jen safe journey home and hope you feel better soon.

I'm back at the vets this morning as one of my cats is very poorly he had to be on a drip yesterday :( cat fight we think. Then this afternoon a trip to London for an afternoon tea at the Waldolf. It was one of those Groupon offers. DH and I, then a little mouch about. We always try to do something a bit special as I miss my mum so much and can't stand Mother's Day!!

DS is going shopping with his friend, who Apparatly is still not his girlfriend ! To buy Mother's Day gifts...

icemist we should all have CJ on emergency call outs for back massage!

Caught up on the ff -a feel treat for a sat morning.

pixie just love the way you write them as a couple. I suppose you do have the real CJ with you advising you though...

nipper really enjoying seeing them attracted to one another despite themselves.

loving what a lovely ending - thanks!

icemist hope you feel better soon. I did my back in once and was stranded lying on my daughter's bedroom floor. Had to be left there while everyone had dinner! I could hear their laughter...

Oh have a fab time richtea this afternoon. And big hugs to your cat. Is he insured? I always have to brace myself for vet bills.

woof really we should have a screen shot of the 'help me' cos it's the painful, barely legible scrawl that pulls at the heart strings.

Morning ladies. To paraphrase CJ "I need a female volunteer". As you will probably know I am not the world's best FF reader as it tends to confuddle may brain and distract me from my own ideas. Having written the first chapters of three different stories I think there's one I'd like to continue with but I don't want to write something that someone else has already done. I have read through the summaries of all 200+ stories on the site but I am still worried in case I've missed something. Would one of you well-read ladies be prepared to read a brief scenario in a PM? I have to go out to work now but will pop back in this afternoon to see if anyone's willing. Thanks everyone!

More than happy Rhubarb. Whizz it over when you are ready.

I can rhubarb do you want a few of us to read it to make sure?

ice I trapped a nerve on my neck once and was miserable for weeks so I feel for you.

Richtea it sounds as if the vet bill will be high. Pets can be nearly as worrying as children and there's no NHS for animals either! I know what you mean about Mother's Day. It highlights how much you miss them. Am with you on that. Enjoy your tea. XX

PS: cjwoof I think a scrawl of 'Help me!!' plus one of cherin's fab drawings of a terrified stag CJ would say more than a thousand words!

ilove my mum kept all the mother's day cards I made/sent her and when she died I found them all, together with the bday cards,letters from uni etc. Being a hoarder, I've kept all the cards and letters she sent me and my daughter has a couple of the gorgeous handmade ones on her pin board.

orphan how lovely to have all those cards as memories.

Humph! And I was going to write my diary entry as though CJ absolutely adored me, which he does by the way. Don't know where you get the impression I'm some kind of man eater of young men in combats...

richtea I think that's one of the benefits of having grown up pre mobile phones/email etc. Once I'd gone to uni, we had to communicate via letter and cards. Mum wrote me lovely, funny letters and I only wish I'd been a bit more frequent with my replies! She also sent handmade cards just for silly made up occasions like Happy Weekend.

woof now,now, I don't think you're as narrow in your tastes as you imply. I'd hate anyone to think you're a fussy eater cougar. It's not just combats, but scarred cockerpoos and audible crack sufferers.

Sorry orph meant to cross out the "in combats" part

...and the "young" could also be removed at a push

So long as we're talking about Crixus not PG

woof I'd be interested to know where you draw the line... Oh yes, I've remembered - crocheted bed jacket wearing, pipe smoking, moustached, immaculately groomed men and those with massive man boobs clutching their pups.

No camping for us this time Nickel, the idea of being out in the bush with DS who has a habit of wandering is enough to turn my hair grey(er).

Today we fed these

pixie am so envious of you! Please tell me that was some sort of reserve and not a pic of your own verandah!

Yes, it's a giraffe sanctuary orphan. Although for a small fortune you can stay somewhere called Giraffe Manor and the giraffes poke their heads through your bedroom window in the morning.

pixie so brilliant! how amazing, do they have very long tongues?

Back from the vets with more antibots and fluid. He is looking a lot more perky, bank balance isn't though!

About to leave for london, so will obviously keep eyes open for any BA sightings

richtea try not to get too carried away when you see the cream tea. Remember the Waldorf expects a certain standard of behaviour! Glad your cat is perkier.

Yes they do richtea, long and grey/black

Yes orph those ones will never do

Just watched this weeks Reign, looks like it was BA's last epsiode.
