Some things I have learnt this week.........

- Do not, ever, under any circumstances, give your cats brand new cat nip mice at around 8 pm........ because when you try to go to bed a couple of hours later your cats will be trying to attempt their version of the Cresta Run (it felt like was cold enough, we've had frost the last few days) around your bedroom and have the most amazing blown pupils ..... hiding under the duvet isn't good cos every twitch you make you get attacked.......... and that was before Gina got the munchies and decided to empty all the draws in  the bedside cabinets in an attempt to work out if there were treats available!

- No matter how securely you think you've managed to wedge the new "cat gym" into the corner between the bookcase and the wall..... at 3 am one of the cats will manage to get the whole thing to fall over and crash, loudly, onto the floor.  I think they get bonus points if they can get from the crows nest type basket at the highest point onto your head as they do this........ scratches on your chin and neck are kind of hard to explain......

- If you make your packed lunch in the early hours (okay it was about 6 am) it's better to turn the lights on .... I swear the cucumber moved and made the knife attack my fingers....

- When pouring boiling water out the kettle, concentrate, because pouring it all over your other hand as it's hovering around near the mug is really not a good idea......... thankfully only a bit scalded as I got it under the cold water tap asap

- Remember to get the dogs chicken wings out the freezer the night before.... jumping up and down on a bag of wings that are all stuck together in the middle of the yard in the early hours (yep, just before the finger slicing) is a very silly thing to do - particularly if it's wet and slippery underfoot..... oh yeah, and it's better to probably wear shoes when doing this.... frozen chicken bones are sharp....

- When you have a complete melt down the week before in your counselling session, your counsellor will not accept that you are "fine" this week and will want you to talk.............watching the fish in the tank in the corner of his office was a much better option...

- There is nothing wrong with the battery on my mobile phone.......... it just really helps to turn socket switch to on when you put it on to charge......

Yep - it really has been one of those weeks!! :)
