I hope that mum turns up. She may be off courting! She would come back in a day or two if that's the case. I really home that they can all be rescued, especially the kittens as they need looking after.

OMG Freddy gave me a right scare last night ☹️ I think he had a panic attack. I heard him making a funny noise on the stairs and he was being sick it was actually a fur ball that he brought up but it got stuck in his throat and he started to panic his breath got really fast and he even pooped bless him ☹️ After he brought it up his breathing was just so fast so I sat with him for a while just stroking him and his breathing started to slow down I was panicking too I have never seen him do this before. I put him in his room and left him for a while to come around and kept checking him . After a while he seemed fine and he came downstairs and he seems absolutely fine this morning thank goodness.😊

Poor Freddy & you chantel. To see Freddy like that must have been really scary, but a stuck furball causing him some breathing problems must have really panicked him. It's bad enough listening to one of ours heaving away but that's it not coming up rather than getting stuck. To have pooped as well he really must have been straining. You did well to stay calm despite panicking inside, I'd have been seriously thinking about grabbing the phone & ringing the vet! Glad to hear that Freddy seems none the worse today from his panic. On an aside I see I'm not the only one who has a room for her cat - in my case for Lexie for food & sleep to save the other 2 from losing out.

Yes it was very scary tonib - I was so close to calling the vet but I think hubby being there held me back really- he said just let him calm down and I sat with him but it did take a while for his breathing to really slow down ☹️ It was originally sindy’s room she took it over to give her own space from phoebe at the time - she was very nervous and from then on it seems to have stayed a room for Freddy although it’s more a cat crèche 😊Elsa seems to spend a lot of time up there when we are at work due to Riley not wanting much to do with her in the daytime, I think she likes Freddy’s company 😊

Ooooooh that sounds painful Do you know how he's managed to do it? I'm kind-of on the sick too Work has just become more and more of a joke and I've started getting tearful, forgetful (couldn't even work out change for £1.49 from a £2 coin yesterday!!! Brain just froze then I started panicking that I was losing my mind!!!) I've also been getting some excruciating splitting headaches behind eyes and around head and cannot sleep a full night without waking in the early hours and then taking ages to nod off again Neil rang me yesterday afternoon just before 5pm and could tell I was having problems speaking. When I told him I just had a splitting headache and had just taken some ibuprofen and was waiting for that to kick in he said ''Right! Leave dog at home - we're going to the doctors!'' I didn't want to go but he insisted so we went along and spoke to a receptionist who gave me a form telling me how to book appointments online. So first thing this morning I've managed to get one for tomorrow ....or, rather, booked up a female doctor to call me at some time. Apparently that's the way they do it now....they call you and have a chat and then decide whether you need to actually come in for a proper appointment! I feel guilty as hell for being off work but Neil is insisting He actually doesn't want me to go back! For about a year the boss was ok then things changed....he won't give you a payslip and demands to know WHY you want one if you ask (errr it's the law numbnuts!!!), won't tell you what your work rota is until around 7pm on Saturday night (our week starts on Sunday!!!), has cut hours down but still expects same amount of jobs done, complains that I talk too much to the customers, says I'm not fast enough on the post office, I constantly get calls from him to go in on my day off (ie last Friday I had to go in for 2 poxy hours!!!) and holidays.....dear god, he FREAKS if you ask for a holiday!!!! You cannot have two weeks together, just one week at a time, and ONLY when he says. He'll tell you, for example, on a Wednesday or Thursday, ''Oh by the way, I'm giving you next week off'' You cannot book a holiday in advance (ie book a caravan months in advance) because he doesn't work that far ahead. And in the past two & half years he's been in charge I've been short-changed with my holidays each time! In December he told Rachel & myself that we still had 3 weeks to take so come January we both took a week, one after the other. February didn't happen because he decided we couldn't take the time off and as our year ends on March 31st Rachel managed to get one week at the beginning of the month but it was only when I reminded him that he begrudgingly gave me the next week off.....although I did have to do a 10hr shift on the Sunday! I then got a phone call five days later asking me to do a paper round on the Saturday morning but when I asked which one it was (there's two I'm not 100% on) he asked if I had the car back on the road. When I said no, she'd failed her MOT he said he'd call me back ad put the phone down! Then the next night I got a text from him at 7.15pm saying I was in at 6am the next morning. Neil texted him back saying a holiday was seven days not six and Gill would be back at work on Monday morning! We heard nothing more but when I went back to work and ever since he's been treating me like dirt. It's got to the point I actually feel like my stomach and guts are churning and I'm going to throw up when I know he's due in or actually is in....I'm just waiting for the constant criticism to start Last week I got wrong for spending too much time doing paperwork (which him and his wife, an accountant, give me to do - vouchers, credit card slips, delivery invoices & receipts etc, bills to send out to customers) and not enough time filling shelves. Apparently my shelf filling is below standard!!! I argued back that I HAD filled as much as I could but seeing as HE had forgotten to do an order we didn't have much stock in the back!!! He stomped off home then came back just before closing and started shouting at me because I hadn't put invoices in the correct order (apparently!) but when I said I had the first time I did the invoices but the second time a week later two of the files had gone missing so I just put all the Booker files (cash & carry) invoices together in one file. Honestly, half the time HE has taken things home!!!!!!! No wonder I've been getting headaches!!!!!! Its the same time and time again, you have never been happy there , its making you ill, best thing you can do is LEAVE. He is breaking the law, sounds like he is not running the business as he should. Are you on minimum wage ? if so is it the correct amount as that recently changed. Best advice I can give you is get your bum down the C.Advice and have a chat with them.

I had yesterday off work to get my car serviced. When I went to collect it the receptionist said they had vacuumed it and washed it as well. When I checked it, it had only been vacuumed in the front of the car!! But, much worse than that, when I looked in my service book last night they had filled in the wrong details. They had obviously put someone else's details in it as they recorded the mileage as over 15 thousand and I was on 6,969 miles. also, the wrong job number. I sent an email this morning to the General Manager telling them and requesting a new service record book with the correct details. I hadn't heard anything back by 1pm so I phoned and spoke to the man I had sent the email to - yes, he had received it and forwarded on to another Manager to deal with and I should get a reply before 5pm! I hate going to this dealer but unfortunately hubby persuaded me to buy a 3-year service deal, so I have to put up with them for another year. They are so incompetent.

I just had a reply scallywag. It was short and sweet! It just said "I am sorry about this. I will get a new service book sent out to you. When we do the service clean we do only hoover the front footwells."

That's very sloppy if that's how they done the service book what service did they do to the car coz at different milage a car get different things done like every second service is a what's called a full service and every other one is an oil and filter and a general look over but ur out of there in prob two more services I would think places like that give garages a bad name that no what to treat a customer
