Cats, nursery and crafts
Rather a mish-mashy time at the moment.
I'm rather bored of my ramshackle house and but since I can't see us moving any time soon I've decided to come over all crafty and start tarting it up a bit. I'm going to make some nice "pretties" which we can take with us when we eventually do move (no way wasting money on expensive paint and borders for the walls!). I've got a few bits on the go at the moment which I'll post piccies of as they get finished:
- A patchwork throw for the living room sofa (this will take FOREVER as I'm sewing by hand so don't expect anything any time soon - may post an "in progress" pic though at some point)
- Decorated candles
- A cute noticeboard for our hall way (to replace the dreary old brown cork one that is there at the moment)
- Decorated pots for plants and cut flowers
Today we booked our cats in for their jabs that they need them to go in the cattery in August when we go on holiday. Can't imagine the poor old things are going to be too impressed but they have to have them and that's it. They're going to be even less impressed when they get kitted out with flea collars before they go to the cattery as well! We've lived here for 5 years and they've not got a single flea on them - I guarantee they'll come back from their "holiday" riddled with them. I just know it.
Also got a bit of a dilema with the nursery. We've decided to change the Friday morning session to another afternoon session. This is because it really is just TOO far for April to walk (amongst other, less important reasons) so we're going to do it for a day when Tim is home to take her in the car. At least, that's the plan. I did contact the directress about it and say that we could not do Friday mornings any more but I've heard nothing back yet. This leaves me in a bit of a quandry about what to do about tomorrow - I'm going to look an idiot if I turn up with her after saying I couldn't take her AND they might be assuming we won't be there anyway. Hmmm. Luckily it's half term next week so whatever happens, presumably I can get something sorted out over that week ready for when she goes back the following week so if she misses tomorrow it's no big deal really.
Not much else to report really other than its "that " time of the year again - TICKS!!! I've already had to remove them from April, Rosie and Tim (it's one of the hazzards of living somewhere close to farmland and so on). I'll spend the whole summer on full time bloody tick-watch UUUURRGGH!!
Oooooo! and Springwatch starts on telly on Monday!!! I love it! I love the cute webcams of the birds feeding their young and the gorgeous other wildlife. Can't wait!
