I decided to postpone the completion of my "project" - mainly cos I've run out of wood, oops! NB - mental note: make sure I have EVERYTHING I need before starting any future projects!
Anyway, this meant that I no longer had an excuse to put off doing the housework! Even though I was distracted for a while when Stalker Cat turned up completely drenched... obviously I had to dry him, brush him and clean his gunky eye (much to his disgust) before I could do anything else.
So, with no more excuses, I carried on with the dusting/ ironing/ hoovering/ washing etc! I cleaned and disinfected the tortoise pens, so they were all nice and clean for them to go back into (somehow I don't believe they will be too pleased about that). While I was cleaning their room, Reggie fronted up to the Dyson again!
Then all of a sudden, the Dyson cut out! I was traumatised at the thought of it dying! But then 5 minutes later, it started again... Gawd knows what was wrong with it - I can only assume that Reggie's brave move had a very profound affect on it!
Oh, and finished watching Vanished the other day, and guess what? That's been cancelled too!!!! Grrrrr! But have now started to watch The Class, which is kinda funny... half way through it, I thought, "I recognise that bloke" - and it's only Sean Bleeding Maguire!!!! I totally forgot about him!

I know my place...!
Despite my "stop banging on the window," and my "stop miaowing really loudly," and my "don't you have your own home to go to", Stalker Cat refuses to take any notice of me!
Strangely, my trusty Dyson seems to speak the same language as S.C.! I just need to switch it on, and S.C. flees!
Although I should technically be top of the pecking order in my house, it is with mixed emotions that I have realised I am below a cat that doesn't even belong to me, and a Dyson!

I am shattered
Today, I: finished cleaning the cupboards; cleared out the loft; cleaned the tortoises pens; re-laid my hallway carpet; did my ironing; did the Dyson-ing; dusted; bleached; went shopping; did a bit of weeding in between downpours; and, managed to get a bit of DVD viewing in as well! Of course, I did it ALL in the wrong order.... silly me did my dusting before clearing out the loft, and laying the carpet, so now I'll have to do that again!! Still, I now have 4 bags of rubbish, and 4 bags of recycling... so at least I know my house is a little less cluttered!
Oh, and I am getting stalked by a cat! This is the same cat that has been sneaking into my house for the last couple of weeks, when I've not been looking, and that I've had to return to my neighbour 5 times! For the last 3 days, it's sat staring at me through my patio doors, miaowing in a really annoying way, and then tapping the window pitifully! It's a bit of a weird looking thing - one of those cat's that looks like its been hit in the face with a banjo - but is kinda quite cute at the same time!
Last year, I had 2 baby hedgehogs in my garden, so I started leaving hedgehog food out for them. I haven't seen them since autumn, but I've been leaving food out for the last couple of weeks, as they should be out of hibernation by now. I thought they were still living in my garden, because the foods gone by morning. Turns out that it's been Stalker Cat that's been eating the food! This kind of works in my favour, as I've heard that cat's don't poo where they eat, and I've not had to clear any up for a couple of weeks now!
Although I have been very strong up til now, today I did the most STUPIDEST thing going.... Stalker Cat was banging on the window, crying out, and as it was raining, I made the mistake of letting him in! Then he completely manipulated me by getting all cute and cuddly, while sitting on my lap.... and I like a fool, I let him! When the rain stopped, I let him back outside, and he went home.
Only now, he's sitting outside my door again, asking to come in.... I've had to shut the blinds, and come upstairs so I can't hear him or see him, because I'm a twat with no will power, and if I stay downstairs, I'll probably give in and let him in again!!!!
I am such a pathetic soft touch - now you can see why my tortoises run rings round me!

Tips for tortoise owners, part one
Do not let them walk on a floor which you are trying to sweep - they find it HIGHLY amusing to charge through the little pile of dust etc before you can scoop it into the dustpan! I, however, did not find this funny! Watch out for the return of the Dyson!
