The vet rang today, Blackie has FeLV (feline leukemia). I was so hoping she didn't have it. Her glands are still a little bit swollen and her left eye is slightly cloudy. On a good point she has put on some weight (she was very thin when we got her). She is such a lovely lovely little cat (if a bit mad at times).

We have been without a computer for a time as our new one just stopped working (has gone back to the shop and we are waiting for replacement). In the meantime we are using the old one (it's very slow).

Last night I went out for a meal with people from work. It was verynice though just after we finished the main course the lights went out (power cut) and never came back on! The staff put out loads of little tealight candles - when you went to the loo you had to pee by candlelight. Dessert was a cold one (choice of trifle, fruit or lemin tart) and there were no coffees/tea to finish.

I did not go and get weighed on Monday - a combination of having Rhi off school sick and not wanting to go and see a gain on the numbers! I AM going this Monday though. I know I will have gained again - life so gets in the way of dieting doesn't it.

 Me and Blackie today.

Blackie fast asleep

We have found a wonderful cattery for Blackie to stay in when we go on holiday. It is not too far away (Mold) and I spoke to the owner today (who sounds a lovely person). I had a look at the cattery web site and it looks fabulous (wouldn't min a holiday there myself). It is such a relief to know that Blackie will be safe and well cared for when we go away. We are lucky to have found this place (more so with Blackie having the leukeamia).
My friend Nicola and her daughter came round today (her daughter is a year younger than Jonathan). I'm afraid we went to Macdonalds and afterwards here at home I have eaten LOADS of chocolate and tonight I am going to have several glasses of wine whilst watching a film. How about I start the diet tomorrow!!!!!
I am taking Rhi swimming tomorrow (I will do 500 kicks in the water - I am no good at swimming and cannot even manage a width unfortunately.
