine based on which one has the prettiest label.............!

Yes, it does say White Zindanfel which is what confused me rather when I took a bottle out of the box and it was rose coloured LOL!

I've popped a bottle in the fridge to chill so I can sample it a bit later

Still no news on the missing cat, Hubby is dropping leaflets asking people to check sheds etc as I type but I think we are clutching at straws.

Oh, I so hope you get some news soon, and that it's good news *hugs* ... when you say he was sick, was it in an ill-type way or just regurging food/hairball type of thing? (sorry not sure how better to describe it) and is he an elderly cat?

I know all cats are different but it's quite usual for them to actually stick close to home, or even return home if they're out and about, when "that time" comes, so please don't lose hope yet as he might just be curled up in a quiet corner somewhere feeling a bit sorry for himself. I'll keep checking in to see if there's any news on him

While you're waiting for the cat to return you can come and share some of the 18 bottles of wine I've just had delivered from Tesco.

Thanks Moggins, I'm a bit of a lightweight these days though, 31 weeks pregnant :eek: so I'm limited to the odd glass here & there. Think I might need one tonight if the cat doesn't turn up by then.

He was sick several times on Sunday night, kept him in over night then he went out yesterday morning without eating his breakfast (V. unusual, normally demanding food as soon as the alarm goes off), didn't come in when it started raining but dissapered under the fence (v. Unusual, he is a fair weather cat, he usually sits just inside the cat flap frowning when it rains!) & didn't come home again which is also unusual as he normally pops in & out all day. He is 9 years old & neutered, has been quite grumpy the last few weeks but no other obvious signs of anything wrong but maybe there was something which we didn't pick up on?

Cat's are incredibly good at hiding any symptoms of illness (as are many animals otherwise they get picked off by predators in the wild) so don't beat yourself up about not noticing anything wrong with him. He's not terribly old but he is at an age where things can start going wrong (just like people in middle age) which won't necessarily show up, especially to an untrained eye, without blood tests and so forth.

They're such a worry aren't they, just like kids! My two are getting on a bit now, 12 & 13 this year, and <touch wood> appear to be in good health and have never had any major illness, but I don't know what I'd do if anything were to happen to either of them, or they got seriously ill, as I've had them both since they were born. They're mother and daughter and the remaining two of 6 generations of cats that I've owned.

I'm thinking of you and praying he comes home safely

LOL, I've never ordered wine from Tesco before, normally go to Bargain Booze which is only down the road but my 18 bottles only came to £32 including delivery using a e-code from this site. Works out at £1.77 a bottle, couldn't get it cheaper from anywhere else at that price. It was supposed to be 4 cases but they couldn't deliver one of them so dh has two cases and I have one

I can't drink red, gives me wicked hangovers.

Curry_Queen

Ah well, just to confuse me even further, DS has just called to say he's coming home tonight!!!!! .... KIDS!!!! :rolleyes:

Guess I'd better delve into the freezer and find something suitable to cook for dinner then :mad:



I'm secretly very pleased :j ... cos I was missing him loads and panicking at the thought of being left alone here all week


Oh !!!!!!, just realised that means he will want his PC back and I've got the BB live stream running on that and I can't get it back on mine cos the connection got broke :eek:
