Yes, pleased as punch the turkey was eaten though it was difficult trying to keep a straight face during dinner, which was made even more difficult by the other half constantly asking if I'd like to try a small bit.... "Erm no thanks I'm full"”
 

This has to be a future Simon Mayo confession

Yep, I reckon so 

Although like the sound of Rebecca's sprouts fried with bacon!

 

They are delicious! Super healthy of course....

Not with the bacon lol

My mum "stir frys" hers with bacon - allegedly its nice. 

Is it weird i can eat sprouts raw but cant stand them if they are cooked - that goes for cabbage too!

I can eat most things to be polite but cannot bear cooked cabbage, sprouts, hot milk, semolina or cold custard

Sadly this was to be Scruffs last Christmas dinner.... Not the friendliest of cats I've had to deal with, probably due to her previous owners poor handling of her. Still she had 10 good years here and had all the similarities to Simonscat so was more often than not a pain in the backside....


Thanks,

Aww what a shame

Mine decided it was a good idea to bring yet another live mouse home at 1am. They do like to test you !

Funny you should mention cats passing .. It's been a year now since my cat passed away ,like yours Barney she was not the friendliest to other people but she was always under my feet or on the bed or where ever I went she followed , still miss her terribly though ,my facebook page still has her on it

Awww sorry to hear that Andy, I miss my cat Bubble terribly. She was a crazed killer but so adorable.

Sorry to hear about Scruffs too Barney, losing pets is horrible. 


Reminds me of incident many years ago when I came home from school with chocolate mousse I had made in cookery lesson.  Put basket on kitchen floor and went into lounge to talk to my mother.  After a few minutes she said "where's the dog?".  Dog was in kitchen tucking into said mousse.  She got a spoon and removed remains of where dog had eaten and served the rest for pudding.  We're all still here except my stepfather who died many years later and the dog who suffered no ill effects!

Not quite the same but i have decided to re-home my cat, really don't want to but the other half has a dog and one has to go , it was universally decided (by her) that the cat was not in our future.

Fortunately my ex has said that she will have the cat, just have to summon the courage to arrange a date Patch will leave me- i feel just the same as i did when my last cat died

Well I've currently got another one that its not looking too good for, she was never my cat, just strolled in last August when I was off sick. She was in an awful state, just came in let out a cry and collapsed, took her to the vet the following morning who asked if I wanted her put down, said to him I'd give her a chance...So we eventually got her weight back up from 1.6kg to 2.4kg this was after discovering she had an overactive thyroid which we had removed. Within a week of this operation she started to have epileptic fits which we got under control. This weekend she started to drink excessively knowing full well this was an issue with the kidneys was back up to the vets yesterday for blood tests which confirmed it. She's on medication for a week but it isn't looking good. I have already decided not to put her through anymore treatment. Absolutely hate having to make decisions like this and even having made these decisions in the past it doesn't become any easier.... crap days ahead 


Thanks,
Barney
