Wow, we've had electronic records for many years now, though they are done alongside paper ones - can't get the doctors to give up on pen and paper!! Also, paper doesn't go down when there's a problem with the system, and can't get hacked en mass! I've spend 26 years in the NHS and have always been able to access patient records, but I'm not allowed now. I might read something I'm not allowed. Having signed a confidentiality agreement on day one I really don't see the problem, but data protection rules have changed so much. I can't believe how old your kittens are now Diane, or how big they are!! I reserved a kitten of the same age this weekend and he was 3.2kg and considered on the plump side!!!!! Yours must be crossed with a big ...

Finley's alerts have been soooo amazing these last few days, despite him getting no walks. My heart's been having a fun few days - this is just me standing up https://youtu.be/WN4LUBBExxI I really want to try PA again with Finley, but I haven't left the house at all the last few days. Hopefully tomorrow my body will calm down some though & tomorrow we can get back to walks & training!

I think Kasper's actually trying to kill me - he left a toy in the middle of the upstairs hallway right in front of the bathroom, & we have no light up there Finley's joining in the fun too, had a really traumatic walk the other day where two dogs he was playing with took him up a cliff. I called him to carry on as the other owner was just carrying on walking, despite his dogs approaching Finley, & as he was recalling he DECIDED TO JUMP OFF THE CLIFF to us Obviously with the Toller stuff, & him being an ADiT, that was TERRIFYING!! I cried so much, & Finley god love him was just really proud he recalled from playing with other dogs Thankfully he's been totally fine, he didn't yelp or limp even as it happened, & has shown nothing sin...

So excited to see so many posts from my beloved buddies. I LOVE that photo, NN. And CC's pun - entails. Har. My kittens are six months old as of the 14th. Well, Merlin as of the 2nd. Hakuin and Merlin (who are cousins ... and half brothers because ... cats) weigh about 9 pounds. Harri, however, (Hakuin's baby brother) weighs about 10 pounds! It almost throws your back out to pick him up. His feet are like he is wearing baseball gloves on them. NN I am eating waffles (vegan ones) with peanut butter and PLUM SAUCE on them, as I write. So yummy. Kate I carry a laptop for my job as a DCR (Designated Crisis Responder). We have just entered the world of electronic health records. So we go into this online app and all the c...

Yes, they seem to be easy pickings for the cats at the moment. So funny CC - I'm sure cats do it deliberately. Did Tuppence beat you back to the warm bed?!

That's so funny CC I just hope the leaf appreciated it. The wild mice will be looking for warm winter quarters at the moment Kate. I put some chopped sultanas and raisins from the wine Im making in the second composter yesterday. I just hope momma mouse doesn't get drunk eating them.

My son has a real posh looking hob with a glass top I forget what its called at the moment. its just dark glass and it turns red where you put the pans. Looks lovely but boy I hate cooking on it as it takes so long to turn down and it stays hot for ages. I have burnt myself several times on it.

I have an electric hob - well, electric everything really - as we are too far from the road to have gas. So I have to put the kettle back on the ring when I've used it so Her Maj doesn't burn paws.Consequently we have to listen to the kettle whingeing for the next five minutes.

Cats are horrible sometimes, aren't they? I saw Tuppence tormenting something in the back garden the other morning so I got out of my cosy bed, put on my slippers and dressing gown and went out in the cold, shooed Tuppence away and bravely and singlehandedly rescued...the leaf.

Dreadful. What am I paying my taxes for?? Everyone knows the NHS was set up to keep cats warm... NN, Tuppence would adore a new toy, thank you; the people who make the Zebedee catnip mice have changed something and she now ignores them completely. The ears are now grey and the bags are different.

Jenson brought a tiny mouse back last night. I told him to drop it (which he did straight away!) and to my surprise it was still alive and uninjured! I scooped it up in my special cup and put it at the top of the garden so it could escape. He was desperate to get back out but I made him stay in for 10 mins and then let him out the front. An hour later Meow Meow was outside acting strange. He'd also brought back a mouse but the poor thing was dead, so for all my joy at saving one, there was nothing I could do about the other. I'm pretty sure they were 2 different mice though.

Such a close call! Good job you were both in the house - could've been very nasty for the smaller animals, you did a great job moving them straight away. My MIL's budgie died when their chip pan caught fire. The kitchen was smoke damaged but nothing more, but the budgie's cage was on top of the fridge and his little lungs didn't cope. Very sad. We have to be careful we don't leave the kitchen door open if we've cooked something in hot fat. Meow Meow has burn his chin 3 times because he's tried to lick it. I won't have an electric hob for the same reason NN.

My cats love it when I work from home - they take turns sitting on the laptop! Unfortunately for them we've been issued with new ones that are called Zero Client Laptops (basically they have nothing on them, they're just a link to the internet and the cloud based desktop or something like that) and they don't emit much heat. My old one would be too hot to be on my lap after half and hour - used the new one all day yesterday and it was fine. Poor cats - the NHS just doesn't think of their welfare in these colder days!!!

Best I make her another cat nip toy CC she must be ready for a new one. Mickey climbed to the top shelf of the pantry the other day and was sniffing the cat nip tub and rattling it about. I had put it up there to keep it away from his attentions. He don't miss nothing Earlier tonight I caught him trying to chew the second hand off a clock G/N had made, its looking a bit battered now but luckily still works !!!!! So maybe best I make them all some new ones. Still he has dispatched plenty of spiders this year so I can not be too cross with him xx

Oooops that was a close call Red thank goodness you are all ok. When we first had cats I changed to a gas hob as the plates on the electric stove top took so long to cool down and they were always jumping up there when I least expected them to.

Goog grief, Red: what a fright! Not funny either - I had customers who had left egg boxes right beside the cooker and the dog did the same as Kaspar. The kitchen caught fire and they were out of the house for three months while it was all rebuilt. The dog was all right though I don't see why he got the blame - bloody stupid place to leave egg boxes.

Hahaha omb NN Aw I bet they're about the same age as my little ones!! Kate I don't sell them anymore as it was taking too much of a toll on my health. Kinda annoying as it was a part I really enjoyed (still get the odd update from mice that are over 1yo now!), but I'm enjoying it as a hobby regardless (: Well these girls are just growing more gorgeous everyday!! The satin, Goldie, is beautiful. I think another might be a light fawn (light ginger), crossing all my fingers & toes!! I'll know for sure in a few days. https://youtu.be/t3N-F_hamPY

I love you Claudia reference Kate, They are all fantastic Red and so precious and adorable. I love the pictures of them many thanks for sharing. I so wanted to share this with you. I emptied one of my composter bins yesterday and saw a beautiful beige wild mouse shoot out. As I was distributing the soil I found four baby mice which was a surprise as there was no nest. I scooped them up into my gloved hand and could feel the warmth of them through it. I would have loved to have gotten pictures but didn't want them to get chilled. I tucked them back into the empty composter with a bit of soft moss and am hoping the Mum will find them. The were just getting their fur but didn't struggle or panic. I am sure my Dad was turning in his grave with...

Staff just dont understand - they get very little training too. I hope it was just a counter assistant that wouldn't let you in not the Pharmacist. Well done for the manager at least apologising and reassuring you he'll make sure they all get training. Probably very worried about getting an official complaint about disability awareness! Have you got a shower stool so that you can at least sit down when you're in there?

And look at the little ones!! The girl I was hoping to be fawn (ginger - accidentally bred fawn out & was hoping I'd got lucky with her!!) isn't fawn, but is satin! So I'm really happy with that & have some plans for her already. She looks like liquid gold!! And if you watch the video, I demonstrate one of my favourite things with baby mice - basically as long as you show them they are safe & secure, you can do ANYTHING with them!! You can literally flip them vertically, upside-down, & as long as they feel secure they'll just sleep https://youtu.be/Ri6pWzyoc8c

They're calming down a decent amount now too, Murf especially was sweet tonight. I'll still only be pairing them up with my most confident females though, so hopefully the bombproof-ness of my mice will cancel out their slightly less confident temperament, but it'll be great to get their size & hopefully colours in my lines!! Finally got a decent photo of Murf!!

Thank you Kate! It's almost the balancing act I struggle with most...my mental health takes a dive if I don't get out at least a little each day, even just getting to the park behind our house, but doing that adds up CFS/ME payback & I end up with crippling symptoms. So which do I put first mental health or physical?! And POTS means my fatigue is increased further...like today my fatigue was manageable for the first time in a few weeks, but my POTS was awful. So I had a shower (heart rate 166), then a few hours afterwards I was hit by intense fatigue, pain & a migraine as a result, which left me in a ton of pain all day. If my POTS hadn't been so bad, the payback from the shower wouldn't have been as intense. Like damn it, whyyyyy!! ...

If my POTS hadn't been so bad, the payback from the shower wouldn't have been as intense. Like damn it, whyyyyy!! ...

Glad to see they're so handleable too - their previous owner must've been overjoyed that you took them.

Lyle adores you - he's such a fabulous partner. I know you'll be struggling and with such a terrible condition such as POTS it's no surprise, but you both do your best manage the condition and find solutions rather than sitting back and waiting for someone else to do it for you. Finley is the best solution so far!!!!!

It's Amazon Prime Day! Time to stock up on stuff you don't really want...
I did manage to find a cheapish solar powered charger - hopefully it will save us some money as our electricity bills are 50% higher than the national average :( I suppose that's what you get for having a PC, 4 cameras and mic's running 24/7.
If you do want to go have a look on amazon, please use our links, it doesn't cost you anything but helps bring us a few pence if you order :)
Thanks :)
