A big cuddle for you Lynn........I can feel the anxiety oozing out of your post.

TW, that episode with the cat must have been so upsetting, but there for the grace of the gods go many of us - I have no doubt that if Jimmi catches one of the cats that come in our garden, that will be the end of the cat. As you say, there is very little we can do about it, other than muzzle our dogs whenever they are let out and I really don't see why we should have to do that. In the summer when the door is always open it's not an option anyway. Cariad was sooo good to leave when asked, but with the best will in the world she could not be expected to just sit there when the cat headed straight for her.

Evening Sally and thanks for the bottle.

Oh Lynn, I am sorry and there was me thinking you had the evening and night together before Gorden went. This foreign travel has been one cock-up after another for you both. ((hugs)) Just think, the sooner all this travelling starts the sooner the time will pass and he'll be back .... with lots of dosh

Can you get him to sleep with his leg propped up on pillows to keep the swelling to a minimum. My OH did when he was in plaster after a motorbike accident and cracked his femur, snapped his cruciate and damaged his knee. You are being a saint and I hope when he is 'fixed' he'll give you a nice treat as a thank you for being his Florence Nightingale .... well you can but dream!

June - that episode with the cat and Cariad must have been horrendous for you and the owner Cats aren't too bright. As a child we as a family always had two cats and a dog. One of our cats who we all adored was killed by the Chow next door but unfortunately in our garden - had it been in their garden it would have been easier to accept.
I agree that Helena's neighbours cat is living on borrowed time if it keeps going into their garden.

I've got a few things I want to get done tonight as I will love you and leave you all.

Sleep well and thanks again for the drink Sally.

Jenny I always seem to miss you!!! Hello and goodnight anyway

I've got my own magic bottle out. Haven't done any more packing but did go down to the new apartment again and spoke with the tenant I am renting my current one out to to find out what he needs me to leave here for him.

I am blerdy devastated that my huge big heavy wonderfully comfy bed will not fit easily into either of the bedrooms in the 2bed flat. It was the one thing I was determined to take with me and I even got another double bed in for the tenant here (in fact am sleeping on 2 mattresses at the mo coz nowhere to store it)

I knew my bedroom here was a big one but had never measured it. No wonder I didn't realise how much floor space my bed takes up - bedroom is 18ft long.

I could get it into the larger of the 2 (just with hardly room for anything other than bedside cabinets) but it was the other bedroom I wanted it in as it is an inner room so warmer in winter and has its own nice covered verandah. You are always a bit restricted about where you place the bed here as all bedrooms have wall to wall and floor to ceiling wardrobes covering one whole wall and then usually enormous sliding verandah doors on another (and of course the door to the room on another!) In the new flat the bigger room has windows on 2 walls and wardrobes on another so not much scope for choosing where the bed goes there either.

Dagnammit.

Oh No could you maybe put your bed in one room and use the other bedroom as a dressing room sort of thing
