Haha, it'd be irreversible! It's really good actually, Animal Care pay for her to be spayed, and to have her second vaccinations done. I thought that was brilliant, especially because they only asked for a £60 'donation' for her.

Ah yes, hadn't thought of that! Shame we can't use the same logic on our kids ...! (Only joking! I wouldn't have my wonderful grandkids if I'd done that!)

She needs to be spayed first, and has to be 16 weeks old before there's a chance that can happen, although the vet said if she was still on the small side they might have to wait longer.

Posted By: KatebA story about what Red? Is it Uni work? No it's just another story I'm writing. I've written stories all my life, but the ones I finish I'm always too chicken to send them off to try and get them published! Lyle is the first ever person I've let read my stories even! If I get this one finished, I might try and get Lyle to persuade me to send it off

A story about what Red? Is it Uni work? Maybe the kids round your parts just can't read Ollie ... ! (seems none of them can spell nowadays!) Wish I'd thought of that CC - much quicker solution!

Feel like I am stalking you around the forum Kate ;) Mum says it's especially annoying because they have to go out the front door, down the outdoor steps to the bottom door, in through the kitchen to make tea and, when the food's ready, carry all the food and drinks out the bottom door, up the steps and through the front!!

Haha! She can't wait to get outside, Nelly. She sits on the windowsill and watches the trees blow in the wind, and tries to catch flies and stuff that fly past the window. She's such a changed cat now, such a brave and friendly little thing :) Her mum has finally got a new home, too, which is sweet.

I really feel for them - I think the builders do it deliberately so that you appreciate their final efforts that bit more!

I bet her personality will more than make up for it! I used to work with a lady who's cat was the size of a 4 or 5 month old kitten. Never grew any bigger. She said it was unbelievable to watch it try to drag a huge fat pigeon it had caught (that was bigger than she was) through the cat flap!

three bests: Was fab to see my parents in Settle the other day, and my dad's knees are a lot better now and he can actually walk again! Lyle's mum baked me some awesome vegan buns for when me and Lyle got back from camping :) And I typed so much of a story this evening, and think it's back on track! I got a bit of a writers' block and had to delete half a page or so, but it's there again now! Twenty-seven A4 pages long so far, so it's getting there

She is gorgeous. She's gonna be a small cat though we think; her mum was small, and compared to other kittens at Animal Care who are the same age, she is tiny!

All the small grassed verge areas on my estate have "No Ball Games" signs. They don't make much difference though. Maybe 'cos no one complains...

Thanks to Ollie I am now much more gnome-egable about gnomes. Brian hates them and I keep threatening to buy him one for Christmas.

Kate mixed families can sure be difficult, it is so hard to find balance, someone always seems to miss out.

Oh that's awful, I'm so sorry Red. You'll have to go back and do it all over again to get the photos back. (Good excuse for another camping trip!) You will have to talk about it a lot so that you can keep the memories alive.

Thanks everyone, I'm sure their worries will fade with time. I see the train of thought there Ollie. I am surprised that the midwife didn't suggest propping him on his side as an alternative, but maybe she thought keeping him in a chair would help. That is also something I was told to do when mine were babies. The old suggestions are always the best!!

It'll be fascinating to see it when you've finished it Lee. I assume it has a 'forever' home with you - can't see there being much market for it ... or am I wrong?! (no offence!!)

Here are some pics to annoy Scarlet because she has no snow!
On another note, I think the cam might be down at the moment - apologies - will get it back up as soon as possible...
But here's a pic of the hencam Christmas tree to cheer you up!
