Some men are so grim.

Allergictoironing · 12/07/2022 21:09

Meh, initial experience didn't upset me, just made me angry that someone did it at that time & place - on a weekday there would have been kids there, and what if there'd been a sexual assault victim who had seen it. I get very protective of my town too, it has a much worse rep than it deserves and things like that don't help.

Only going to be 50:50 whether he gets convicted when they do finally get round to it, as the other 2 witnesses have withdrawn their statements and I managed to turn away just before he got it right out and the cctv wasn't working (no surprise there) so my word against his.

Girlcat has made it all OK though by stretching out along the back of the sofa by me and having her belly stroked for the last hour. Sooo soft and silky 😍

Oh he was so drunk he couldn't remember a thing the next day when he woke up, which is why he's pleaded not guilty (sigh). And he was "only" trying to show me the effect I was having on him! TBH a short, fat middle aged woman bundled up against the cold in a mahoosive coat, scarf and face mask (middle of Lockdown 2) and he must have been drunk! Especially when he kept on about my lovely smile - which was behind the plain black Council logoed mask!

oh well that’s ok then, if he was drunk! They just make it up as they go along.

"I did it because I fancied you but I was drunk so I didn't do it."

Riiiiighhhht then 🙄

Eww Allergic the She Made Me Do It Mlud - sure to work.

Ghastly little scrote. As his fellow inmates should agree.

Prince had a screaming fight with Ginger And White Bastard at 6 am . I broke it up and sprained my wrist. Prince bit me unnervingly hard too. We went back to sleep with no hard feelings, however.

Havelock came in with ginger and white fur in his teeth at 7am.

Everyone very proud of each other.

And they (men) bloody get away with it.

Allergictoironing · 13/07/2022 10:55

I don't care any more - got the start date for my new job just now 😎🍾

Cats will HATE me going back to work!

I’m off to the emergency clinic cos my arm’s gone a funny colour.

Supersimkin2 · 13/07/2022 12:16

Stealth catting.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 13/07/2022 15:24

Any update on the funny coloured arm Super?

Whats the new job Allergic? When d'you start?

Allergictoironing · 13/07/2022 16:53

Admin team leader for the county Enablement at Home team, helping people to stay in their own homes after hospital stays or illnesses etc. Short term support teams helping people to do their own daily tasks & activities. Desk based for me, fantastic people to work with, a field where I am helping those in need in the community, and I will have staff again. Perfect!

How's the arm Lana? You didn't say exactly what funny colour it had gone e.g. puce, white, green.....

fuchsia pink with yellow highlights. Tetanus shot and abs.

Prince has not bitten me today.

Fluffycloudland77 · 14/07/2022 06:54

How is your arm today?

Prince probably doesn't want to catch whatever it is! It probably tastes a bit icky as well.

Did the doc suggest any possible cause?

How are you @Supersimkin2?

The idiot sisters are loving the garden. They don't go far and actually spend a lot of time in the house. It's lovely to have the doors open to let the air in 😊

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/07/2022 08:50

Many congrats on the new job Allergic, sounds really good. I also hope your arm is returning to a normal colour Super.

At the risk of providing TMI, I'm not wearing a great deal in bed at the moment due to the heat. Bloody Karl sat on my back this morning and decided it would be completely hilarious to pace on my bare arse. 🙀 Idiot cat...

YesItsMeIDontCare · 14/07/2022 09:14

Leroy has just given me a cuddle! It is finally cool enough! I've missed having him purring in my face and dribbling on to his own paws.

I don't think it's Karl that's the idiot though Grumpy - you've got enough cats to know any bare flesh is fair game 😂

Grumpyoldpersonwithcats · 14/07/2022 09:41

You raise a valid point 🤣

Supersimkin2 · 14/07/2022 10:24

Cat bite is the cause of dodgy arm. Prince has ‘zest for life’ as Fluffy’S DH might put it.

Prince has nabbed the bed.

NDN traumatised cos she trod on Havelock last evening. She can’t see him in the dark cos he dark and fluffy like a shadow. Apologies made and they came out for some cool night air. Prince went up to say hello, fell off a pillar and landed on Havelock. Not his night.

Me and Havelock steering clear of everyone and making our way towards sofa.

Could be worse... I read that as 'pee on my bare arse'. Or, it could have been TC ...

PeloAddict · 14/07/2022 10:57

Ollie is skipping about, wet again all over his face and back. I have no idea why as the neighbours water feature is broken

OrangeBlossom28 · 14/07/2022 16:47

@PeloAddict Oh no! Is it completely broken?!

PeloAddict · 14/07/2022 17:06

OrangeBlossom28 · 14/07/2022 16:47

@PeloAddict Oh no! Is it completely broken?!

I'm not sure! It's empty and they've moved it

Fluffycloudland77 · 14/07/2022 21:19

Congratulations @Allergictoironing. Worthwhile work but the cats will disagree with us there.

Mil has been here eating yoghurt and as I can’t have cows milk and dh is tube fed yoghurts are thin on the ground here but Puddy knows a foil lid when she sees one and has now got mil handing the lid over then adding more to the lid but it has to be spread out not in a dollop or she won’t eat it. Cat is now camping out in the kitchen waiting for treat lady to come back.
