Right. All this talk of babies, children and the catalyst; Debby posting pics of the beautiful Amber, have led me to (hopefully as I'm to too conversant with all this) post some pics of my 3 kitties and Dominik my baby - from birth to about April time this year ( he was born Aug 03). The 3 cats...

I don't quite know what to do. Ferdy, my big black FIV ex-stray boy is getting seriously aggressive towards my timid little blue persian boy. He's actually jumping on him and tearing his fur out. I'm very scared he will puncture the skin and tranfer the FIV. I love Ferdy to bits and he is the...

Guys - a friend of many of ours who used to be a frequent poster needs our thoughts and prayers right now. Bodlover is expecting a baby in March and I have heard through a mutual friend that all is not well. She is in hospital and the baby may have to be delivered early due to health...

Right - I need some advice concerning my brother. Briefly - we haven't spoken since Sept 2002. He seems to think either myself or hubby have broken a promise and he feel hard done by. The only thing I can think of is that we didn't help him turn quite a good idea of his into a business...

My poor old FIV ex-stray Ferdy has not been very well for some time. He has had recurrent ear infections due to polyp growths inside his ears. We have been holding off operating because of the risks involved, and we have been keeping his condition under control using steriods and anti-biotics...

Well - I have been torn in my childcare choices up until now. Dominik is 3.5 months and I need to spend a bit more time helping my husband focus on our business. So . . . it was either put him into day nursery for a couple of days a week (expensive), but this means I still need to pay extra for...

I have to admit, I haven't been around as much lately, but I haven't seem any posts from Cindy, and I kind of miss her pragmatic and no-nonsense additions. Can anyone enlighten me? Sorry if I've missed something . . .

I thought it would be interesting to see what famous residents or ex-residents live(d) in your town or city. I'll start. The 2 I know that come from Reading are Kate Winslet and Kenneth Brannagh. Ocar Wilde was imprisoned in Reading Gaol where he wrote the famous poem - the Balad of Reading...

I'm curious as to how most countries manage with temperature variations. The reason I ask is that for the last few days it has been 30+ degrees C in the UK, and the country has been falling apart!!! Our train rails are buckling under the heat, so they have imposed severe speed restrictions on...

I noticed there hasn't been a DT for a few days - you guys haven't changed the rules while I've not been looking have you? Anyway - the heatwave in the UK seems to have passed, but the humidity is still quite high - cloudy and sticky - YUK!!! Working from home now for the next few weeks until...

It's haf six in the morning here - sorry, it's probably still Sunday for some guys . . . Anyway, mindful of the fact I haven't posted much recently, I thought I'd drop by and say HI!!! I pop in every day to have a quick, but don't have the time to reply Well after a hot and humid weekend...

Right. My turn to ask y'all for some feedback. As you must by now know, I will be having a baby boy in mid-August. We have now begun narrowing down our HUGE name list, and I'd love some help in finalising it. I think we'll reserve final judgement until we'll see the little fella, but I'd still...

Wow - I have a chance to spend more than a fleeting visit here today and catch up on some threads/posts. Today I've just had my 2nd antenatal appointment at the hospital. All went well. At the moment I'm still classed as low-risk, and if all continues like this I might be able to have junior in...

My really good friend that I found through Friends Reunited sent me this and I just had to share it - the frog one had me rolling on the floor . . . It is good to be a woman: 1. We got off the Titanic first. 2. We can scare male bosses with the mysterious gynaecological disorder excuses. 3...

Can anyone help? Both Fifi and Balie were spayed/neutered over 5 years ago. On Monday evening, I walked into the lounge to see Balie astride Fifi, scruffing her and making mating motions about halfway up her back, he was moaning at her - she was not distressed, she just lay there and...

I posted a couple of days back that my step-son's fiance has been rushed into hospital. Well, they operated thinking it was apendicitis, however it transpired that it was not. They called in a gynaecologist who identified some problems with her ovaries/tubes. In the last few hours she has...

I'd like to thank the 2 people who've recently PM'd me to ask where I am. Fact is - I'm still diving in, if not daily then several times a week. Things are REALLY busy here. We've picked up some nice clients a a couple of quite big projects as well as heaps of little ones. As my new business is...

Has our Bod gone on holiday? She's been away for over a week and I was wondering if she's OK. Does anyone know? If you're there Bod, it's no use hiding. We've sussed you now!!!

Well - I'm just bursting to share this! Today, my new little marketing company won it's first job - and it's a biggie - worth about GBP25K!!! We are translating and doing the page make-up on some operations manuals for a world-reknowned ice-cream brand. I've been nurturing this one for a...

I caught my Balie in his usual, relaxed, bashful and unassuming pose last night and thought you might like to see how my kitty lets his hair down (or should that be lets it all hang out . . .)
