I know we mentioned having a "chat" thread as well, do you still fancy one or not ? I'd like to be on the original thread as well.

Lynne

Im OK, still worried about her as she keeps coughing up all the mucous from her lungs. Poor thing. Hope she will feel better on the inhalers xx

lynneclynne · 08/11/2006 19:25

Aw Edie, your poor wee cat! Sorry, i cant help you with this one as none of our cats have been ill in any way. I hope she is ok. What age is she? They are a worry aren't they? If one of ours isnt on the doorstep in the mornings i shout like some sort of mad woman until they appearthey are just like kids!!! Hope she gets better soon.
Hope you are ok too.xxx

Forgot to say, i got my x ray results back and everything was normal

So now i dont know where to go from here as im still in pain when i walk, im wondering if the optician was right, do i have arthritus?? Or would arthritus show on an xray???Not too sure, as i have had some pain in my hands and knee, so need to wait and ask gp.
Hope you are both well! xxx

Edie
Sorry to hear about your poor cat-glad o know that you two worry about your cats as much as me-I hate firework night on my cats behalf as they are terrified, I spent 1 hour on and off calling and worrying about my cat at the weekend as she'd disappeared, then found her under the bed, I though it was strange that her brother wasn't worried, they usually pace up and down if one is missing! How do you get a cat to take an inhaler? (or is that a stupid question?)
Lynne have you tried the homeopathic remedy Rhus Tox, I think that is supposed to help with pain like that. Sorry to hear you still aren't right.
Still go planning to do for work, so I'd better go

This weekend my girl cat (the one I thought was missing) ran around the lounge with her ears back, finally hiding under a table where it was dark-she's about 12 years old, I haven't seen her that bad before! Poor thing.

Im beside myself with worry. She is very precious to me (her name is Edie!!) Well its Eden but Edie for short. She is stunning, grey, small and long hair. Very pretty. And very affectionate.

I have just blitzed the house in the hope that this will help her-trying to get rid of dust etc. Also got rid of air freshners and im going to buy an air purifier too.

Sorry about the pain Lynne xxxxxxxxxxx

Hi girls! how are you both today?
hope your wee cat is better edie (pour wee soul) our 3 three cats are so different Murray is so layed back u could swing him about the room and he would not bother Pasha his sister likes to be on her own most times although always annoys her broth when hes asleep and taz is the pest!! he just loves me and ds as he was ours before i met dh, taz just cries and cries if hes not getting all the attention.Murray and Pasha are tortoise in colour and taz is all black. I wasnt really a cat lover till prev dh bought me taz to keep me company whilst he was in hospital then when i moved in with my dh in our new house we took Murray and Pasha from some friends who couldnt look after them due to their career change(well dh took them one week before we started going out) and taz was not amused he still batters them when he can (when im not looking)but i would be lost without them. I speak to them as if they are kids!!I must be mad!!

Jossie hope all is going well with yourself not long till your xmas break!

Edie, what holidays will you get with your work during the xmas period??
Well girls, i'll catch up with later xxx

Jossie · 09/11/2006 22:56

As we are sharing cat passions-I originally had a cat (ginger tom) that I adopted from my Granparents when they moved, he lived until he was 20, at the age of 17 he had to cope with the indignity of us adopting a brother and sister cat, she's B&W long hair, he is silver tabby-a friend was having to rehome them, we decided that we couldn't have them as we lived in a v.small flat, so took them to animal rescue place, with the tabby hiding behind his sister in the basket. On the journey home, we were both quiet, decide then that we couldn't risk them being split up, so the following morning DH went back, had to be interviewed as to why we wanted them as we had brought them in the previous night and then had to pay for them!! /how insane are we? Luckily DH as is as soppy about animals as me, the only time I've seen him cry is when our first cat had to be put to sleep.

I finish work on 19th Dec, have offered to have my friend's two children on 21st and 22nd, in the hope that although they will all be excited about Christmas, they will all amuse each other (that's the plan, but we'll see).
4 more days to my appt with consultant (Monday evening, DH wants to talk about what we are hoping will happen / What our hopes are, but can't talk until tomorrow night as he is on night shift. (immediately I'm woried about what he is thinking, hoping it is along the same lines as me!!!)
At the moment, I can't think that anything will make me want to not TTC, but I'm really nervous about what the outcome of the tests will be, including being worried if the tests haven't shown anything (sounds mad I know)
Anyway enough dwelling on that-have a good day tomorrow

edie123 · 10/11/2006 20:54

Yes Lynne it was a wind up

Is RM reliable when it comes to giving you back the money you have spent on items that you have had to buy for an assignment?? I guess they are as they have been reliable so far...

edie123 · 11/11/2006 11:08

Lynne, are you around? Got a question about RM...

lynneclynne · 11/11/2006 14:33

Edie, i am now, though it may too late.

edie123 · 11/11/2006 16:08

edie123 · 11/11/2006 17:32

edie123 · 12/11/2006 22:05

My weekend has been pretty dull. Back at work on Tuesday-feels like I have been off for ages, its so nice when I get lots of days off together.

Got to take E to vet tomorrow to discuss treatment. People are being so helpful on the Pets section.

Hope I get paid soon from RM people...money would be so handy for Xmas pressies/vet stuff...

Josie-good luck tomorrow evening honey-did you and DH have the chat? How did it go?

Jossie · 12/11/2006 22:49

Hiya,
Sorry not been on before, had a busy W/E-had a concert and PIL stayed last night!
Yes tomorrow night is the night for the consutant-I'm getting nervous.
Chat with DH was a bit of a non event, I shouldn't have got woried, basically he is worried about my mental state if we do try again, but equally worried if we don't try again!! but will support my decision either way!!
Are you all sorted out abou your cat now Edie?
You two are getting me panicky about my Chrismas shopping-I have 1 present purchased and that is it!!
Will update you tomorrow night / Tuesday about how it all goes (appt is at 6.30pm)
Best wishes-Edie are you tired out yet (Lynne see TTC thread!!)

I find it very strange, and appealing, a bit too, that there is a xmas meet up. How strange would it be? I guess people would have to wear name badges otherwise you wouldn't know who they were!!!

edie123 · 13/11/2006 13:52

Good luck for tonight Josie

lynneclynne · 13/11/2006 15:42

Jossie, just to let you know my thoughts are with you and dh for this evening. xxx

Edie, know what you mean about the meet up! I wish us three lived closer to each other so we could have one. What are you buying dp for his xmas??

Im struggling to find dh something, what do you buy someone that has everything???

Jossie what are the boys getting for xmas?

Ds wants an electric keyboard i hope that comes with headphones

What about you girls, what would you both like for xmas? I never really ask for anything(im always happy with what i have) Its my birthday soon and dh is asking what i would like, but i dont know

Well girls i'll go for now, jossie hope all goes well for you, edie rm will pay out on the last week day of this month(sure they send you an email first) they have never let me down. xxx

edie123 · 13/11/2006 17:10

Im sure that we will have to meet up one day if we carry on like this!

DP wants an ipod-I have one and I love it. Going to get him a nano for about £99. I don't know what I want really...have done my shopping for friends and family though.

Can't wait to get the RM pay, and to be refunded for the clothes that I had to buy.
