    I feel a bit sorry for that cat being left with a food timer and a cat flap. Ours has the next door neighbour minding her if we go anywhere and the neighbour spends ages with Fatso giving loves and adoration (and sending me photos). No wonder cat prefers your house.

    I have finished the Xmas chocolates now, so glad I gave some away!! So more healthier eating is going to start, I'm not dieting though, I just love food too much 🤣 mind you I'm no skinny Minnie, more overly cuddly, thats what I like to think anyway!

    My cat definitely does not like company, ours or that of other cats!  We leave her when we go away for the weekend now as she always got stressed going to the cattery.  It's only one full day we are away, and she has her food, the cat flap and a litter tray.  She's much happier that way as she doesn't particularly like being handled, and just likes to be left alone.  She's always been the same, when we got her, she wasn't with the other kittens, she was tucked away in the kitchen in the veg rack :D:D 

    Well done on the weightloss!  I also won the lottery last night, it must have been a good night for it.  Just enough to replace the ticket mind...

  • When I moved back into my little study this week I had a tidy up and found the missing box of chocolates that should have been a Christmas present. It was replaced weeks ago when I couldn't find it (and happily subbed by MrT for the much bigger box at the same on offer price!) so it was surplus to requirements. It would have been rude not to hide it behind my printer and eat one every time someone annoyed me.  Gone in a few hours obviously, and a kilo up in the week as a result.

    Good news on the lotto win and almost 4lb off 🥳💃

  • @jwil mine are hiders too. If anyone comes in the house it’s like we just have umpteen litter trays, but no cats 🤭 I put it down to them being house cats, so they don’t understand other people.
    @redofromstart what a find 😋 I’ve been known to have office chocolates too, but I daren’t right now!

    I still have lots of Christmas crocs left too. I have been happy to just have a couple of chops a day though….I can put the lid on and walk away sometimes…..other times I have to have to see how big I can get the pile of wrappers 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I love a typo and Christmas crocs had me sniggering (please, no 🤭), but then a couple of chops a day 🤭🤭 Auto correct seriously hates me, so I completely understand 😁
    I like to have some chocolate a day, even if it’s small and calorie counted. Chocolate is an essential food group. (And I may have a new white chocolate cream egg in the fridge 😬).
