Paws, Ollie, Captain V and all the rest

New thread!
I’ve found two so much more hard work (and expensive) than one, Queen

Pics, please, please please. Haribos and Skittles shall be posted by way of reward.

As of 5 min ago I have clean hands and Capn V has fresh water. The bastard builders on the site opposite won't stop work and have cut our drain in half. They're claiming they're essential workers, making another million a day for needy Korean billionaires.

How are you feeling @Papergirl1968? Is your bug-that-shall-not-be-named receding?

Glad your water is back on, for now at least.
Much better, thank you. Still a bit tired and weak, requiring an afternoon nap and a sit down after doing a small task like washing up. But a million times better than I was.

That's good news. People don't take convalescence seriously these days - you need a chaise longue, some Rhenish wine, and a slim volume of sonnets. Then lie there for days being waited on hand and foot.

Fat chance with Matt & Socks eh.

Yep, they’re eating me out of house and home. I need to venture out to a supermarket tomorrow so I can replenish stocks!

They will love you all the more for it. Don't forget the baked beans

Can you amazon prime the cat food? Paper

I’d order in. Seriously. You have a depleted immune system.

I’ve got other things I need to get including human food and prescriptions. Can’t get supermarket deliveries here for weeks...

Babe, have you looked at your local mutual aid group - they set up all over the uk this week - as there are buckets of people who will shop for you. Pharmacies deliver, by the way.

Now is the time, really, to take people up on the offer.

Thanks, I’ll look into that. I’m kind of looking forward to venturing out though. I figure I’ve probably had it so can’t catch it again.

I’m bored now too. Dh keeps asking if he can do things that involve going out while slagging the neighbours off for going out.

Check your fb for people using the #stayinside, cross reference it with people you know went to see parents over 70 on mother’s day. In 6 months time cross reference again to see who’s moaning about probate & paying council tax on their parents empty properties.

@Supersimkin2

1 hour later and they're still out. Rather adorably they've been back twice and both times Leroy has spotted me and actually run to me. I love that cat 🥰😂.

Leroy has a look of "Imma gonna head on into those bushes, and you're coming too!".

Your DS will actually look as if he's been dragged through a hedge backwards.

PM me address at once!!!

@YesItsMeIDontCare that is the BEST PHOTO IN THE WORLD EVER.

OF ALL TIME.

Well done DS, he is a knightly hero with his furry steed. Have you mentioned to DS he will be a total babe magnet as long as he keeps Leroy on as his wingman?

@Fluffycloudland77, I agree, it's not funny.

DH is adding his own brand of quirky humour to the crisis. Lock him in when it gets boring.

We were out in the garden (me and Ollie) and a motorbike came past. Poor boy slammed himself to the floor and climbed under my legs
Had to have a cuddle to recover

It’s true, girls do like a man who likes animals.

Poor Ollie. All that noise.

He's v good with traffic. Sticks to the pavement and if he sees any cars he shoots into a bush or garden
Didn't like all the noise though

Leroy sends a sympathetic nose-boop to Ollie - an ambulance had to put its sirens on right by his furry ear hole yesterday so he understands the trauma.

DS is after something - he cooked a chicken korma as well 🤔.

My two, especially Socks, get scared even in the house if a motorbike roars past

What’s broken?.

when's the new FIFA PS4 coming out.

Ah. DS doesn't want to go to his Dad's this weekend. Mystery solved.
