    Aww, squirrel - sorry your bad evening has carried over to a bad day.... hope it gets better.

    *Loving* the moggy - don't they just look at you like that.... :)

    Hehe.. yep they do! I had a cat for a few years and I still miss that 'cat-itude' .. mine used to wake me up in the morning chewing on my hair then look at me as if to say "what??!" :A

    Absolutely! One of mine would come to lay on the back of my head - it ended up making me allergic to her fur, but it was worth it! Still love my cats :heart::heart: one for each of them.

    Awww. I often wonder how mine's doing - the ex got 'custody' cos he was going to a house with a garden while I was moving into a rented flat that didn't allow pets. She was 6 weeks old when we got her, just fitted into the palm of my hand :)

    Have seriously thought about getting a cat again, think landlady would be ok if I asked her.. am not sure that life feels 'settled' enough at the moment though.

    I'm good thanks, just popping in for a bit this morning.

    He's beautiful isn't he. He is a 3 yr old rescue cat, his old owners abandoned him when he was about 8 months old, we've had him since jan 06 and he is a massive monster, but wouldn't be without him.

    Well, if I had a cat, it'd probably be hiding in horror at the moment - I'm off to an 80s fancy dress night on Friday and have just tried on my outfit, a rara skirt dress, leggings, legwarmers, headband, big earrings and even the scary make-up (blue and yellow eyeshadow and bright blusher... mmmm :eek:).... terrifying :rotfl:

    Today I have.. done some work, done a bit of preparation for interview, bought legwarmers, printed off entry form for Great Yorkshire Run as their website doesn't like my card.. think that's about it.

    Moneywise, things are looking ok for this time of the month - not made as much extra as I would have liked and really need to get back into the surveys etc as I've been lazy with them lately.

    Watching 'Tribal Wives' at the moment, there's something really appealing about disappearing off for a few weeks to a completely different way of life....

    Aww damn, just been looking for a CD I've got with some photos of my cat on, can't find it.. did find some floppy discs, so will try them at work tomorrow (I think we've got floppy drives on our PCs...). Also came across some suitable music for Friday's theme - copies of 'Now...' 10 and 13 from 1987 and 1988.. oh dearie me.. :rotfl:

    Morning all! Supposed to be working but have been fiddling about with ancient floppy discs instead - here's my little cat when I first got her... :)
