Skittle update

posted by [personal profile] tadorna at 10:18pm on 28/09/2010
Er... I now feel a bit fraudulent getting you all worked up about the cute kitteh.

Thing number one, Skittle is not a girl. Skittle is a boy.
Thing number two, Skittle is actually called Ernie, and... as it turned out when the vet discovered the microchip, was a LYING RUNAWAY IMPOSTER. So he's gone back to his real owners, the bastards.

Damn microchips, reuniting people with their much-loved pets. *growl*

Oh, my! What drama.

I hope your mother wasn't too attached yet.

Well, a little bit. I tried to find her a new one on the internet, but none of them were right, apparently.

My mum's utterly convinced he's not happy there, and ought to be allowed to stay with her.

But there are plenty of other fish in the sea! Or, er, cats. Only probably not in the sea.

I found lots on the internet. But they all got rejected out of hand...

Take her to a shelter - it's harder to reject them when they're purring and rubbing their little noses on you.

Oh no! Well, hoorah that Ernie has gone back to his owners, but boo that it means your mother is without cat once more. Hopefully there will be another cat on the horizon very soon. :)

I tried. She's being very stubborn.

Oh. I feel all dressed up with nowhere to go now.

Do you fancy going to Norwich and looking at Remedios Varo in the Sainsbury Collection??? Link: http://www.scva.org.uk/exhibitions/current/index.php?exhibition=85

Ooh ooh! I would love that! We featured that in our events guide the other week. :) Also: a day out. Sounds good - we must sort out a good day for this.

We may need to move this to November as it is becoming increasingly likely that we may be moving by 29 October and that means packing up an entire house...! I'm not sure I'm up to this. How did you manage your two movings within the wich? But let's find a good day in Nov; this will be fun!!

Yes, definitely - November is good for me! :)

Argh, good luck with the moving! I've moved house 12 times in my life, and 10 of those were in the last 14 years as an independent adult-type person. To start with I'd basically just pack a couple of bags and merrily troop off to the shared student hovel, but each move has become a teensy bit more stressful as I've gradually acquired more stuff. I've now filled a two-bedroom house with this *stuff*, all of it mine, and the idea of moving fills me with cold dread.

And this is without the added stress of buying/selling.

Stress now somewhat alleviated by getting moving company to pack everything for us! This just leaves us with having to get rid of large items wot won't fit into the new house (trampoline) and throwing stuff out and hiring a skip and cancelling the milk and OTHER GROWED-UP STUFF.

The Comprehensive Spending Review fills me with cold, cold dread.

I can't even think about the CSR today - I feel terrible enough as it is!

How are you? How are you? I see you're hardly ever on this thing now but nor am I so only noticed just now. I thought of you when a) I read your Peter Wimsey on ducks quote!!! well, I'd already thought of you by that stage, I guess, seeing as I was on your profile page..., b) I heard David Mitchell on Radio Four! c) I saw Dr Who.

When shall we go to Norwich???

It's terrible, I keep thinking 'I must post' and then not doing it.

I like that those things made you think of me. :)

Right, well I seem to be pretty free in November at the moment. Don't know if you get any week days but I have the 8th-12th booked off work. Otherwise, weekends are fine. When's good for you?
