    😂😂at the cat, one of ours gets constipated so we give him lactulose which does the trick,it’s not as severe aa a laxative but does depend on them drinking enough to make it work. I have to syringe it down his throat and he hates it but it stop ps him ending up at the vet with an impaction 🤢🤢

    Happy Easter, I hope you have lovely weekend. I haven’t bought any Easter treats at all and I’m now regretting my life choices 😀😀
    Thank you :)  Well done for being restrained!  You could always sneak out and try and get some half price ones today :D 
    I went to my local MrT today and they didn’t have a single one left so I bought a choclate cake instead 😂
    Hope you enjoyed it!  They don't usually have much left here either.  I didn't go and look as we've got more than enough here!

    Mine hates being handled, so I prefer to try something hands off if I can.  It's probably coincidence but it seems to have worked thankfully.

    I wouldn’t know if my cats were constipated as they 💩 outside so well done on recognising that. It’s all glamour here 😆

    Thank you.  She's eaten a little bit today, so hopefully picking up again.

    We went swimming today, so I feel like I've had a nice workout today.  We managed to crack something that little miss has been struggling with in her lessons, so that is also a good result.  Little jwil was really helpful teaching her.

    Not much else achieved today.  I'm enjoying slow living!

    Today's food:

    Breakfast - hot cross bun and nectarine
    Lunch - Lentil soup and easter egg
    Dinner - Sausages, carrot and swede mash, peas and beetroot.
