I have been talking to a young Singaporean student about plastic jeans, introdicing her to the concept of 'mardy', and discussing when to use 'ass' vs 'arse'. How wonderful the Internet is.

Now the sun's come out, but it's really black over on the horizon and heading this way. Cats are crashed out like someone's took their batteries out and I'm sat in my onesie watching the snooker. Got soaked putting the mower back in the garage so figured I could get changed into something comfy.
Don't need to cook tonight. Have some chicken thighs left in the fridge and the balance of yesterday's vegetable crumble. All I need to do is fill a plate and pop it in the microwave.

I'm safe there. I haven't got anything to scam. Not that I'm being complacent.

I was trying to do some general sort of household admin type of stuff this morning, but could not find a vital, very vital, Most Important Letter. As luck would have it, I spoke to a very helpful lady at the relevant office, and it is sort of sorted out, without my having The Letter in front of me.
For more months than I care to admit, I have had very good intentions of sorting out my filing cabinet but it is jammed full of papers, and very disorganised. So I decided to start new folders for Important Papers etc, like car tax, MOT and insurance etc, so at least the most recent stuff is organdised and findable. These new folders are labelled and in a large box altogether.
I thought that decades ago, we were supposed to be moving into the paperless age.
If I leave all the paperwork in the cabinet for another two years, perhaps I can just shred it all, rather that needing to look at again.
I can hear you asking if I eventually found that Very Important Letter. Yes I did, in the first place that I looked for it.
How did I miss it the first time around?

An argument is about to start. Bob is sat by my feet on the footstool. Tasha is now sat on my lap. When Bob wakes up and realises she is there, there will be fireworks.

Oh, I have a stack of slates lurking in the garage if I'm in the mood to be poncy, but they don't exactly fit in the microwave.

Oh bugger. The missus has seen a kitten on facebook and has contacted the seller. It's a 'ragdoll' !
They are bringing it round shortly as the person who did buy it has decided she want's a girl cat (this is a boy). Only down side it's £450 for a cat !!! WTF.
Oh well. We had 3 cats, but are down to just the one now, who is 10. She's a bit of a bruiser at 6kg, but male 'ragdolls' can be 6kg - 9kg - it's one of the biggest domestic cats.

I'd stay well clear unless this is from a reputable breeder. £450 is on the cheap side for a ragdoll tbh.
Do ask for a five generation pedigree and the pink slip - if you don't get that, walk away. And if the kitten is less than 13 weeks old, also walk away.
This may be above board, but my alarm bells are ringing if they're bringing the kitten round to yours. Ideally, you should be going to the breeder's place and seeing mum - and dad if this person has their own stud cat, as well as the environment the kitten has come from. My breeder friends give prospective owners a thorough vetting before allowing their kittens to leave.
If your missus is set on a raggie, I can put you in touch with a very good ragdoll breeder based in Manchester xxx if she doesn't have kittens, she'll know someone who will xxx
