Lana, I searched Pets At Home online and nothing came up for protein rinse. I wonder if this sort of thing might be worth me trying it though?

Lana I'm not surprised you miss Cap'n. To be honest, I still get a jolt every time I see the thread title tbh, and I never even met the ginger fluffball. You could see his character and the love between you two though.

Prince looks and sounds gorgeous. Have you ever told us his story?

Have a gratuitous photo of Walter slumbering on me.

Very blurry photo! Apologies!

Supersimkin2 · 24/07/2022 21:39

Gorgeous coaster😎

paper, pm
me your address and I’ll post mine to you cos I can’t find it on their website and it’s fab.

Papergirl1968 · 24/07/2022 22:58

I 've sent you a PM asking for a pic of it, Lana, but you hang on to that one.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 26/07/2022 10:30

Our bathroom revamp has drastically run over schedule due to the builder being unwell. I've had a week of "I'll be round at (time)" followed by "still not well, other builder will be round", stuff not turning up so limited work being done each day.

I've arrange for them to come back on Thursday so I've got a couple of "days off" and I can get stuff done.

Leroy is as happy as a pig in clean surroundings 'cause he can snooze quietly on the bed again 😁

Supersimkin2 · 26/07/2022 10:40

It’s good to know the builders have Leroy’s snack ‘n’ nap timetable at the forefront of their planning.

Prince tipped his face back & purred with his mouth open when I did the head rub this am. Then he bit me and furiously washed his face cos he macho.

Think Morticia wants a change as she's packaged herself up for posting 🤣🤣

Ollie was having what looked like a bad dream. I stroked him, gently shook him, blew on his face, nothing
Ollie 10 seconds later wide awake "sorry mama, you wanted me?"

@HouseofHolbein I'll pm you my address Grin

Prince has burst out of his new specially commissioned collar. Getting a little bit bigger, bless him.

I’m still positive for flippin covid and getting AGAIL delivered from the Chinese takeaway.

This pic looks like it crawled out of the Wayfair catalogue five years ago. At what called any shot with headgear in it The Dead Hand of the Stylist.

That is NotMyHat.

Supersimkin2 · 28/07/2022 18:04

Oh god it is my hat 😝 thought it was NDNs - we rescued that plant from the bins last night.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 28/07/2022 18:34

Never deny a good hat 😁

My bathroom's still not finished... 🤦🏼‍♀️

Supersimkin2 · 29/07/2022 10:38

What a nightmare Yes. And a delay from so-called cat lovers!! Has Leroy spoken to them? If it was him mewing for brekker you can bet it would have been served on the dot.

I used to do interiors shoots - basikerly, you get let into a dodgy ‘oligarch’’s house in South Ken by the trained-assassin-butler - and the one no-no of all time was a straw hat. People put them in to outside shots to add light to green spaces and make empty furniture look less tragic but they scream fakery.

If you want to add light (you do) put in some pale green glasses and a jug. Or pee in a wine glass and stick a bottle saying Soave next to it.

I used to lure the owners’ exquisitely groomed but grumpy Persians into shot. 😎

YesItsMeIDontCare · 29/07/2022 12:04

Unfortunately Leroy is loving the cardboard boxes that are now in the garden. The collection is expanding and he couldn't be happier. They'll be taken when they finish and poor Ro will be bereft 🤦🏼‍♀️

YetAnotherSpartacus · 29/07/2022 15:05

Lana, I eagerly await your autobiography.

Brilliant 🤣.

Supersimkin2 · 29/07/2022 15:19

No no for poor Ro ro! Can’t he keep his favourite?

I can tell you which one it is - the huge mouldy box, in which the builders transported kit from their last job, labelled BIG JOHN BARIATRIC TOILET SEAT. Suspiciously damp, whiffy.

Mr C stood by the rubbish and mewed with rage if I dared bin anything bigger than an aspirin packet.

Fluffycloudland77 · 29/07/2022 16:03

There’s me thinking photo shoots would be boring.

Am also awaiting autobiography.

YesItsMeIDontCare · 29/07/2022 18:20

Leroy has his favourite 😁 Obviously it's the fucking massive shower screen one, but it's standing up in the garden and he's happy.

I'm happy because it's now finished 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

HouseofHolbein · 29/07/2022 18:27

Oh fabulous news @YesItsMeIDontCare 😊 had our bathroom done last summer and it still makes me very very happy 💕

In other news I went to the dentist this afternoon. He gave me a scale and polish 😣 and repaired a filling and changed me £122 😱 15 minutes I was in the chair 😱 feel like I've been mugged 🤣🤣

Supersimkin2 · 29/07/2022 22:53

That’s London prices, House. Ouch. But what can dentists do? Yacht berths cost a lot, especially the ones next to the vet’s fleet of pleasure cruisers.

HouseofHolbein · 30/07/2022 07:07

My dentist has 5 children and is taking them on holiday to brixham today for a week. He needs every penny he can squeeze out of people 🤣🤣

Tbh I'd rather be me than him this morning 🤣🤣

Fluffycloudland77 · 30/07/2022 08:37

Dental is the profession to go for now, sod being a dr be a dentist instead and have a work life balance. Obv do not have 5 kids because that’s just insane.
