I went to a blood clinic yep, my own GP isn't doing bloods any more
Smear test nurse was excellent, not uncomfortable at all and we were too busy talking about oven cleaning when I had my bloods done

The NHS at its finest. 😀

We have our first mollys mice. They won't be the last. Love at first sniff for Walter. The kids are fascinated.

Ugh, smear tests. I apparently have a shy cervix. Doesn't make it an easy process.

Photo of Walter with his new love (complete with toddler toes).

Aww, he loves that doesn’t he!

Walter and the cherub are adorable. Tiny paws and toes, the sweetness.

Mine's "cute". Apparently.

Leroy currently has a thing for M&S Brussels Pâté. Smooth, obvs.

Yes because otherwise you risk having to chew.

He really does love it. Hmmm, not sure the toddler can be called a cherub. He's going to turn me grey! He adores Walt though.

A cute cervix, wow 😂

Smart move Leroy.

Ollie stinks of catnip. He's denying all knowledge of playing with it

They do smell really strong! Walter's out cold 😂

Grumpy cats

I set fire to Capn’s tail.

We were having a lie in on the same pillow & I was lighting fag when he was slapping me round the chops with tail - I lit the tail.

This is his ‘pate apology accepted’ face. There will be many more acts of restitution.

Cream face.

I set fire to Capn’s tail.

I assume it was a couple of hairs singed, but I still think I'd give up smoking immediately if I did that 😱

Is he still making you suffer?

He didn’t notice.

There’s more pate coming later.

I’m haunted by the memory of pinching the frazzled furs out and the smell of cat on fire.

Leroy is happy to accept a few singed tail hairs in exchange for M&S Brussels Pâté (Smooth)

No one in the house smokes any more though, but I suspect he'll get said pâté anyway 🙄

That was one of my requirements of myself before getting cats - to pack up smoking. I cheated, I vape now - but the costs are minimal compared to fags and the effect on health the same.

I set fire to Capn’s tail.

My parents' cat (when I was a child) used to not infrequently wave her tail too close to the two bar electric fire.
She never seemed to mind but the smell of singed fur was vile...

Our matriarch cat once singed her fur on a tea light. All this animals are naturally afraid of fire isn’t true. Whoever said it never saw a Bengal walk across a gas hob 🤦🏻‍♀️

You’d think by now we’d have a flame free way of lighting fags, I’ve seen dh light them on a gas hob. He has a favourite brand of olive oil now so I’ve gentrified him a bit.

We did for years - cigarette/cigar lighters in cars. Nowadays you just get the socket but no lighter.

I’ve seen dh light them on a gas hob.

Posh. I've lit fags off 2 bar electric fires.

(I also had a cat singe his tail on one too. I think it was common in the 70s 😂)

Lana!

The very poshest lighter is the toaster I say.

Capns remarkably unscathed: he’s enjoying evermore pate and M&S ham without question.

I’ve been sacked from anti-smoking school three times. I have tried, honest.
