I ended up on a surgery ward to have my appendix out but apparently it was a kidney stone instead and I must have passed it. It was all very dramatic, ambulance ride and everything. And the most painful thing ever. My crisp addiction certainly won't help. If I don't want it to come back I have to cut salt, protein and most everything yummy. :(Emma Kate at Paint and Stylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14186765005284249653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-11416107365653793422014-11-26T00:15:22.964+00:002014-11-26T00:15:22.964+00:00Sorry to hear about Stressed Cat and Cat in Tudor ...Sorry to hear about Stressed Cat and Cat in Tudor Ruff. We had a stressed cat too and her fur fell out in clumps. <br />Your Charity shop and Poundland bargains sound super, I like the blackboard!<br />By the way, I popped over to check you were ok after the op. Why oh why can't you eat crisps??????

Gus went through the same tail stripping last year for some reason, perhaps that was stress too but he's stopped now and most of the hair has grown back. I picked p some Christmas baubles in a charity shop when we were in Newquay a few weeks ago, 10 for a pound with a really old fashioned print and soft colours, I'm so pleased with them. Good luck with raising the money for the sofa! xxSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04402703967636964187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-26744370467152673952014-11-17T11:21:33.858+00:002014-11-17T11:21:33.858+00:00Poor darling Freddie and Bobby, too.

Obviously we had to have one at school so we didn't get our heads kicked in so we became bi lingual.

(apart from the cone obvs)<br />I was thinking along the same lines as Curtise, have you tried that Valium-for-cats plug in thing?<br />You've done really well with all of your finds. Can't wait to see the Tweed maxi, paired with the carpet bag of course. Finding that eiderdown for £3, it had to be fate. I'm always on the lookout for one but unless they have fag burns or stains they want silly money.

Do your boys like catnip? When mine gets impossible I sprinkle a lot on the rug and he rolls in it and gets stoned. <br />I help my boy out with his washing with a damp flannel. He loves it. He waits outside the bathroom for his flannelling. Have you tried putting a little bit of marge or butter on BB's paws, it might distract him from his tail.

The door looks great.<br />3. Skirts can totally do that. <br />4. Sorry to hear your daughter's been having a tough time at school. I hope the sequins fix it (they can fix most things, I reckon). <br />5. That sledge is AMAZING. I'm very sad that I don't live near you to buy one of the other ones. When we build our new kitchen (in 2032) I'm planning to suspend one from the ceiling to use as a pots and pans rack. <br />6. That eiderdown is gorgeous. You clearly deserve a life full of gorgeous eiderdowns and beautiful sofas. <br />7. What sofa are you buying?

Sending him a head and chin scratch (but not where it hurts). Poor old BB, I expect he's thoroughly confused by FF being out of action and wearing the cone. Perhaps you need some of that plug-in cat tranquiliser you can get, to calm him down? <br />That carpet bag is so pretty, and I'm expecting that the sledge is going to repainted immediately! You're definitely planning ahead - baubles, sledge, advent board, and Connie's Christmas party dress too. Hope she's OK, sending some love to her as well - having troubles at school is tough.<br />Ooh, a new sofa! That will be nice, and well done for funding it by Ebaying and car booting. Yes, a good bit of secondhand karma there - selling your favourite eiderdowns, only to find another lovely one, and for such a great price. The chazzing gods will provide, you just have to have faith! xxx <br />Curtisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10362184504889147455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677913901738632312.post-10957604305738192222014-11-16T18:46:52.900+00:002014-11-16T18:46:52.900+00:00So chuffed to hear how much better FF is doing, bu...So chuffed to hear how much better FF is doing, but worrying about BB.

It sounds as though you've already picked one out and I hope you raise enough money from your sales to purchase it. The sled and ornaments were great finds for your Christmas decorating. I'm laughing at your visions of your life altering tweed skirt. :o)<br /><br />Dogs will chew at their paws when they're stressed, too, so it must be the canine and feline version of chewing fingernails.
