I was going to update this but I have had such a busy (by my standards!) 6 weeks that I hardly know where to start.
So there is a temptation not to bother.

To summarise:

Parents, Colleen and zagreb2 visits,  Cd rom of baby pics, Birthday, scart leads, cats, and dvd's. That should remind me of what I was going to say - maybe!

Cats

Spiggy has a small growth in his left ear which has been causing recurrent ear infections. He has had drops but within 2 weeks of stopping them, he is having trouble again. Surgery is an option but at his age I am very reluctant. Another trip to see Chris my old boss is in order I think. Have to raid the penny jar - my vet bill is currently at ( Read more... )

BOO!

Small annoying grumble...
Why does the BBC always run off schedule? I can understand important news items, live shows etc over-running but scheduled Tv should not run so many minutes late. Bloody irritating.

I can Print!

Anyway, my house is a mess as I bought a cheapo printer from eBay (didn't have one before so anything is better than nothing). ( Read more... )

I don't like Mondays. never have done - even when they are bank holidays. Must be something to do with the change in routines from the weekend.

However today has been ok so far.

The sun is shining - the cats are basking in it. I walked up to the post box and it felt wonderful to feel the sunshine on my face. A bit of sunshine can really lift ( Read more... )

Well, I suppose I have earned myself a couple of brownie points today.

Remembered to order some more pills for Spiggy - although I really do have to take him in for a healthcheck before I get the next lot.

Went to GP to get another prescription for me. Saw another doc as mine is on hols and she was very nice. Got the bus there and back so extra ( Read more... )

Bloody swedes.

Impossible (almost) to chop. Local shop has them at half price  ( 39p - cheaper than a tin of Heinz beans) and since I like mashed swede I have bought a couple recently. But it does put you off them when it takes 20 minutes of grunting and groaning to chop them.

However I shall be having a proper dinner of mashed swede, carrots ( ( Read more... )

The Monk
You scored 13% Cardinal, 84% Monk, 47% Lady, and 18% Knight!

You live a peaceful, quiet life. Very little danger comes you way and you live a long time. You are wise and modest, but also stagnant. You have little comfort, little food and have taken a vow of silence. But who needs chatter when just sitting in the cloister of your abbey ( Read more... )

My mum sent me up an Easter card with some money it in to buy a choccy egg with.

Well I can't not get one now can I?!!!

...well for today it is anyway. Probably be frosty overnight and pouring with rain tomorrow.

Yummy!  Bought a bag of  8 apples for 40p today as they are just about to go past there best. But they will be fine for cooking so thought I would make an apple crumble. Got heaps of flour in the cupboard that I should use up. I have also got a tin custard ( Read more... )
