Some really expensive certificates.  At least they have nice calligraphy.

A cat fountain.

Pump went on the fur kids fountain.

Got a nice deal on a much better one.

It's different.
Different is not good.
They are drinking out of a bowl, circling it, and glaring at me now.

Damn furry little ass pies. :roar:
Our cat Liam used to only drink out of the bathroom sink tap and sometimes we would accidentally leave it running. The first fountain we bought him was a failure - it just had water bubbling from the middle of it. The second fountain has been much better as it has a running stream of water. Kayleigh put it on the bathroom bench next to the sink. Liam loves it.

Groceries.

And some handmade tatting spools. Thought it was time to learn something new.  :nerdy:

I want a two weeks progress report.

I tried that about 7+ years ago when I found a lot of them at a rummage sale. Ending up selling them on fleabay two months later...what a mess that was.  :LOL:

Hope you have better luck. :thumbup:

Here's the two weeks report.

First attempts were miserable, mainly because I got interrupted with big things when trying.

Here is what I fiddled the past two days. Most of it yesterday, during small breaks in housekeeping.



Going really slow. Once it goes smooth, I can speed up a bit, I hope.

WTF is that?

Bought two bags of 'soft eating liquorice'
Short (about one inch each) lengths of soft black liquorice. Bout two bags of that from my local pharmacy whilst waiting for a script to be filled. And a 'chupa-chups' candy lollypop,, the price of which I didn't QUITE have so I now owe that pharmacist 4 pence.

Bought a bottle of that really delicious rose-spiked fentiman's fermented nonalcoholic lemonade. Got one glass one of that bottle plus a little left to drink down in one big swallow.
Plus, while I didn't buy it, I have just BEEN bought a fried fish in batter and some chips. Just heating it in the MW now (I was fast asleep before, just woke up, lying on the sofa when it got here, just tucking in now, with a bottle each of irn bru and some coke.)


Mmmm *buuurrrrp*
That was good. Just finished munching that down. My old man just went and got the family a fish&chip supper. Already had the drinks. That filled a dirty great yawning chasm, yum, that was really good.
Beyond the pale. Way, way beyond the pale.
