She was marvellous, much loved and always remembered - a cat with real personality - she even gave away her food to other cats out of kindnessAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13886037248037765094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-45262731313995906032016-03-14T01:34:41.279-07:002016-03-14T01:34:41.279-07:00Glasses are horrendously expensive!

I know only too well, I have to have two pairs - one as a spare - just in case....Can’t do anything without them unfortunately :( Hate those nose thingies though, I always have the moulded ones, so much more comfortable.BetweenTheLineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13450847064064068248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-52493399117492832592016-03-12T15:46:05.576-08:002016-03-12T15:46:05.576-08:00Life has become much simpler since I had my real e...Life has become much simpler since I had my real eyes replaced by bionic ones six years ago (ok so I just had cataracts, but that doesn't sound half so interesting). Now, I just order glasses online as my prescription is so simple! Cheap, plastic and so cheerful I've got four pairs in different colours, but I still manage to lose them regularly. Under the car seat is a common hiding place. Lord knows how they get there...I suspect everyone except me of course. As for mice, we have them too...every autumn and spring. I set humane traps, but as they always come at night, it means that either K or I have to head out into the cold to take them far enough away so they don't come back...we've learnt the hard way that two kms is the minimum!Vallypeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08309284606572565277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-49463373393842613562016-03-12T09:42:44.061-08:002016-03-12T09:42:44.061-08:00Oh same here...and keys .........don't get me ...Oh same here...and keys .........don't get me started on keys!

Now, I like any furry creature, but took to getting up in the night (unfortunately have sevaral wee problems and need to go a few times :) ) and finding my slippers, bashing them hard to make sure the furry critters were not lodged within and then trudging off to the loo, stark naked apart from the slippers, secure that I would not inadvertanly squash a little darling. I discovered that German mice enjoy dark chocolate and leave the milk type untouched. Sad for hubby, happy me :) As for glasses, need an alarm on mine xxx Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03226294517368497411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-74390840096551404832016-03-12T04:58:55.103-08:002016-03-12T04:58:55.103-08:00Aha!

I have a very old pair of reading glasses and I buy daily contact lenses, but I can't read the computer with them so I have magnifying glasses too (which are always going missing). In my next life I'm going to be an optician.<br />Lizanne Lloydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10929383263680527758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-33327378720936562562016-03-12T01:12:11.726-08:002016-03-12T01:12:11.726-08:00Sounds sooo much better than: the baby took a bite...Sounds sooo much better than: the baby took a bite out of them ..Carol Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10359578624109905400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-81551287680954643622016-03-12T01:04:54.947-08:002016-03-12T01:04:54.947-08:00Glasses - grr.
