are 2 black cats luckier than 1?

I found 2 black cats mewling at my kitcen door this morning.
One was gorgeous fluffy and big and the other was smaller and sleek, but they were obviously together, and they had collars and bells.
I've not seen them before, and they seemed to think that they lived with me, so i think they must have only just moved into the area and had mistaken the garden.
Jo got all scared cos they kept trying to get in and looking all sad and soulful.
I don't know why she's scared of cats.
:(
And I just wanted to go and cuddle them.
I keep telling myself that I'm not a big animal person, but secretly i miss my cats.
I doubt that Dave would let me have any more though.
Specially as Jo is so funny with them.

If they are still around tonight I will see if there are any contact details on their collars.
Not because I want to give them a hug you understand, just cos I'm being a concerned neighbour.
:D

math

Its a bit much when, in order to help my daughter with her math homework she has to explain to me the method by which we she has to get to the answer.
I wish they'd stop changing how they teach.
Its not even as if she doesn't understand the traditional method cos when I show her how i used to do the same sum she grasps it immediately.
And yet the roundabout way that she has to write the sum down and show her workings confuses her.
:(

Happy Happy happy

Its finished.
I love it.
I feel like a puppy who's discovered his tail for the first time....all I want to do is get a good look at it so I keep squirming round to try and get a good look.
: D

Woo : D

Lots of good things today.

I bought:
2 big dangly black spiders with 8 foot legs.
Some orange and black ballons.
2 big spiders webs to go on the walls
A spooky ghostly shape light display.

I arranged to borrow a smoke machine.

I looked up some greusome recipes like bath water potion, and deadmens fingers and maggot suprise.

I arranged to leave work early on the day of the party.

I found out that one of my friends got engaged on a romantic holiday.

I found out another friend got offered a job.

I listened to a hilarious radio broadcast about internet porn.

I discovered that 5 of the things I'm selling on ebay have bids on them, and loads of people watching.

I got my latest box from the Chocolate Tasting Club full of gorgeous fresh chocolates.

I am a happy bunny.
: D

What have I let myself in for?

The littlest girlie's birthday falls smack bang in the middle of the main school hols and so her birthday party has to be either way before the event itsself, or as soon as they go back [ resulting in everyone thinking she's a year older than she is ].

This year we just haven't been organised enough, and although I took her and a friend to the design museum to make surfing related goodies [ t shirts/flip-flops/necklaces ]as a birthday treat i haven't organised an actual party for her.

So......
In a soft moment....
I agreed that she can have a Halloween costume party instead.

Am i stupid or what?
