We stayed up watching Sherlock and now I'm wide awake. I'm unimpressed! 😂

At least we finally made it to thread 2...I doubt we will do as many this year!

Hi folks bit of a grey day here. Just managed to throw a whole tin of tuna juice down myself and my son says I smell like a peasant, I suspect he isn't far wrong.

Oh no why! WreckCat would love you

I've got a TOIL day today. I went out to b&m, Sainsbury's Tesco and M&S food (against lockdown no doubt as so far away) to try and cheer myself up a bit. Didn't really work but did buy myself some daffodils.

Ds didn't want to go to school today, but I think he was just nervous.

Oh dear why. I don't eat fish so that smell makes me 🤢

Wreck have the daffs cheered you up at least?

I think I've reached my limit with this lockdown. I'm fed up of not seeing anyone or doing anything. Although we've kept an 'extended bubble' between my parents, dsis and I, we haven't actually seen each other in ages so we're going to meet up with week.

Saying that, I have a very exciting day today - my blinds were fitted this morning and I'm going to give blood in around an hour. I've never been so excited to be poked with a needle! 😂

why do you want me to send my cats round? They'd lick you till you tickle😹, and purr their hearts out for tuna juice they would be a bit grumpy if WreckCat got there first 😂 and probably run and hide.
DH has washed the cars and the garage door. I managed to get a crushed hand from a falling loo seat it's puffy, but my fingers still work so it can't be broken, but it's really swollen and black.
Good news though. I had a text about CV vaccination and DH had a letter...due to the way these things work, mine is on Friday morning and DH has to phone back tomorrow as they're all booked up 🤔🤦🏻‍♀️
Wreck we're doing Sains tomorrow and B&M on Wed, have they any gardening stuff in? DH needs a new nozzle for his hose 😳😂😂 Hope DS is ok - extra cuddles and feeding dreamies to WreckCat shoudl work 🤞🏻

Puss they did but I didn't really look down those aisles

Stockings your cats would be very welcome at least someone would appreciate the aroma.

My cats must be on MN, or they're mind readers...they have been sitting by the "tuna cupboard" and crying "we're ever sooo hungry mummeeeeeowww" in the kitchen so eventually I gave in and let them share a tin - now I smell of tuna juice too 🤷🏻‍♀️
Wreck I'll send DH down those aisles for a forage while I buy food and drink
Pics of my bulbs, I really need to clean the patio. 😳

This thread is making me want bulbs... and cats.

How go for it.
Here's one of Charlie 😹

Hmmmm, eau de tuna; the favourite scent of discerning cats!

Loving the Charlie photo. 🐱

Crazy, giving blood is like going out out these days. Another adult to speak to plus a drink and snack! 😂

Can you tell that he's a nosey little 🐈?
😂

Aw, Charlie is gorgeous (the bit of him I can see )

If we're showing Cat Photos then......

Cracks Knuckles :

Little boy cat (very shy) not long after he arrived , stretching forward
Little girl cat ( very un-shy) locked in DS room for 20 seconds doing a Heeeeeere's Johnny on Hallowe'en Night )

And I have daffodils just thinking about flowering .

70 sweeties. I've a pic of Tilly in your LBCs position - nosey but a bit frightened.
I love the way LGC is showing you her teeth

Morning all. How are we doing this morning? Send the cats to me. I have 12 tins of tuna in the cupboard!

Morning!

We have slightly more tuna than that Brexit stockpile and the kids would love a few cats showing up! 😂😂

Sainsbury's is coming between 8-9. That's today's excitement!

I've got a course to do via teams for the next three days. Irrelevant to my role but I have to do it 😴 at least the sun is shining.

Morning :)

Here are my bulbs and cats :)

DS goes back to school today so it is a stitching day!

Sainsburys arriving at 12 for me.

Morning.
We seem to have 2 resident cats (both mostly white and fluffy, one with a black stripe and one with a brown face) who wander through our garden each day. Ddog chased them away once or twice but so they now sit on the wall and watch him then run through when he's at the other end 🙄

Wreck I had a training session and meeting combined on Teams last week that lasted 6 hours (with a break) and I was exhausted after it so you have my sympathy.

Fluffy I think I spoke to more people yesterday (face to face) while giving blood than I have in months. Both DH and I commented that it felt like an exciting day 😂

Lots of work to do today. DH is going in to school even though his class isn't back as he works better when not at home and I think he needs to get out. Good news for me as the house will be nice and quiet - he has to have noise around him no matter what he's doing and it drives me a bit mad.

Went for a quick mental health walk in our very short lunch break. Should not have worn a coat 🥵

Morning!

Apparently it's going to rain all day here, after starting at about 4pm yesterday. It started sunny and windy, but definitely wasn't warm, Wreck! The day before was though.

Crazy, isn't it nice being home alone?! 🤣

It is Fluffy. DH is going in to school again today as it's 'virtual' parents evening and I'm
Looking forward to getting rid of him 😂
I don't do anything exciting - just have what I want on tv - Or have complete peace and I am more productive without his distractions

It's grey and rainy here too and will likely stay that way all day. Nice when I'm inside - crap for walking the dog!

Afternoon everyone. Quite a sunshiny but breezy day here. Trying to do work related course atm but doggie has sore tummy have visited vet. Love your bulbs and cats pics.

Sunshine?? Dunno what that is! It's been as grey as a badly washed PE kit all day.
Marshmallow poor doggie - I hope he's not wearing the lampshade of shame.
I'm going to order some seeds from Premier tomorrow, so fluffy I need to pick your brains - at the mo, there's dwarf beans & toms, spring onions, chanteney carrots, sunflowers, cosmos and cornflowers I might need a bigger garden DH is calling at wilko tomorrow for some small fibre pots for the beans/toms. Thoughts?

Other than suggesting I need a greenhouse, obvs although when the picnic bench dies, that's what will replace it
