Plans for today thrown in the air due to the wet weather! Little Cats are causing chaos due to being confined to barracks - they have been told off twice already. Fortunately they have both calmed down now and are having a licky-clean ….
I foresee lots of tidying, cleaning, sorting etc today … Not a bad thing. It’s all quality of life stuff for me and will be nice for Mr KK to come home to 😊

Got paid on Friday so have done all my budget resets, money shuffles etc. 
Have had to increase cat food budget to £200 - if that doesn’t create a buffer they will be leaving!! 😉
EF still only at 4.8 months (I am targeting 6) but at least the £800 new mattress effect has been cancelled out by my usual monthly savings and what I had left over at the end of the month. 

Moved an additional £500 to savings and sent £200 to OP (really wanted to send more to OP but was firmly sensible! 😉) plus a 14p TT 😊🥳
Updated my signature as I wasn’t able to a few weeks ago. 

Time for breakfast 😊

You know how people know the state of weather by looking at seaweed …. Well, it appears that Little Cats offer the same service. Three times so far today, the cat flap has ERUPTED with a Chloe hurtling through, followed a short time later by Georgeous. Each time they look perturbed and affronted. Each time, I look up and out of the French doors and it is tanking it down with rain …. ☔️😉😂

- Coffee table in the lounge cleared and cleaned. This led to various things being properly homed again - what is it about wooden clothes pegs that mean they wander about all over the ground floor of this house …. 🤔

- The omni folder of recipes has been reviewed. Veggie options worth keeping have been shuffled off to my folder, Mr KK’s favourites are in a new folder (the old one had got all distorted) and I have a pile of recipes, that *might* be of interest to him (after excluding any that put meat and pulses together) for him to review when he gets home. 

- Cleaned the shelf behind the kitchen sink including the shallow glass bowl that holds the scrubby, the nail brush, the cloth etc.
- Cleaned the bottom shelf of fridge and all areas below it. Filtered the remains of what Mr KK had left in there for lunches (the green ham had left the building!! 😳). 

- Done some knitting and some cross stitch 😊

The cats may be the ones spreading the clothes pegs... at least, they do here. I'm getting similar complaints about the rain. How is it that sometimes they can sneak in through the cat flap without you knowing, and at other times they are like door-slamming teenagers? As for their opinion of the wind getting up suddenly at 5am on Thursday and Friday...

But, you must understand Hoomans, wind is sooo unsettling and undignified, as it disturbs our fur and distresses our whiskers!! 

😉❤️ Cats eh, Universal …. 😊

And actually, I think it’s Mr KK who needs to take the credit for the clothes pegs. There are critical times during making Airfax kits when rubber bands and pegs are needed to hold things together as the glue dries … Well, fine, no problem, borrow the pegs, but for the love of sanity PUT THEM BACK!! 😂😂😂

And for drying lino- prints!   little string washing lines appear on the radiators complete with pegs.  Ah, boys and their toys!

Yes apparently the driving rain drove a cat right into our place too.  OH saw it shooting off down the hall once it discovered the house was already infested with people.

Wow … How very unsettling, for both you and the cat!

Could you get Mr KK some pegs specifically for model making?

This totally.  Mine is a very noisy teenager cat, announces his arrival every time he comes home several times a day.  If he jumps off the bed in the day it sounds like a hippo coming through the ceiling.  But on a very few occasions when he's gone out early evening I've found myself worrying about him being out so long later, only to find him already sleep on the bed.  🤔😼🤣
