Pair of wallies! Gonna buy 2 big bars of carbolic soap and stuff it in your gobs. 🙄🙄No real plans for today but tonight I'll watch a horror film or two with a nice cold bottle of red wine.
Brother and partner coming over to see the new place today. And, of course, it's persisting down for the first time in over a week.🙁 Still, it'll be great to see them. 😀
Tonight, after some horror movie it's gonna be toss between blond Japanese or redhead Chinese.
Plastered the last bedroom in the extension I've been building, even one bedroom now painted and ready for flooring and skirting boards. The end is in sight.......Soon time to knock the doorway through from the cottage, should be fun. Love a bit of destruction.
Managed to move the storage boxes and the bikes round the corner to make more room. The empty pot is now in position, ready for filling and big castor oil plant is with the other two in the corner. It's starting to look as if somebody cares but there's a lot to go to the tip and help's going to be needed with the laurel which has got completely out of hand. Onwards and upwards!Night night.

Off to Mum's this morning until Friday. Afternoon tea today, Sis coming in for lunch tomorrow, Chinese for dinner on Wednesday...
I will of course be checking in with D that he's not having any wild parties in my absence, and to see if beautiful Miss Snowdrop is behaving herself. 😬

Surely a man of your proclivities should be fitting up-skirting boards?
Trying to multi-task by cleaning the kitchen and spare bedroom at the same time, and failing. Makes it slower again when wee Snowdrop tries to help (or should that be hinder) me. Tonight will be the usual bottle of red and a film or two. Might watch Terror Train before my Prime trial's up.
... while Miss Snowdrop will be having the usual bottle of Whiskas Cat Milk and watching Best Bird Highlights of Springwatch 2021 ;o>
She has water from her water fountain Suzy, but loves Whiskas Milky Kitten Pockets. Miss Snowdrop's asleep at the moment. A full belly from what she's consumed today so far... a Tiger Pate foil, roast beef her Daddy cut up for her, and half a wee tin of Gourmet beef casserole. Her tv taste is even more varied now. During the Olympics she enjoyed the golf and the horse dressage. 😝
A life of limitless luxury! ;o>Miss Snowdrop knows what she wants and knows just how to get it too!
... PURR, PURR, PURR ... ;o>
Yep, ha ha. Tomorrow we have the joy of building her new scratch tree. That'll be fun. 😺https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1942599580...
So for Christmas you are going to be buying Miss Snowdrop a Pony?And for her Birthday D will be building her an Indoor Golf Course?
! ... ;o>
I can hardly wait for the next Olympics now! ;o> ...
you wait till the snooker is on Collette ,Treacle loves that.
Buying a Dog licence. Told my Dog that she may be blind, and 1/2 deaf but she'd better live for another year as I've just paid 20 euro for a years Doggy Licence :0I got fined years ago, Dog Warden called by and my 2 Dogs both ran out up to him, damn animals, had to show themselves. 200 euro fine for the two of em...
And also eating runner beans daily, a mighty seemingly endless crop this year. But why did I grow Celery? Just to try something different I guess, now it's being fed to the Guinea Pigs, as no else is keen, lovely organic fresh celery...ha ha...little rodents are spoiled af.
Dog licence? We don't have any truck with that sort of sovereignty-undermining nonsense since Brexiting so seamlessly! Arrf!

Ah, that Brass with his BDS (Brexit Derangement Syndrome). We haven't had dog licences in the UK since Adam were knee high to a grasshopper.
Sure the UK companies must be pleased to let go of all those pesky EU customers.Feels like everyone I know has remarked on all the things they no longer order from the UK, due to import charges, or more usually just the company no longer exports. Motorbike parts, Car Parts, seeds, tools, etc etc...
You can go for the yearly Dog Licence at 20 euro annually.Or pay 140 euro for the Dogs lifetime...... however long that might be, it could be a bargain, or not.
You have to list the Dogs breed, colouring etc, so to save money I suppose you could keep the same type of Dog and made out it lived for say 30 years.... :) lol..

Mind you I can remember when t'supermarket shelves were full round 'ere and t'farmers could get their crops 'arvested .......... and Tories kept their manifesto pledges.

Yes but in those days, Brass, they had all that POW labour from the second world war.
Waiting on a call from the vet to come and collect wee Snowdrop. She's getting neutered, micro-chipped and her nails done. My poor wee baba wasn't even allowed any breakfast this morning. . 😟😿
Ohhh dear! ;o<You know that you are going to have to make it up to her BIGTIME after this, don't you Collette?!! ;o>
Brass Neck wrote: "...and Tories kept their manifesto pledges."A pledge made prior to the pandemic and the mega-splurge of government spending because of it. The likelihood of the pledge having been adhered to was almost minimal due to that, although according to an HMRC email I received yesterday the hike in NI contributions will supposedly only last one year, till April 2023, when it will revert to current levels, and a shiny new 1.25% ring-fenced levy will take its place. Doesn't mean I'm happy about it.
Is this tax increase the best way to deal with the social care problem? Probably not really, but that seems to be a fig-leaf for the true initial purpose which is shoving yet more funds into the gaping maw of the NHS for its often self-inflicted surge in waiting lists, caused by many hospitals effectively closing their doors to all except covid cases last year, and even cutting off treatment for cancer patients. The NHS is responding to this largesse by hiring 42 more chief executives (to go along with the dozens that already seem to be there) on an average salary of £223,000 and up to £270,000! (80% more than the PM) The health service reminds me more and more of one of those developing countries where a large proportion of aid funds slid mysteriously into the copious bank accounts of wealthy politicians and bureaucrats. Most depressing.

Tell me about it Suzy. Phoned the vet and the operation went well, thank god. Just hope the wee one hasn't fallen out with us. Picking her up in an hour. Roll on tomorrow, when today will be in the past. 🙂

42 Chief Executives to run the "the 42 new integrated care systems created by the government’s NHS bills", they're not just recruiting them "just because they can".
" The health service reminds me more and more of one of those developing countries where a large proportion of aid funds slid mysteriously into the copious bank accounts of wealthy politicians and bureaucrats. Most depressing."
No comment to make on your UKIP Government's channelling of billions of taxpayers money to friends and Conservative Party donors for PPE, etc.
Sure the UK has that mountain of cash, that they're not giving in foreign aid, no doubt the benefits of that must be washing over the country like a warm wet wave.

Eeee, Tory Tim but th'art almost as predictable as moi.

btw, bob zombie's looking for a burd! he's a total catch, sculpted like the panthers that prowl the savannah, lithe and supple, handsome with classic 'big cat' features. i'm sure snowdrop and him would make a fine couple!
disclaimer; very little of the above post is true...............cat? almost certainly!

She was walking backwards and falling about when we first brought her home but after a couple of hours her appetite was back, and last night she was jumping onto the couch and windowsill (while I sat there cringing). It's difficult for her trying to eat and get comfy but she's been her usual purry wee self. Seeing her lying there with that thing on this morning brought a tear to my eye though. Her Daddy was out earlier and got her a 'Hope You're Feline Better Soon' card. 🐱 x

Ha ha Ha. Miss Snowdrop's is a bit smaller than that, thank god. 😊Today's next plan...a nice long shower. Was trying to dish some Felix tuna soup for Snowdrop, and didn't open the packet right, meaning it squirted down my top and into my hair. 🤢
Been looking at Christmas trees as well because my existing 7ft one and a furry four legged person = trouble. Gonna order a wee 4ft pre-lit one from Wayfair in the morning.
LOL!!! ... Christmas in your House is going to be an absolute riot this year! ;o>
She'll still manage to get up to it probably. Better than being the fairy on the former though. 🎄
