I left my 'phone upstairs while I got ready (shower, breakfast etc) this morning. Emerged from the bathroom to find my slightly hysterical mother letting herself into my house with a key, having woken a friend to get her to drive her round because I hadn't answered her call...
I soothed her and calmed her, and we've since had a chat about panic and maybe more appropriate timescales for panic (ie half hour without a response at 8am isn't cause for alarm.)
Hmm.
In other news we drove to East Harling (50 miles approx) to deliver a car full (literally, boot, footwells, back seats packed solid) of donations to a Cat Rescue centre. (http://www.felinecare.org.uk/) They do a fantastic job and the sanctuary itself is a little oasis of cattitude. Many of the cats roam free, mingling with the free range chooks and three legged rescue dog and it's lovely. So we save up our declutter and take it there in car loads. Today's donations included all my old vinyl (bye bye Culture Club, Duran Duran, Erasure and Paul Young), as well as a ton of bags, bedding, books and "stuff", Mum's share included bags and bags of clothes and ceramic flowerpots. Oh and over 150 of newspaper dvds!
The declutter continues and since getting home I've already spotted a couple of overlooked books and started the new Cattery pile!
