      Wife and I are part of a group trapping rescuing, neutering and rehoming stray cats locally. A friend recently said someone dumped 2 cats on their freeholding where they have donkeys, goats, chickens etc. Well those 2 cats have suddenly turned into a colony. We’ve managed to grab 6 6-8 week old kittens whilst they were eating and put them in a carrier and trap some more.

      Now we have 6 little kittens and need to trap the rest before they breed more. Unfortunately they need taming as they’re super pretty but also very hissy. People who dump animals esp unneutered ones are evil. I’ll say this the lady concerned certainly doesn’t have a mouse or rat problem now at least.

      The amount of food kittens eat is frightening we just raised 7 kittens from birth from 2 stray and I had to bottle feed them every 2 hours before they were weened but once on adult food that’s hundreds of pounds a month in food as they eat so much

      So yesterday was local party on the pastures event, dog show, bluey characters, punch and Judy and loads more so we spent all day there doing a teddy tombola and made nearly £200

      One of the other ladies did a tombola in the village hall and raised another £120.

      So I’m thinking, day in bed I’m really tired in pain and I keep getting terrible headaches. So what happens 5am wife finds our 19 year old crying on the bathroom floor he’s in so much pain he can’t move, so empty car from yesterday and drive 30 miles to hospital at warp 9 (yes it was fast as I’ve never heard him scream in pain before)

      Can you believe that time of day there are still a holes on the road, I was overtaking and a tesla decides to pull out and nearly side swipes me, how? Thought those things had cameras and computers?

      Then another guy decides merge in turn at traffic lights means get up the ass of the car in front and try to ram you off the road (jokes on them I used 30 yards of bus lane and under took them as was an emergency and they forced me into that lane with their stupidity.

      Now at hospital my son was booked in in a few minutes, obs done whilst I booked him in and moved into a cubicle inside 3 minutes. Within 20 mins he’s in surgical assessment unit with a canula and bit of rope stopping him floating away he’s on so much morphine.

      Theyre thinking appendicitis.

      Typical the lad had a job interview in Norwich today for bartender.

      I just wanted a day in bed to rest waaaaah lol oh dear

          Oh I hate people, that’s why I do voluntary work with cats, at least if they hate you you know it. The last litter of kittens I’d have all 7 of them climbing all over me purring their butt’s off.

          Wish the wife would pass her test cos I hate driving these days.

          A&E were BRILLIANT! Booked him in whilst I gave details they did his obs and got him in a cubicle as he was screaming in pain in under 10 mins they had a canula and morphine in him.

          Another 10 mins he’s out of A&E and in a bed in surgical assessment unit, hooked up to an antibiotics IV and more morphine.

          Waiting on blood tests, urine tests (he couldn’t pee too much pain been now) and now a CT scan but my God have they moved fast this morning.

          They suspect appendicitis right now so could be surgery later today depending on the scan result

          Thanks for asking

          Poor lad right after finding out he got a Distinction on his T level the equiv of 3 A’s at A level and he’s been accepted at the UEA for MEng Mechanical Engineering.
