The Further Adventures Of Newboy

[RubbishMantra]

I don't think anyone's begun a new thread yet?

Hope you don't mind Cozie. Newboy's Fairy God(cat)mothers love hearing about his progress.

I am a lightly stunned human, still. Well done C

In manner of Newboy hunting mice, just hovered quivering by the reduced items in M&S for some time, stalking the precious double-yellow stickers. I got two packets of chicken from 4.25 to 45p each. For Mr C. Pot of instant porridge, 20p, for self.

I knew that cat would have me on gruel sooner or later. You can tell it's vet time, can't you.

Weirdo here has taken himself off to the freezing cold bedroom. Apparently the kitchen was too warm for him
I got a strange one

You have indeed.

He loves lying against the cold outside wall
Unless he's cuddling me and then warm is acceptable

Have you got the carpet up yet? Have a stiff one, do it, then have the other half as a reward.

I recall my first bar job. This wee guy insisted that he wanted a ‘hauf and a hauf pint’. I, of course, asked him what the ‘hauf’ was to be.

The (senior) barman had to take me aside and explain.

My maiden aunts always insisted it was polite to offer the 'other half' of a drink. They're dead right - never should it be referred to as 'another' . :)

Talking of which, we've had a family crisis about deranged tribal elders. Strikes me that if you're going to go barmy in old age, getting plastered every day on expense accounts daily through the 1970s and 80s West End is the way to do it. That's the upside. The only upside.

I have relatives who take Vit b high strength complexes to try & counteract that.

I have dismissed the ti pi idea for asbo, he would wee in it. Like he did in my spray tan tent in the summer.

Bad luck Fluffy. I also suspect asbo would waz in the teepee then lock dh in it.

I’ve discovered that He becomes ......almost emotional over Dreamies Deli-Catz.(They’re soft and come in little packages.)

I bought some of those. Rejected

Well Ollie is renownedly weird.

I meant to ask. How did yesterday’s meeting go?

Telephone interview passed and got a face to face one on Thursday

Good luck then.

I'm hanging dresses up to decide which to wear while Ollie is kneading poor Hedwig pillow to death and drooling on it

Excellent news Ollivander good luck we'll be thinking of you.

Well done, massive good vibes for Thursday comin' atcha. What dress are you wearing?

The sodding vet has put Mr C off again till next week, I waited by the phone for emergency appt till 3pm as last resort but nowt. However, himself has been perfectly fine all today and eaten quite a lot in the night. Typical.

Tomorrow I am going in person to bargain with the calendar people.

Contemplating a charcoal grey Boden one. It's knee length and quite smart. I've hung it up out of reach of cat hair
Only for care work but I want to get some money coming in

Found a photo. This one. With some black t bar heels and a grey wool coat. Seems to be both my funeral and job interview attire

I’ve discovered that He becomes ......almost emotional over Dreamies Deli-Catz

So you'll be administering them only if he allows a gentle stroke, perhaps?

oooh yes. I cringe at this expression but 'a brightly-coloured accessory' might be in order - people who wear red get paid more, apparently. You'd rake it in round here, carers get 20 quid an hour for old folk, all of whom are quite nice and civilised.

I've had a rethink, dug through the collapsed wardrobe (hence the mess) and found this ensemble. Ollie appears to approve but he might just want food. I suspect I have the red version of the belt...

You look positively lovely! A winner if ever I saw one.

Obviously I will fasten the shoes properly but someone was shouting for sweeties from his bed
