    I gave away my "posh" evening bags as I'll never need one now but have far too many handbags.  I tend to use either a black or navy one, both of which hold quite a lot of "stuff". A shoe and handbag clearance may take place shortly.

    Glad you enjoyed the rugby LB and Runners. I've been watching some of the shenanigans in the House of Commons.....

    Also gathered and chopped some leaves so the first of the leaf mould bags is underway and cut the grass. The garden always looks so much more manageable when the grass has been done🙂

    I'm looking for a regular day to day bag to replace my black leather cross-body which is now so tatty it's an embarrassment. Saw some 'Healthy Back Bags' a while ago in a shop.  It's got lots of organising compartments and you can wear it as a shoulder bag or cross-body. But the ones I saw were in micro-fibre and nylon and not really smart enough for town use. However, it seems they also do them in a nice soft black leather and that looks like a nice compromise between smartness and practicality.

    No point buying a true hand handbag - I'd only use it for funerals and 'going out'. Quite often use a small rucksack for day trips - something to put a rain jacket and camera in. Think this will be a nice step up from that.

    Pansy 😬. What are we going to do about your furry friends? I think LB may have suggested a large dog crate before. It certainly worked when we first got Harry. We were able to put him in there with his basket, a small litter tray and some water. Put a blanket over it so it was dark and he felt safe and Bertie couldn't see him unless he went looking. They sort of knew each other was there but because they couldn't see one another they weren't bothered. Lifted the blanket at feeding time so they could see one another but both more interested in stuffing their faces.

    Bit of growling and hissing but they both knew they were safe from each other. Left the blanket off for longer and longer periods as they got used to the sight and smell of another cat.

    The fact that LC has shared a home with a second cat bodes well for him adapting. I imagine Elsa may have been a lone cat so she might take a little more persuading....

    Haven't seen MU for a while. Hope she's not wallpapered herself into a room Charlie Chaplin style😁

    I love the Charlie Chaplin films.

    Been cleaning up cat vomit this afternoon. Luco's TV now going on a hot wash - the SMELL! Eurghhhhhh.

    Chicken burgers for dinner. Lush!

    Hope everyone's okay.

    OH appointment at the orthodontist went well . They are sure they can help him. Having problems with jaw shrinkage it was thought that he could need titanium posts put in his jaw .At a jaw dropping price of £10,000 for the treatment. We were both so relieved when the doc said that he could make him a denture that would fit without the posts .

    Good evening.
    One more lovely saturday is over. Just finished supper, soup leftover and bruschetta.

    I'm glad that you enjoyed in match LB.

    Rubee, 10 000₤ for treatment. You and OH were lucky this time😀.

    Tonight will be Poirot and Star trek night.

    £10,000 Rubee - badoodly hell. My hairdresser nearly fainted when she was told over £3000 for an implant - but TEN!!! Not many people can afford that sort of money without thinking twice and several times more about it.

    Thank goodness there's an alternative.

    Chey - it's not right you know. Talking about the smell of cat vomit in one sentence and then telling us what you're having for tea in the next🤮

    TBird , doc said it would have been more than a thousand pound per post .

    A colleague, when she was still teaching, a number of years ago, paid £8k for implants as her denture plate made her talk "funny" which was a problem in front of a class.

    Although it's not really the weather for it I'm going to have salad for my tea.

    At least the smell hasn't put you off your food Chey Yikes that is a scary amount of money Ruby. Having said that my Bestie paid £3,500 to have her front teeth replaced. That pales into insignificance next to your quote Ruby. Thank heaven the Dentist can come up with an alternative.
    Salad for tea Joyce - you are very brave.

    I suspect, Pansy, that you (as I did) will become an expert in the nuances of cat swearing.

    Not to worry - you’ll get there (eventually)🙂
