Sleeping Choices Of a Ninja Cat

I'm beginning to feel the fun again.

Though I have a burning problem and that is Rollie 'Ninja' cat he isn't normal ,after all what is normal and normal can be boring., heavens if I was normal wouldn't your life be dull. Just to clarify a burning problem isn't that he tries to set fire to the house although he has been known to turn on the gas on the cooker.

As the song goes "Where ever I lay my cat is my home "

There could have been a slight change on words there , possibly who knows. All I do know that my cat Rollie fights authority every step of the way so much so it hinders my very need to wash up. I watched that rather good program on BBC about the life of cats about how they time phase so they avoid each other, us human beans do that as well except we block on twitter . Thus achieving the same self pleasing satisfaction when we have avoided a social pariah or other one very annoying, and so and so forth.

We tried to give Rollie security by giving him an igloo bed where he had feel all safe, snug and secure and avoid the tweets about how evil he is and the Facebook notifications of life hacks , and you won't believe what he did posts. He killed the bed.




We tried to appeal to his inner cuddly kitten that he must surely have and show us he is not all pet cemetery cat , so we were given a heated igloo cat bed  this is now for sale and as the housing market is up and down, we aren't sure if this is going to sell.



We tried playing classic FM at Rollie to calm the inner beast but I think he prefers Motor Head , Alice Cooper and ZZ top , and if he ever hears of you mentioning to anyone or cat that he hums along to" inch inch worm inch measuring the marigolds" OH * Rollie is gesturing a claw across his throat , I think it means he is hungry * bless

Above all else Rollie love sleeping either on the edge of the sink , in the sink or on the sink rack.





"Normal."


You need cats to be normal haven't you not learnt that us cats us training you , you think the bond villain was in charge oh no my friend it was the cat , anyhow I must go my 1.30 claw manicure will be  here  soon" clears throat  "laugh with me '

The Benefits of Soft Play Mission Wraps

Mission wraps have launched their new super soft wraps and in conjunction with this we were sent a bean bag of giant proportions. Just like Mission wraps you are encased in a softness , so much so I'm super relaxed about my house as I'm now even more due to resting in the bean bag.





Now when you mention soft play to it can conjure up a hellish play centre which is the lament of many a harassed parent throughout the land, now not all soft play centres are like these. Now when my son used to go to play centres, I enjoyed going down the slides whilst I was looking after him , it was when ! * it really was.

Now he is older I no longer going down slides and jump into big beans or jump from giant soft  frog to giant soft frog that was until I got a giant bean bag than I could leap into. leaping into a giant bean bag I feel like a kid again and it is really important me for to relax as I work in a school and sitting on small chairs can leave your back somewhat creaking.  I come home sometimes feeling like the tin man out of the wizard of oz with my joint needing oiling but screeching out on this and sinking into the softness soothes all my aches, creaks and pains away.

OnAMission  from Mission wraps is to  to show the UK how important soft play can be for adults, not just kids.

Soft Play is important whether you are 4 or 94

Why soft play?
Somewhere along the road from childhood, many of us have stopped playing and it may be more likely that you’ll find us watching TV or playing on a tablet. With the hectic lives we lead, we need to find a way to take our minds off work and family commitments and have fun!
Existing research shows that play can be an important source of relaxation and stimulation for adults. It can also be a fun way to fuel your imagination, creativity, problem-solving abilities, and improve your mental health.


In conjunction Mission Deli wraps as well as the bean bag , I was also sent some Mission Deli wraps which were delicious!  You can find lots of exciting recipes on the Mission Deli website here.  To keep up to date with all of the latest news from Mission Deli you can follow them on Facebook and Twitter.



I always like to have Mission wraps in for an enjoyable tea , an amazing meal at anytime of the day from breakfast to supper, I like to sneak hidden goodness into my wraps ! sash don't tell

Gallery Lead Me To The Light

You'd have suspected this week to lend itself to the lighting of Halloween pumpkins , but no so here! This week is also about the shafts of autumn light for me.



The trees are natures canvas and I love to see the changes , the beautiful light always about the light. The dabbled light , the sun flares and so forth.

Light gives and it also takes away but light comes to reveal again.

Perhaps a leaf has taken a journey downwards , fluttering, spiralling, twirling leading a butterfly dance.




What light do you see objects and people in ?

First The Tea Then You're Flapjacked


Friday I was free it was an inset day , I am a creature of habit when it comes to the necessary social niceties ~ that of the cup of tea. 


All hail.


The cup of tea , trouble is that it can lure you into a flapjack , the scandal, you purely go into for a cup of tea and wham bam ~ you are flapjacked.


Awwh.

It's a crime.

My reckoning is tea is a cunning fox , educated at the university of cunning ( Blackadder interlude ) when you have tea then you are a bunny in the headlights. You are sitting quite innocently and then next thing you know a wedge of cake is in your hand.

So next time you reach for a cup of tea , beware ~ 

I'm off for a dangerous cup of tea ~

Must Have Gift Set Anniversary Flowers From Debenhams Flowers

The I was ectastic when last week Debenhams contacted me and asked would I like to review some flowers from their luxury anniversary flowers range, I said "yes, i would be delighted to. This was excellent timing as last week was my actual anniversary and I celebrated 17 years of being married 17 years I can't believe it. And my house looks very much like a florist with all the flowers that are about. I eagerly awaited my flower delivery from Debenhams 

I like being treated and when flowers come with an additional gift of a spa set then it allows the specialness of the occasion to continue on. I selected the  bouquet 'Must Have Gift Set'  and to my utter delight this arrived promptly on Saturday 25th October. 



A beautiful display which came via the postman in a special box, the flowers were adequately secured and were wrapped with one of those damp wraps around the stems instead of an aqua bag filled with water which I would have preferred to see. I had to revive the roses using the boiling water method but this was no hard ship as cut flowers are prone to this and i can look to a beautiful elegant display for many days to come. I would have like to seen the round bowl on offer that you see in the picture , the flowers you see in the picture on the website are the extra large size , the size I received was the standard.



Debenhams flowers have kindly allowed me to offer you my dedicated readers a discount code which is:

 DFBLOG25 


This entitles your readers to 25% off a luxury bouquet. The only bouquets exempt from the discount is the Flowers By Post range. However, this is only a small range. Debenhams are 100% happy for this discount code to be published on social media and my blog post. 


  
My cat Jack doesn't like to feel left out so he helped be unpack the roses and is utterly delighted with his gift of the cardboard box and doesn't he look fetching with the addition of the ribbon, the must have accessory for cats this season.





Product - Must Have Gift Set - http://www.debenhamsflowers.com/occasions/flowers-by-occasion/anniversary-flowers/must-have-gift-set these flowers are £39.99




Disclosure I was sent these flowers in exchange for a review :My review is honest and all opinions are my own , I wasn't told what to write.

I have been asked to add this by Jack the cat


"Many thanks to the humans of Debenhams for my cardboard box to sit/sleep in, the box was  sturdy and it was top notch and purple is very much on trend. And to include ribbon for me to play with as well stroke of marketing genius "

The cat is also unbiased in his opinion : his word is the law  paw.
