Oh fluffykins!! Sad

Minimammoth · 11/04/2013 20:55

I know, she has been on the steroids for over a week now and is just obsessed with food, will not touch it with the painkiller mixed in though. She can't put her foot down at all. It's so sad.
They want to scan her belly again tomorrow. Her gorgeous cream fluffy tummy Sad

themidwife · 11/04/2013 21:33

Awwwww - I love my beautiful Spidercat soooo much too. He's black & sleek & handsome with gorgeous green eyes. I'd be devastated if he was ill like that Mini Sad

Minimammoth · 11/04/2013 21:44

Have completely run out of steam. Need to sleep. Night night.

themidwife · 11/04/2013 21:48

jynier · 11/04/2013 23:02

Crap cafe

jynier · 11/04/2013 23:34

Ring noise nuisance number; should be easy to find!

starsandunicorns · 12/04/2013 00:00

They shut shop now thankgoodness they keep applying for it to be a late night takeway shop in the eveing but so far have been stopped think counicel donesnt want one as we have three in walking distance. Plus the counicl have spent load of money over the years to drag this area out of the gutter. Shame the florist didnt buy it

cafecito · 12/04/2013 00:17

mini sorry about fluffycat Sad hoping all will be well soon

Thanks for messages. Loving 'wavy therapy skills' I am seeing my counsellor tomorrow, long overdue Grin

I have just got home. Had to do first aid at the major train station I live near -not cryptic enough, have already outed self ten times over- some drunken girl.. eurgh

I however had a nice evening, was at an emergency med thing and award ceremony and the got dragged for drinks in the awful bar afterwards, and completely refocused on my purpose. even if I have a criminal record Hmm I shall carry on and be a nonpracticing debarred struck off doctor!

Grin

yeah I feel better now. He has also gone to a mutual friend lying (the one I work for sometimes) the mutual friend challenged him, he threw a strop, but she is at least a witness to his 'vengeful' behaviour

He's trying to demand money off me by Monday (LOTS of money) to withdraw his malicious allegations. I don't have lots of money. I am half thinking, I should give him money, to make him go away, but then half of me thinks, no, he's not legally right to do this anyway, would it even stop him, and maybe I should press on and let him take it further with police because I am certainly no criminal. He doesn't need the money, he has hundreds of thousands tucked away. I need the money, I am a student- and I have DS.

[argh]

Nearly did a library all nighter buut got dragged to the train station by someone and reluctantly got on the train. Probably a good thing, but I wanted to focus on some work as I need to catch up. Not sure I'll be able to sleep (and I'm the kind of person who never does any work at home)

cafecito · 12/04/2013 00:21

loving kitty and the MaxMara Grin yeah I was trying to set the scene.. don't think the shoes were lk Bennett.. only bloch pumps Blush but the ipad sticking out of the naice bag, and the lost and horrified expression on my face didn't help the overall safety factor

jynier · 12/04/2013 00:35

Off to bed soon cafe as need to be up early tomorrow; my darling son is visiting!

Am a little confused by your posts recently; sorry!

cafecito · 12/04/2013 00:40

Grin don't worry jynier I am confused too. My crazy ex is making things up and trying to maliciously frame me because he has nothing else to do than plot my destruction. It's just another cherry on the busy pie of trying to do degrees and placements and assignment deadlines and so forth. I'm not mad honest Grin but the situation is distinctly bonkers. he is a caricature narcissistic lunatic and joining all the dots makes me feel like I've been swallowed up by a script to a really sick soap pliot

on a lighter note, over in chat, there is mention of sootikins

cafecito · 12/04/2013 00:41

plot not pliot Hmm

oooh enjoy tomorrow jynier!! is this DS with the GS? (sorry if that's wrong) or is this DS who lives in London? Is he coming to Camberwick?

cafecito · 12/04/2013 00:42

anyway do not answer - go to bed! get sleep! and have a lovely lovely day Smile

jynier · 12/04/2013 01:38

cafe - Why are you even bothering with the crazy man???

Yes, DS is leaving SE London to visit Camberwick Green. He is actually babysitting because we are all (extended family, et al) off to see my DD2 in a show! My GC are so excited; they adore their uncle!

BlueyDragon · 12/04/2013 04:39

Please don't pay him anything, cafe. I can totally understand why you might be tempted, to make him go away, but you know he won't and what he's doing is so horribly wrong. I'd be tempted to report him to the police myself if I were in your shoes, either for blackmail or harassment neither of which would do his professional career any good either but again I can understand why you might not want to as it keeps you tied together in a way and revenge isn't good motivation, however tempting. Sorry for interfering, but I'm so outraged at the very idea of what he's suggesting. I hope your counsellor helps. The way you keep going and the things you get done are amazing, don't let him get in the way of that ever.

Poor minicat and poor mini.

But yay for jynier's family expedition - what show is it? I love big family trips like that, even though they are exhausting.

Hmmmm, after a few good nights' sleep one of which may have been alcohol induced after seeing two work friends for a quick drink and then a load more friends at a birthday party and forgetting to eat the insomnia is back so I'm lying in bed listening to the torrential rain. There's no rhyme or reason to this sleeplessness, just brain fizz.

Minimammoth · 12/04/2013 08:21

Cafe I agree with Bluey it is blackmail, the rotter!
Got an uppy downy day ahead, catSad but DD2 may be coming for the weekend with GC if she can leave work early.Smile
Got a bit of lumpiness going on, going to ignore it. Ha.
Hope brain fizzing stops soon Bluey.

MrsShrek3 · 12/04/2013 15:07

just passing through - am a bit Shock Take no shit cafe.

starsandunicorns · 12/04/2013 21:58

Waves to all how was everyones day
Mine was good apart from next door blasting crappy music. However had lamb shank veg and mash for tea and currently waiting for the raspberry pavolu to deforst i know it says it serves 6 but really it serves 1 ... me Grin

Dp has a choclate cheesecake deforsting as he doesn't like my dessert

themidwife · 12/04/2013 22:20

Hi Stars! I have a night to myself to finally catch up on a really shit week's sleep! DDs at Daddy's, nocturnal DS1 at mates & then back to Uni Sunday, DS in prison Sad, Spidercat hiding behind curtain waiting for the lamp to go off so he can sneak into bed with me. Hair tomorrow, dinner with friends in the big bad city & then a lie in Sunday. Me time Smile

MrsShrek3 · 12/04/2013 22:31

(probably the last to see) love the NC midwifeGrin
Envy me time whats that but Sad ds prison... rest of it sounds like you can have a lovely break from RL, mw.

MrsShrek3 · 12/04/2013 22:34

pmsl at stars having 5 more peoples pavlova. I always think they are unrealistic about how many people you should serve on one weeny dessert. I make most stuff here, a baking session is always 50+ fairy cakes or a mahoosive batch of biscuits or meringues, then you have to eat anyhing that breaks Grin Grin
