We needed a new thread

Still quite kitten like! And dinky

Delighted to hear the The Groom is being trained.

A peaceful night, interrupted by the balcony door collapsing (builders) and me bolting it back together with a teaspoon, swearily. Of course now Mr C wants to get out and the teaspoon won't budge.

There's a thread on teen scams, students who think they're criminal masterminds. This Brilliant Way to Beat the System made me cackle

'At the cinema I worked in, when staff were in watching a film, they’d fill a bag with pick n mix and get their mate to weigh a biro and just pay for that.'

I don't think we're in danger from a new generation of Moriartys

Every generation thinks it has 'invented' a new scam. It's always an old scam in different clothes, though.

Couldn't agree more. Still giggling at the friend loyally and painstakingly placing a pen on the scales, alight with own deviousness and the thought of a free lemon sherbert C

I had a lesson in cooking steak off my hairdresser. He cooks it the way I learnt 18 years ago which is apparently a totally new way of cooking it and the only correct way ie his mum cooks it differently.

Then I had a lecture on living within my means off a relative. I’m part Scot, I’m very frugal, Not quite sure why anyone would think otherwise it’s not like I’m eating out, getting takeaways and buying coffees like some people do.

God how irritating. My great-aunts specialised in this - screaming at me once for throwing the outside lettuce leaf away when it could have been 'soup for six' - and further disgraced themselves by leaving my millionaire cousin six figures and us to pay the funeral. He didn't bother going, so that was one less buffet to pay for, we consoled ourselves.

Was it MIL Fluffy

Ha ha, no.

More than irritating, now I think about it. It's often the worst kind of rude - spite/prying dressed up as concern. I've never known anyone do it whose only money came from honest toil, either.

(DM got the money for the wake back two years later, to be fair, from the solicitors.)

Have a refreshing poundland coffee while you send asbo round. Natural Justice, innit.

O is on my chest having his bum patted
Imagine winding a baby, like that. Strange, strange cat. He pats my hand if I stop

Oh I saw the neighbour today, the one I donated the banana to. She gave me face and said "all the cats now live on our front garden with that banana and if it goes missing then Whisky (ancient cat) goes to find it and carries it back home like a dog. He's never done that before"

Brilliant

Mr C has banana drama every day, twice, then comes back to kip on me. How tiny PB?

Sunbathed all day. Exhausted kitty

Banana doesn't even figure compared to Mousie, I fear.

There's a red Yeooow heart as well C.

Day of exceptional, pure glory here - cobalt sky, birds singing their hearts out, trees in blossom wafting in the warm breeze. Woken to sweet music of gruesome retching.

It's fine, he's being vetted anyway and I think it's his pills. Better go and find it.

O slept on the floor beside my bed last night. He doesn't like my new blanket

Better get shot of that blanket then :)

He could have slept on the sofa, his chair or in his sheepskin bed but nope, on the floor. Or even on the end of my bed which was just duvet

Silent Protest.

I believe he's Making A Point about the blanket coming between you. Literally.

He's making a point now, refused to jump in the window and followed my neighbour in who went "awww look, he's crying"
Just. Jump. In. The. Bloody. Window

So sad. Have to lie on living room floor. Need me a nice human

The very picture of stoic grief

He's asking for food.

We've just had yellow-sticker tuna pate. I have to spread the cracker and hold it down for Mr C. And has a nibble of a second, plain cracker. All hell breaks loose if I don't give him the knife to lick by way of pudding.

I've just trotted down to pets at home like a good cat owner to get more food for the poor starving kitty. Also some for the kittens as bribery for Binge
