I don't think he's wild, just lost.  But we live in the middle of no where so I have no idea where he has come from.  I feel sorry for him, though he is very noisey.  The kids want him to stay and he isn't a pain to the other cats, but oh goodness he makes such a racket.  Last night he woke me up and he sprays.  We are making progress as he now doesn't scarper when he sees me, hopefully, little by little he will learn to trust us, then I can whip him down the vets and get him done. Cats are harder work than kids.

Hello tresco No they are snuggled up in their beds.  I think we will have to stay home tomorrow as we have 12 inch drifts and with the freezing temps, it will probably be trecherous (sp) I'm cr ap at spelling, in the morning. Have you seen my cat thread?

Where abouts are you TU?

It started at 4.00pm and now we have a good few inches.  Looks like the kids will be home tomorrow, now I need to decide whether to bother to set the alarm. What do you think?  

SS73 I was under the impression that the Alps had snow already????? Glad you have it now though  

It started snowing here in the deux sevres at about 4.00 pm this afternoon.  Everywhere is now completely white and still falling.

I have two male cats, both are 18 months and have been snipped.  Since last Friday, we have had another male cat visit us.  I don't think he is wild, as he comes up to the door and he seems friendly enough with my two.  He looks as though he could do with a good brush and a bit of TLC.  He does make an awful meowing sound which is very loud.  I know he is male because over the past two days he has been coming into our veranda and spraying, it stinks. My problem is, that we have a glass veranda which I leave open for my cats to come in and out of.  They eat and sleep in there and only come into the house when we let them in.  This other cat, Ginger, original yes I know, is also using this veranda as his new home.  I am very happy to feed and care for him, as he seems friendly towards my cats, but he is very scared of me and the kids. I don't think I can catch him at the moment, other wise I would do this and take him to the vets.  Any suggestions? Thanks Dotty  

Here in the Deux Sevres it has been threatening to snow for the past couple of days.  As I'm typing this its come over all cloudy.  I do love the snow but am dreading driving to school tomorrow, especially if the forecast is correct, its due to snow all afternoon and evening, then be -5 tomorrow.  

Many thanks I now a a huge list of contact numbers.

Hya Twinks, can't help I'm afraid. Where's Chris Head gone as well.

Just been reading this thread.  Can anyone tell me under what name I can find employment agencies in the pages jaune? Many thanks

Sonia My local supermarkets have a sale on at the moment for baby equipment, not sure how much gates/barriers are, but they may be cheaper at the moment. Dotty

And singing with Twinkle

When we moved here in July 2005 we didn't have any form of tv, just videos and dvds.  The kids and I were very content and our first winter we read and reread every book we had. This winter though as I'm here with the kdis by myself, I really felt I needed something to imersre myself into once the kids were in bed.  This is often not until 10pm as my kids are young teenagers, but just for an hour is a nice way to wind down. Funnily enough the kids aren't interested in tv in English, but keep bugging me to get French tv as well.

So that's skiing with Katie and hiking with MM.  Lets see who else I can tag along on holiday with [;-)]

Ear plugs?  You big wuss

I hope you're not being Katiest as well Dick.

Will, may I ask why?

What are you two on about?

No, just a Katiest. [kiss]
