Works been kinda okay this week.....sods law I guess. Youngest cherub returns from Benidorm tomorrow so thats the peace shattered I guess. Theres still loadsa food in cupboards, theres still loadsa toilet roll - which proves my theory that she either eats it or chucks it out the window for fun and the house is as tidy when I get in from work as when I leave. Never mind - its also been kinda too quiet. No doubt she wont shut up till at least sunday night.

The Cat saga began before I started this blog but to cut a long story short:-

24 jan - adopted cat from cats protection league - told to keep her in for 6 weeks till we find out if shes been spayed
21 feb - cat escapes while we run after her down main road wearing pjs
24 feb - we move house having left lost/please help ads everywhere
28th feb - we get phone call from woman whos been feeding cat looks like our description - go round and bring her home to new house
29th feb - vet advises us to keep her in for another 6 weeks till she gets used to new house and to see if she goes into heat - then mentions she could possibly be pregnant already and to watch out for signs????!!
late march - cat is getting alarmingly fat - vet confirms shes pregnant
30th april - five kittens born - all gorgeous have to admit and whole family in love with them
4th june ish - they all go into CPL until homes found for kittens as they are now ruining everything they can chew climb scratch in new house.
7th june - go on weeks holiday
15th june - come home and get phone call from CPL, someone has broken in and stolen one of the kittens. Go into state of panic incase they come back for our cat or any more kittys so go down and bring home the cat and four remaining kittens who proceed with their mission to wreck new house.
