Great news on the kitten! If your kitten's anything like my cats, the obsession with yoga won't go away....if they're not head-bumping me while I'm in a balancing pose they're lying on my mat, or lying next to me during shavasana be aware as well as my mum's cat and mine love to chew my mat and my yoga blocks...not sure what's yummy about rubber but there you go! These things aren't cheap to have tooth and claw marks in lol

Haha good to know he mostly seems to have a fascination with feet and shoes at the moment  

Yes feet and hands...I remember that time. The kitten stage is adorable, but I'm glad mine have settled down a touch now

My oldest cat is 20 next month.
I barely remember the kitten stage!!

Ooh that sounds good, who is it you are using?  I definitely need low impact.

^ this lady. I've only done her two yoga videos so far, not managed to find the time yet for the low impact workout (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JkVHrA5o23o&t=788s ) but I have watched through most of it I also want to do her 30 minute stretching/flexibility videos 1-2 times per week

Thank you, they look great.  I love the idea of the song workouts too!

Hey hey!

Yes he's definitely fun, last night he was in very bitey mode so was a bit tiring telling him to stop and giving time outs, but this morning he was full of headbutts and cuddles, and climbing on me whilst I did yoga x

Bonjour MSE! Got up for yoga again this morning, less playing from the kitten this morning but he was trying to snuggle at every opportunity which made me five minutes late for work

Did my nan's shopping today and dropped that at her doorstep, I have talked my brothers into splitting the cost of a very basic fit-bit (£70) for her as she is trying to lose weight and wants to know how far she is walking when she goes out. She probably won't even get the app for it as she only really wants to know how far she is walking and her steps, I just thought it would be a nice surprise for her, so I will take that when I drop her shopping round on Friday I will get cashback via Airtime Rewards, and emailed the receipt to Shoppix and got some tokens for that.

Not much else to report, managed a few hours of SE work under my belt since I posted yesterday, still not going to be a lot but something is better than nothing!

Had some lovely leftover cottage pie for lunch today, an apple for a snack and we have fish for dinner tonight. I do feel like I'm slowly taking on healthier and happier habits again, one of which is trying to make sure all of the washing up is done before we go to bed. I actually think having the kitten is helping to keep the house tidier things don't get left around on the floor, and I like to rinse out his food bowl before we go to bed ready for his breakfast in the morning, plus I don't want there to be a cat "smell" in the house, so hoovering and mopping will happen every 2-3 days rather than once a fortnight plus we have some Febreze pet to keep things smelling nice. 

Right, time to try and make some extra pennies and make the time fly by until I get to go home and see my boys! X
