We’ve been super efficient today and got loads done. 🙂 First thing (well as first thing as it gets round here 😉 ) we went to Asda to get my Mum’s very belated birthday pressie of a basic digital camera. We got a nice one which Dad paid 2/3 of and then Ady went over …

Extreme Nature!!!
We didn’t make it to PYO today, a variety of events conspired to make us not actually manage any of our planned activities but we had a nice, if slightly frustrating, day anyway. Ady’s phone didn’t arrive so he spent ages chasing that up and now it’s coming tomorrow. So while we waited in for …
Malice, the two eyed cat!
She looks better even if she can’t look better! She’s had the sewn up eye unsewn today and although it is totally non-functional she does at least look symmetrical again and less like some sort of feline spectre. They had a look at the other eye while she was sedated and it is still too …
Birthday monitor back on track…
says Happy 5th Birthday Freya! 🙂 Hope you’re having a fab day and look forward to belated celebrations at your party 🙂 Lots of love, Ady, Nic, Davies and Scarlett xxx
Picking up…
First the good news from today; Malice has started eating food and drinking water herself. This is a Very Good Thing – if for no other reason than it means no more expensive vets trips so she can have nasal tubes inserted. 🙂 We had to put the bowls right infront of her nose and …
On yer bike!
Ah more domestic bliss and gender stereotyping abounds chez Goddard today. I have batch cooked chilli for the rest of the month, made two loads of pizza dough (one of which was turned into pizza for Tarly and garlic bread for me, Ady and Davies and eaten today, one of which is ready for pizza …
Badgerdoodledandy!
I appear to have been going down with a cold the last couple of days. Davies was coughing a lot last week and had a slightly runny nose but we put it down to the air con in the car drying his throat and a combination of hayfever and playing with water giving him a …
Possibly one of the worst birthday monitors ever says!
Happy 6th Birthday Marcus! Hope you had a fab day, lots of love, Ady, Nic, Davies and Scarlett xxx
Better…
Malice is still doing OK. Not really eating or drinking but fine in herself and getting more adventurous with where she’ll wander. I’m still holding out a bit of hope for some vision but that might well be me and my wishful thinking. We’ll see what the vets say tomorrow but fingers crossed we can …
and for something a bit lighter…
Doctor Unheimlich has diagnosed me withNic’s Lurgy Cause: influence of the Devil Symptoms: vague regurgitation, slightly impaired vision, gurgling Cure: sleep Enter your name, for your own diagnosis:
so not in a blogging place…
But I’ve had enough comments and texts about Malice to warrant an update so I will. She perked up considerably when I arrived at the vets and despite her usually being a vocal cat the nurses were amazed to hear her miaow very croakily for the first time all week. Needless to say she’s not …
Bad to worse…
Have just collected Malice – she seems OK although very probably blind and with lots of expensive recovery still ahead. But on the way I went to collect my Mum – who was paying half the bill 🙁 and in turning the car round I crashed into a tree. Fuck.
Tour of the North (including Scotland)
So I go away for six nights and what happens? A bloody whacking great hole appears in the internet again and your best efforst to fix it are listing what’s kicking around in your fridges? 😆 Just as well I’m back eh? Six nights, four friends, 1100 miles, 4027 ‘are we there yet?’s, more alterations …
Back!
And not entirely surprisingly I have a lot to say! So I think I’ll break it into chunks to make it easier. Firstly we are actually back earlier than planned as Malice has been found. She had been hit by a car and taken to a vets sometime either Friday or Saturday last weekend. I’ve …
In other news…
We’ve had a lovely if busy day today. An early start due to missing Malice induced loudness from the children. We left home and headed into town to the post office to get 8 ebay parcels on their way and tax my car before going over to Ali’s. A lovely time there as usual with …
Malice. My cat.
She’s still not back and has been missing for nearly 24 hours. I know she may well come home yet, I know she may well be locked in someone’s shed or garage, stuck up a tree, nestled on the lap of an elderly neighbour being hand fed freshly caught fish. But she is 14 to …
Come back Malice!
Can’t find my cat 🙁 She was around last night but went out during the evening and despite me accidentally leaving the back door wide open all night she hasn’t been seen since (although I suppose she could well have been in and out all night). Our cats have only been going out very recently …
And aside from my new used knicker selling on ebay career…
I have also been doing loads of gallivanting about the last couple of days. 🙂 Had a lovely day yesterday in London, via Reading (and no, geography hounds it possibly is not the most as the crow flies route but it was more frugal train fare wise and I am still a bit of a …

Blimey!
Stuck five of my maternity / feeding bras on ebay. They were Bravado ones and probably about a hundred quids worth in their day but they’d done me through two pregnancies / feeding and showed plenty of signs of wear. They just sold for £28 with a right bidding war at the end. I am …
I run for the bus dear…
Finished the book I was reading today. I probably covered a good 300 pages and it was no mean feat – I had to keep going and hiding in places from the children and allowing them to eat all sorts of weird and wonderful creations they put together themselves from the fridge. But it was …
