Despite requests im not going to dwell on the wobbly head as its now cleared up a bit, that and my incredible sore throat. Im am now left with projectile snot. (oh what a ladylike image. I am currently sneezing for Brittain, but am so glad my throat is no longer sore as that is the worst pain (cold wise).
Anyway in ref to the title. I cant believe how upset i was and it made me want to give my own cats a huge hug when i finally got home.
On Thursday i dropped Jono off at his friends as it was pub night that some of the lads go to twice a month. Before i went home i decided to pop to the local Morrisons to see if they had some pre cooked wedges so go with the home made lasagne i had made. I managed amazingly to get the last tray. Picked up another couple of bits and then headed home.
I was driving down the main road just before turning into where i live and noticed something in the road with its legs in the air. As i slowed down i noticed it was a cat and there was about 8 cars coming in the opposite direction. The first car drove past the cat (wheels either side so missed him) and then the second car managed to stop just intime.
We both got out of our cars. It was two young lads and considering young lads seemed to get such a chavy reputation lately, these two were lovely and made sure i didnt need their help before driving off. Before they did though i got a couple of bags out of my car to use as gloves to move the cat to the side of the road. There still seemed to be some slight movement from the cat. We then both moved our cars so that the traffic could keep moving. There was also a couple walking past who also offered help which was so lovely and shows that on the whole we can be a caring society.
When i first took our cats to the vets i noticed an out of hours number to ring with any vet problems. I happened to have put it into my phone that day and was so pleased i did as this is the number i rang. As soon as they answered i got really weapy and had to appologise as i felt such a wuss. They said they didnt collect animals but i could take the cat to them.
I didnt think the cat would survive as there was lots of blood but i thought atleast the owners would know sooner rather than later what had happened to their cat.
In my previous blog i had mentioned the box of CDs in the back of the car. This again was perfect timing as i was then able to pour the CDs out of the box to them gently place the cat in it instead. By this point i was absolutly crying. I cant believe how upset i was but i supose seeing anything suffer causes upset. I have no idea how people can be cruel to animals and not be effected by it.
The place i had to take the cat to was the other side of the city. I wasnt sure where it was until i got close to it and then remembered i had seen it before.
By the time i had got their the cat had died but they were able to see he had a micro chip so the owners would be able to be told.
The staff at the PDSA were amazing and i will definatly praise them up to people whenever i get the chance.
I finally got home about 9.20 and spoke to my mom on the phone. She was very understanding when i started crying again. I dread to think what i will be like if anything happens to my own cats. While on the phone they both in turn jumped on my lap for a cuddle which was just what i needed.
As an aside i still have all the CDs in the boot of the car. I hope i dont get stopped by the police as it will look like i have been on the rob. It is definatly an incentive to go after work on Monday and will be taking them to the PDSA charity shop.
Other than that its been such a quiet week as i have been poorly for most of it. So sick of being poorly now.
I took a friend wardrobe shopping on Wednesday morning but have been poorly for the rest of the week so had to cancel meeting up with some friends for coffee on friday and also had to cancel my dentist appointment.
I also missed out on my eye appointment as i was late so they wouldnt see me. It wasnt a wasted journey though as i also went there to do the weekly shop. ASDA optitions are actually really good (apart from this time though obviously).
I was also gutted on Tuesday aswell as i got a parking ticket grrrrr. I decided to go swimming at 8am and parked where i normally do not realising it was restricted at that time of day. They must have watched me as they got me practically as i walked into the pool building. I did think it was strange i was the first person to park there but thought nothing more of it. I know i have been trying to go swimming to lose weight but it wasnt the kind of 30 pound i was looking to lose

Being a wussy over an unknown pussy
Preachers Wife
We currently have a big box of CDs & books that i am meant to be taking to the charity shop. Some friends of ours are getting rid of some stuff and as it was getting cluttered at said friends and Jono’s work, Jono decided to bring it home for us to take to the charity shop. That sounded so much more complicated that it actually is. Anyway, i decided to have a bit of a rumage round and ended up keeping about 12 books. I decided not to look through the CDs as i would probably want to keep most of them. I have finally put the box in the car when i spotted in the box ‘The Preachers Wife’ Soundtrack. I am currently listening to it while writing this and loving it. Its reminding me of the Gospel Choir im in and how much i love being part of it.
I cant sing along though as i have a horrible sore throat and wobbly head. Oh well atleast it didnt start next week as im back next week.
I was trying to work out how much i have actually worked this year and scarily its not much. The joy of working at the University. I didnt start back until the 3rd week in Jan so that is 3 weeks holiday. Then i was back a week and a half and then i was off 3.5 weeks having my Gallbladder out. I was then back 3 weeks and ive been off the last 2 weeks for Easter. Im then back for about 8 weeks and then finish for the summer. Im hoping they give me a proper contract soon so that i can get paid for the holidays. Even if the contract doesnt start till September i can just find agency work until then. I just dont want to keep working from term to term not being sure what is happening. Oh well, will have to see what they say when i go back next week.
Im currently trying to figure out how to do Jono’s birthday cake. I have a great idea and just need to do a practice one to see if it will work. Its the first time in ages we have been able to celebrate his birthday near the actual date as it usually falls in the middle of Easter so a lot of people are away. Its his 30th aswell so that makes it even better. We are going to one of his favourite pubs for a pie and ale evening next friday. It should be really good and then on the Monday (his actual birthday) just the two of us are going out for a meal.
Right im going to get the ironing done so that i can spend the rest of the afternoon relaxing and watching Brothers & Sisters. Really enjoying it and glad its on everyday. Im also working my way through ‘Our friends in the North’ which my dad has been trying to get me to watch for ages.

Im so British!
This morning i was on the bus to work and as a woman walked past me she trod on my food. I then proceeded to say ’sorry’. Why did i do that? She trod on my foot. To make it worse although she said sorry first, when i said it aswell, she said " no worries" ?????????? Such a British thing to do. Its like if we go into a shop for example and ask for something. Even if they dont have it we still say "Ok Thankyou". We are a strange bunch.
In other news. It was so good to be back at choir last night. They are such an amazing group of women and i really love singing and spending time with them all.

Exciting Times
Last Monday i finally was able to go back to work which was a relief. I was looking forward to having my day at work finish at 1.30pm rather than at 1.30pm think "hmmm i really must think about getting dressed".
On the Sunday night i hadnt slept well so by the time i got home on the Monday i was really tired and needed a little kip on the sofa.
On the Tuesday we were having a friend round for tea. She is part of our new Cluster and she is going to Cat Sit for us next weekend while we are down at my parents. Not sure why i have put Cat Sit in capitals but it seems ‘nice’, if not actually ‘right’ to do so.
I decided to make a nice veggies stew. I was either going to make dumplins or seseme scones to go with it. We normally add grated cheese to our stew once its in our bowls so decided to make cheese scones as a change. I managed to over cook them though but i had also brought a crusty loaf so we had that instead and the grated cheese.
On Friday i had a dentist appointment. I thought it was wierd that on our calender in the kitchen it said there was another appointment on the 28th March. It wasnt for Jono so just crossed it out. I got off the bus early to walk to the dentist as it was quicker and easier than collecting the car and trying to find a parking space by the dentist. I was early so had a quick look round the shops before heading there and once i did found out that the 28th March was my actual appointment and id put it in my diary wrong. ( I bet you all saw that ending coming ha ha)
On Friday evening we were out with a our new cluster for a meal at a pub near us. It was a lovely evening apart from them forgetting to bring Jono’s food out. What i think happened although Jono doesnt agree is that, they did actually bring Jono’s food out the same time as mine but someone else in our group took it. Im guessing then the kitchen would have then thought that our order was finished with and then when the next order was being brought out, they would have seen the one meal there so thought he was sorted. I think it sounded possible but we decided to agree to disagree.
On Saturday Jono’s parents game to visit for the afternoon. We went to buy our potato’s ready to ‘Chit?’ and also to get some onions etc for the allotement. We then took them to Castleton for lunch and had a quick walk round. Would have done more but it was freezing. We then headed back home with them and his dad and Jono did some work in the garden and me and his mom repotted some plants and chitted the potatoes.
That evening we went out for a curry with some of the other people in our alloment association. It was the first proper curry id had in ages and although it was lovely it was a bit spicy.
Sunday morning we didnt go to church as on the first Sunday in the month our cluster go for a walk. It was a 5.5 mile walk around Loxley. I wasnt sure if i would be able to do it but i no i would have felt worse if i didnt try. Especially after going out for 3 meals over the previous 2 days ha ha. It was a bit tiring going up the hills but it was great fun and using my new walking pole really did make all the difference.
Last night though my legs started to stiffen up and so i had a bath to try to relax them. After my bath though i still had to use my pajama leg though to hold on to so i could move my leg into a different position. Its just on the inside of my right thigh which is painful. Its still hurting today but hopefully it will go in a couple of day as i dont want to be put off going next month.
Tonight im finally going back to choir. It feels like ages since i have been so it will be great to see everyone
Right id better get back to work as the post as just arrived and there is loads of it.
