She usually runs away and hides up the top of a tree when we have to treat her for anything.

Sadly not. The front ones she keeps in decent nick, but the back ones get no real usage. Its clippin' time for the old gal

Evening folks.

Lots of research today, no physical labour.

I can see an L405 coming, with loads of wine, women and song coming as I will be dammed if the tax man is getting all the fun
.

still got a few years yet to work it out.

Good luck with that then.
I wouldn’t even want to get either of ours in a cat box, let alone prolong it be trying to clip claws.

I think I'd just pay the vet as it seems good value to me.

But I am really poor [in judgement and many other things] financially and so hacking them off with a blunt rusty spoon seems to be non-negligent.
If the cat really goes bananas we can do one paw at a time over a couple of days.
She really is ripping herself to shreds, so it has to be done.

Due to the day being a write off weather wise I was left with no options but to put up the new blinds for the boss. She got me some of those plasterboard crush fixing and what a pita - covered in dust, damn things are a pain and I had the totally tidy the room afterwards…I hate DIY

Ahhh... thems bastids.
If its not rude to ask how big was the hole in the plasterboard?
If it was 10mm then I prefer the Fischer plugs for that job. https://www.screwfix.com/p/fischer-...8ZPLB9y7hbz2EnVrGcxoCJiIQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

Destructions said 9mm, I only had an 8mm to hand. First 2 spun in the board trying to get the metal to collapse. The next four went in with a tap from a hammer and behaved better.

The screw heads are very soft and distorte rather easily anorl.

I normally use a ratchet & different bolt to collapse these.once squashed in place use the correct screw

Double salad for tea tonight…
Oh & kebab meat

We had a Tesco curry tonight. It's actually my birthday today (despite what my profile may say lol) but because the FiL has to go into hospital on Monday we have to isolate over the weekend.
I have decided to celebrate properly when once we are in the new place

Eye finks them fings is only for brick and concrete fixing. The 4 wings bend out as yer tighten em up, to grip the hole.
