Just catching up KK 😁 hope you're feeling better now?
I remember the old postcards at the JC. I didn't mind going there back then. The last time I went was with my mum who was just turning 60 and she had just had a hip replacement - like weeks before. They demanded to know what she was doing about getting herself a job! I am glad I was there to put them straight .... She would have just sat and been told off!!
I couldn't actually believe my ears!

To be fair having worked there if a member of staff was in the same post operation situation they would be being challenged about a prompt return to work themselves so were probably required to follow somewhat ill conceived guidance

Just caught up with your diary from April. So sorry to hear about everything you have been through . Congratulations on your new job and as in my OH case sometimes a “forced” change leads to a much happier choice of role, I hope that happens in your case and from your earlier posts about the  interview the signs look good

Thanks all ❤️ You are very kind. 

We are going ALL out for Christmas here! There is going to be soooo much food in this house! 😂😉 (Too much in truth, but we have been restrained for a while now, so we will let rip for a bit … 😉).

Chloe is adapting. She has eaten a bit more today (I put two different foods down for her) and there has been lots of cuddles. It was the not eating that was really worrying me, as she has always been nervy, kind of her ‘normal’ iyswim. We both fell asleep together on the sofa earlier … ❤️

I had a temptation email from 3hrman tapestries this evening … OMG their designs are so rich and COLOURFUL! 🤩 Mr KK asked me to choose one, so I have and that’s now my main present - Hero Husband 😊❤️🤩

I chose this one:

Oh that's going to be lovely. Great gift Mr KK.

we always suspended austerity for Christmas and holidays. I'd rather have  a guilt free £40 on the treat budget than a meal out sometimes.

That cushion is gorgeous, beautiful colours!

He knows me well 😊 I need bright colours in that bleak period after Christmas and before spring. Tapestry is easy to work (it’s BIG compared to cross stitch silks), even when I’m tired and the brightness feeds me in a way I find hard to explain. 

We have books and magazines stashed as well … We are VERY boring … We curl up in our little nest, doing our respective do’s and come together for brews and meals, or if we need help or celebration from the other. Wouldn’t suit some people but it suits us 😊❤️🤩 Feeling very grateful for him this evening. 

Had a proper wobble about Flower just now … inevitable I suppose … sigh …

Me too. But not a lot - about half what she would normally eat - I will try her on a pack of Sh3ba tomorrow, just to switch it up a bit. 

It’s amazing how such a little creature can absorb so much headspace! 😉😂❤️

One other small win to share from today: I got out in the garden long enough to get the (very well! 😳) rooted, potted up garlic in the ground 😊

Feels like next seasons growing season has begun now 😊

I can highly recommend Pet Remedy as an alternative to Feliway, we find it much more effective at calming the cats when they get fractious or stressed.

Very stinky stuff at first, quite "earthy" but we have got quite used to the smell - we had a diffuser which sprayed every hour or so which desensitised us. Now we just use the room spray as needed.
