Good morning,
I don't know what day it is any more. I think it's still morning.

tiamai_d thanks for the info on the dog whisperer I have ordered his book for myself for Christmas. I have also bought myself a pair of gloves to go in my stocking.
lil_me thanks too for positive thoughts about the crazy animal. I think we will get a little tree and put it on the window ledge. They are three feet deep.

Dusty kitten. Snap. I have been phoning council and have got lots of reference numbers. We have had flooding all week and now people with sat nav keep coming down our track and getting stuck. We have to keep phoning farmers and garages to get people out. Its costing me a lot in phone calls. Thanks for reminding me I can e mail them too.

Hello everyone,

I hope everyone's getting on all right.

Pigpen - fabulous tree - and - ewwww - about your puss. Hope it clears up quickly!

I'm supposed to be visiting family for a couple of nights in between Christmas and New Year and have left it too late to book a cattery. *Sigh* - not sure what to do. We don't have a cat flap, so I don't think I can ask neighbours to feed them, because the cats would run for it when the door was opened, and then the neighbours wouldn't be able to get them back in (tried this once before - was a bit of a nightmare for my mate, who ended up staying much longer than anticipated trying to get them back in....)

I hate being disorganised...

rumbly x

And so do cats - my large fluffy one keeps going and running round the garden like he is trying to catch the wind and then clattering through the catflap!

Just had a tin of beef broth to warm me up - been out digging up my dahlias. I chopped in some left over veggies from yesterday. Talking of left overs - OH eats at work so has a snack when he comes home - yesterday he had left overs from our various meals of the last 2 days - vegetable bake, baked beans and stuffing all in one bowl - COLD.

Right need to consult my list and then get on with some flying - I can't resist being outside when it is not raining.
