Trying to Take a Multiple Cat Picture

There comes a point in multi cat ownership ,where the planets align and you are able to actually achieve a picture of the cats you own .

I own 2 cats.


Not difficult you think to get a picture of the 2 together ~ wrong .


They are like humans in each and every way , the best of friends and the worst of friends.



The below picture has taken 4 weeks, 4 long weeks to achieve as if a cat doesn't want o sit with another cat it flipping well won't. They sit together in the garden or on the stairs where they very often trip us up ,also sitting together staring longingly into their feeding bowls.






This is the last week for :





You can enter online here  or using the hashtag #petsinwindows via twitter.

You can follow Everest Home Improvements on Twitter and Facebook to keep up to date on their latest deals and offers, and should also check out their top quality double glazing.







Disclosure ~ No cats were made to do any housework in this post. The cats are being compensated for this campaign as I am ~ except I won't be chasing a ping pong ball round the living room.

Creating Your Own Holiday At Home

Holidays we all need them after all it is our reward for all out hard work in the real world ,the escape from reality is a welcome break from the mundane only issue money is tight . We need not jet off to the Caribbean ( please believe me ) there are activities you can do at  home to give your self that holiday life.We all need to have special treat whilst having out holiday at home which is how Carpetright think as well . One of my ideas is having a tea party , so what about hosting a Mad Hatter's Tea party ?


Mad Hatter's Tea Party 

The wonderful thing  about a Mad Hatter's tea party is that you can use it for any meal of the day what ever time you wish it to be. I had my Mad Hatter's breakfast mid afternoon  and utterly superb it was too.













Relax in the garden with a glass of wine wearing your holiday sandals of course.






Buy your favourite childhood ice cream ~ I love a Big Foot !!




Appease the weather Gods with an offering of homemade scenes with jam and clotted Cornish cream, debate with friends if the jam should go on first then the cream or the reverse.





Visit an underpass art gallery , no charge completely free.





Bake a carrot cake , cake makes everything right especially with a nice cup of strong tea.



Shadow disco dance , this is a very competitive sport and takes many years of practice !



Have a oven baked scotch in a field of course , it's the latest hipster trend and undoubtly has its own hashtag .... probably.




Take yourself back in time with a romantic sunset watch on your home holiday.



Can't get to Ascot to wear a hat , save your money wear a fetching hat and watch Ascot in the comfort of your own home !




Have cake in the woods ~ taking a teddy bear is optional , I did he was too shy to appear on camera however.



Create an unique piece of art in your dishwasher , look for fun every where !






Take an adventure ~ channel your inner adventurer.





Take holiday pictures at every opportunity!



Above all you can have fun at home #holidayathome

Taking A Trip to Help Yourself

When you've depression it really doesn't leave you , you can come through and keep moving forward. This is important to move forward , my humour helps and my friends and photography .



And a little chat on Twitter can break order to my mind as there is many people in similar situations.

If you blow the panic whistle on social media then people will help on social media. I know there's a bad side to this as well but I focus on the good . I have been in the bad side of social media and really now I only want the good .

Depression is like a volcano you never really know when it will strike , it feels at times like being on the edge of a precipice.

You can come through it ,but I know the signs of when I need help which is self care nowadays.

 

Just because I've got depression it doesn't mean I'm sad all the time.

Jack In The Box

"I'm Jack In The Box"

No really it is , his name is Jack. 

Cats love a box
Cats in boxes!

"Hello cat boxes how may I help you ?"


A truely modern cat has his paws on the pulse of society ~

Does the cat choose the box or does the box choose the cat ?

I really suspect some where in the world there is a university paper on this , it could indeed solve the problems of modern society. 

A box is a cat vessel.

I've heard the Milk Tray man is coming back ~ too late mate as us ladies would have brought them on special offer anyway. Also we are a tad more independent as well so unless you're delivering a cat/kitten in that box then no thank you .

And all because the lady loves a cat in the box ....

Blogger Liscensed To Whim

What I have learnt this week


I have learnt this week that time is moving to quick and that I would like to very ,such slowing it down , I am not one for gushing statements but I am a practical with a soft heart. And My son got  excellent GCSE result A  A A*  B B B B C  I am confidant of the care home I will be put in when I am older.



I see and hear things that I don't wish to and really wish people would be kinder to each other  you only have one life and you need to live each day with kindness and passion. I try and give thought always to others , I don't spread myself too thing nowadays. I don't jump on every available bandwagon that comes along.


I know for a certain fact I blooming need to move about more and that I need to get moving to exercise , I know this fact as a pair of trousers did in fact try and kill me this week.


I feel the need to put some fun back into blogging so next week , not quite sure what I will do yet but I have a plan up my sleeve maybe .


Today has been such a busy day with popping off off Warwick Castle at the last minute you spend all the years dragging your kids out , the day you want a rest they drag you out. Thank heavens for the off I had through O2 priorities offering me half price tickets to Warwick Castle. Of which I am grateful as one of the finest Medieval castles does seem to be descending into some sort of theme park. I really think in today's society less is more upon arriving we were directed to the over flow carpark when it was a 20 minute walk to actually get into the castle. Of course before you go and sort your tickets out don't forget to get your £6 car parking token .

If you were actually to turn up on the day to the castle they would relief you of £24.95 per adult and for children  luckily it cost us £14.95 to get in otherwise I think I would have had to cough up a lung. Asides the nickles of price to get in and the fact they at every 5 metres will offer you archery £5 or be  knight £5 etc I feel at these activities could be cheaper and no so in your face in what otherwise is an almighty stunning location.

This is obviously where if funds and time ( being a Merlin pass holder (the really important factors) pays dividens as those who have this are going to feel tremendous value with all the attraction you can visit.



How the jousting is viewed seems to be different unless it is changed for evening events (when of which I remember going to about 13 years ago )

We were only on a flying visit getting there by 11.45 and leaving by 3.30 as my son had a football match and then we are off to a Chinese buffet.
