Travelling On

I am a great believer in paying every penny you owe in tax, but also in not paying a penny more than you owe.  It just really irritates me that the DWP are still getting away with the incorrect figures.  They could actually start paying the increase from the 6th April then we wouldn't have any problems.

For sure - can't complain about illegal avoidance if I'm doing it myself!

I had a little rant to my sister on exactly that point 🤣 it seems wilfully obtuse!beanielou said:

It has!  He's definitely getting used to jumping up onto the 3 windowsills that are available to him (wide enough, the room is safe enough, there's a view).  My sister's looking after her grandchild today, as per schedule, and she'll pop over here tomorrow to pick him up and re-install him at her daughter's

Will you get further cat sitting opportunities do you think? It sounds like you've loved having LM with you and it might be an ideal basis for cat exposure - not too much, no ties, but lots of fun (bit like the auntie gig!).

I think so - this is my 3rd petsitting gig for her (the others were her rabbits - it was this time last year that the 2nd rabbit died, poor thing).  During the pandemic, she's only gone away once a year, but this year it might be twice, who knows.  My previous catsitting gigs, 5 weeks a year in London, spread out, were for her brother, but he doesn't have pets right now after a house move and a small baby.

I *do* really enjoy it - and on exactly the basis you describe 😺❤😀

So, Lovely Moggie has gone back to his real Human, and wow, I should have practised the fastenings on the catbox 🤣😾 Luckily, my sister had helped my niece get him in there in the first place, so it all worked out in the end.  Interesting, though 😲

I did the preliminary tidy up while my pasta was cooking including a quick go of the washing machine, I need to relax for a bit now, then its rubbish out, and as much cleaning and tidying as I can bear.  I need to change the bed after letting LM on it for so many days 

Baby Happy Wheel doesn't love me at the moment, but I got a 50 point YG - 1180 points still to win.

I have given up on you Gov.

You will miss your furry friend.

I sometimes miss my cat when she is just in another room!  But I do understand why occasional cat visitors / hosts gives you more flexibility than having one of your own.  It shocks me sometimes just how much we have changed our lives to suit our small furry overlord.

100% all of this, especially the last bit!!

So true. I just turned down an ideal and gorgeous place to live because the feral who now is an indoor cat and only reverts to feral when not getting her own way could not come to.  Although she is an indoor cat the person suggested that her GSD would smell the cat and go berserk and it was not fair.   Honestly I though finding a place to rent with 3 horses would be hard, never thought madam kitten would be the issue!!
