Oh my goodness that is a lot of adorable. Fingers crossed it goes well! I think they quite suit their names, a bit of retro cool with a bit of comforting recognition.
And as @beanielou points out, a lot of silly joy for you and Mr KK asking/singing each other if you've been making plans for Nigel, and Nellie 😁https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6466032/an-in-between-phase

Too cute, here's hoping they adopt you! I think it's always better to home kittens in pairs.3

Done a little bit of light cleaning (cleaned window glass in the lounge, wrestled with cobwebs, changed and cleaned water filter, last load of washing done and dried) - horrifying how when the sun comes out you see all the dirt! 😂Got out in the garden for an hour and have cleared dead stuff from around the big pond - it now looks a bit more intentional rather than a wilderness … 😉 Haven’t started on digging out the taking-over-the-world Persicaria but at least I can see where it is now! 💪😊About to throw my pre-prepped warm Italian salad in the oven and will probably chill out with a podcast and tapestry until it’s time to see kittens later this afternoon …

I had a car in London for 20+ years and became an expert at parking and reading signs - I triple checked everything ....So no you are not stoopid - the traffic wardens here are on fire - they literally hide around the corner waiting for one to be absent minded.. or park one inch too far - i think they get extra bonuses on how near the line they manage to fine you ..
the car clubs in London are v useful due to this.DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

Well …. we will have two little cats coming to live with us on Good Friday 😊❤️
Little girl cat - but nervous but played with us and her brother when we waved a toy around.
Little boy cat - ate kibble from my hand, walked across my lap twice and allowed me to stroke him a little, which is something he hasn’t done with his foster mums yet 🤩❤️
I have shopping and tidying to do tomorrow to prepare for these two 😉
What is the best cat litter to go far these days?

I use Catsan hygiene for mine, but the price has shot up over the last few years. If I was starting with new (and adorable) kitties I would go for wood pellets. So pleased for you all.
mine all absolutely love to bits (literally) the Yeowww catnip cigars.My mortgage free diary: +++ Divide by Cucumber Error. Please reinstall universe and reboot+++
