    Sainsburys loves me this morning or at least they love my cats.

    They sent me a sachet of new Whiskas casserole - this will take some dividing into 3 equal portions.

    Also 3 MOCs :j two are for £1 off Whiskas casserole which is a gob smacking £4.50 per box at the mo so I might wait and see if it goes on offer next month.
    The other is for 75p off Whiskas creamy soup which we have had a few times and its very well received. Its £3 this week or certain flavours are so I think I'll get this one.

    On Greenjinn they sometimes have cat food which is how we got to try out the cat soup so its another reason to hold on incase the casserole goes on the list - got until mid May

    Mhoc-and breathe!!

    Sorry he is still stressing you out. It will get better i'm sure. I dealt with a lot of paperwork while the storage company were packing the house yesterday. I was going to take a load of it to the new house and spend a few days shredding but instead I bought some box files at car boot on Sunday and threw away a lot and just crammed the rest into the files to go in storage. Only paperwork I kept out was the house deeds and other important doc for the house. These have gone to OH'S place for safekeeping.
    I did keep back a few odds and sods like toiletries etc that I will need in the next 3 months or so. The storage chaps were great and came at 8.30 and finished at 2.30. I kept them fuelled with tea and biccies. Even my stash is now in storage. The house seems strange now its empty so I just need them to come and get going with the drying now.
    Had a quote for the new bathroom and new boiler ( £2750.00 and £3000.00 respectively) and I was shocked as the bathroom is small but I text the chap back and asked for a proper breakdown. However I am probably going to have to do it as other than possibly a new kitchen floor there will be nothing else to do and the house will be completely refurbished!! ( just the outside needs painting)
    OH's shed has been started and that caused another problem. I wasnt there when they started and when I got home I was shocked. It seems so big. I asked the chap to measure the height and he said 2.6 metres and as it is within 2 metres of the boundary. In order not to have planning it must be no higher than 2.5. I queried it and he said its ok no one will know!! Oh and I went indoors and had a massive row about it as he hates confrontation and said to leave it. Anyway we both calmed down and I text the chap and told him that it needs to be changed to 2.5 metres and that OH wanted a roof sloping towards the fence and the suggested 1 inch is not enough. Anyway he came yesterday and changed it.
    Then as I got home I had a call from the chap buying the house next door saying the Estate Agent had told him I was in dispute with the neighbour!! I was not best pleased but explained that I had just asked him to fix or replace the fence between us before he sold up. He did not and then went away on holiday for a month. Anyway this chap was lovely and I said it was not a problem and we will sort something out about the fence when they move in. All left amicable.
    Lastly moved into the house on Monday and it is lovely and at last I feel human again. I can go shopping for food and I have a fridge and a freezer
