Milly Moggins ......
..... has finally settled in!
She still has the occasional growl at Jasper but she is turning into a really cuddly kitty, and is getting used to mealtimes and eating with the other two. We had a lovely snuggly cuddle last night and she fell fast asleep. Her coat is still a bit ratty but looks a bit more glossy than it did when we got her last week.

Not a good week ....
upped my anti-depressants to 75mg on monday and since then, have had a bad time with hypos and dizziness but the mint tea in the evening seems to have stopped the reflux problem - touch wood!
Ryan didn't pass his college exam AGAIN and I think we're going to call it a day, I am so glad Amber decided to stick with GCSE's and not do a college course! She has made a slow start on her TRASH design but I don't really think she knows what she is going to do!
Finished Beaded Lace Smoke Ring and started some more gloves which will hopefully fit me better round the wrist and are definitely longer than the frill ones.
Milly is settling in slowly, she is not keen on cuddles yet but I am sure that will change given time. Jazz and Oz managed to get her cornered under the reclining chair last night and it was really funny to watch Oz try to get at her!
Getting rid of American fridge and having Clare's fridge and freezer instead (they are only a few months old) as I can't pass up the opportunity of her getting rid as my freezer was playing up a few weeks ago. It'll be fun trying to get it out of the kitchen though!

Shilasdair yarn
I am knitting a Beaded Smoke Ring with the lovely yarn Frances bought me when she visited Shilasdai on Skye in October. Trouble is the dye (cochineal) comes off on my hands and even gets on my face!
I have decided to knit cowls instead of scarves as certain young four legged friends who shall remain nameless like to play with any dangly bits!

Having a moan.
I’m really fed up - can’t go near the windows because of the snow glare, the house is a mess, the kids aren’t at school (no buses running), Jasper isn’t eating properly, haven’t been out properly (only to the bin) since tuesday, no post since tuesday either and have loads of books on order that I want to look at, Amber’s best friend stayed overnight (they have got as much snow as us and only live about 5 miles away) so the kitch looks as if it’s been trashed, all the downstairs lights were left on as was the computer and the TV. To cap it all, I am in the process of having my anti-depressants changed over and am on a very low dose and we couldn’t get to Kangaloonies yesterday!
