A bit of a gang update.

1) The Hinge cat appears to be back to her happy purry self, after her traumatic stay at the vets last week due to her constipation. She also seems to have put herself on a diet much to Furry Mama's delight. She's now eating less than her skinny sister!

2) Baggy and Minty Mutt are both fully recovered from The Domestic Goddess trying to poison them with her not properly re-heated stew! Although the comfort eating that followed the poisoning wrecked Baggy's diet!

3) At Fat Club this morning Baggy had put on half-a-pound. She cares not one jot. Aside from anything else, as the scales weigh to the nearest half-a-pound she may have only put an ounce on! Clever Bird realises that Hormonal Hannah would have been more upset if she'd lost a pound. Why? Well bloggees because if she had, she would have missed her target by half-a-pound!!!! And that would have upset her because she ate half a packet of ginger nuts on Wednesday!

4) Furry Mama's Number One Furry, Calum, has finally had the surgery to put the "posts" in his jaw for his new teeth this morning. He's feeling a little bit sorry for himself and has a very swollen face, but it went well.

5) Plans are moving apace to get their house ready to be a holiday cottage. Next week new heating will be fitted. Or more accurately, heating will be fitted, as the house has had no heating other than the lovely open fire for the last two years and has never had any heating anywhere except the sitting room! Clever Bird is quite excited that Baggy won't have to jump around to keep warm in the bathroom anymore!

6) Also next week, work will be starting on their other house to take off and fix, the side-extension roof, which is the leakiest of the three roofs. The scaffolding is already up apparently, so Creative Clara and Calum will be heading over there tomorrow with paint brushes in hand to take advantage of the scaffolding and do some remedial work on the woodwork.

7) They are planning on spending their first night there on Saturday, so that they can go and have a reccy of a possible livery yard for the Boys on Sunday. The one thing Freda Fretter is really worried about with the move, is that Grotty Groom will have to find a new place for Wesley and Joey. It will be hard to find somewhere that will match up to where they are now.

 8) Baggy is happy and excited about all the changes heading her way! Not terrified as she would have been pre-counselling and happy pills. Roll on life.............
