Hannah, hope you're stronger than Mark and I.  Sounds like we are just complete push overs - I've been called worse!!  :evillaugh:

When I was younger I always wanted to work with animals in some way but I would be in tears every day - I know a lot of good is done but I would never be able to switch off and get on with it.  I really do take my hat off to anyone who works with animals.  Good luck chuck.

Good luck with the fostering - I was a complete failure - I got Bonnie on Thursday Tea time and Sunday morning I couldn't allow her to be seen by someone who wanted to see her as I couldn't bare her to go.  Yep, I adopted her and she's all mine.  :rofl: :)

Mary

Been there & done that. I was supposed to be looking after Alice for "a few days"  :evillaugh:

Hey Hannah - well done you! What a star :wish: you are! I'm sure all the kitties will fall in love with you - you'll just have to be careful you don't fall head-over-heels for them too :evillaugh: I'm sure CP will be delighted that you are able to help out - and you're so brave ringing round and sorting everything out, you should be so proud of yourself! :hug:
Any kitties that you foster will be lucky furbabes indeed ;) and it's great that your flatmate is so enthusiastic, too.
Don't worry about struggling with the accent - I'm from Nairn (fairly mild highland accent), and on moving to Aberdeen found "doric" dialect nigh-on indecipherable! :evillaugh: Thankfully, I was a little familiar with it because my grandad spoke a bit of it, but the broader accents plus the dialect just sounds like a foreign language! I can now understand it passably well, but couldn't speak it to save myself! ;)
Good luck with it all, and keep us updated! ;) :hug:

well apparently if i want to carry on, i'll get keys - which kinda suggests i might be alone.  thinking about it, it really did sound like i'd be alone. there arent that many people to help out, so think they do one morning or evening each.   dont know, will have to check it all out.  she said something about going down this track thing and leaving the car at a garage thing and walking down and she definately said there were no street lights etc....   dont want to be silly and wimpy but also.... dont want to get scared!!!  not that i'd be sure how to say i dont want to help out if i dont want to...  oh dear!!!!!  ok, calm, will go along on friday and check it out and think from there  :)

.  another scary accent was on t'other end of the phone - but i was brave!!  yay!!!

A bit like this was it?  :evillaugh:


I was reading the 44 Scotland Street books and the people that went from Edinburgh to Glasgow couldn't understand the accent  :evillaugh:

My old flatmate was from Campbelltown and had a lovely accent but not sure if his was the local one (he was a bit "affected"  :evillaugh: )

Good luck, I dont think you will be there on your own, they probably wouldnt be able to do that insurance wise.

thanks licia!!!!!  ;D

the tug of war well - i cant promise it wont happen!!!  but hopefully it's a pretty good compromise for me getting kitty cuddles and helping out!!!

my flat mate is VERY excited!  she wants one NOW apparently!   :evillaugh:

eek, do hope it all comes together  :)

going to the pens - think if i like it i'll be more of a reserve anyway, plus in a few weeks my timetable all changes so it could be tricky to commit.  we shall see  :)

but also - i havent seen it yet -  but.... it sounds a wee bit scary to be there on my own :scared:  not sure, will have to see how comfortable i think i would be there.  dont mind helping out - but dont want to scare myself either  :-:

Oh my goodness Hannah, that's brilliant!! :wow: :wow: :wow:  But I rethought... can you really handle being a foster mummy??  I wouldn't want you to start a tug of war with the new adoptive parent using the poor kitty!! :shify:

And you will be surprised what dinky little country lane Tomtom can pick up!!  It came very useful also for us in the middle of nowhere in a country side! ;)  But yeah, if you can talk Lottie into tour guiding you that will be much better, and after the trip there will be another excuse for you to meet up with Star... ;) ;)

Best of luck in any case, have fun!! ;D ;D ;D

aaaaaaaaarrrrrgggghhhhhh!!!!

well, a lot happened since i wrote the last thing - i now appear to be on the foster list for central aberdeen cp - maybe even next week i could be fostering!!!

dunno - was a bit of a strange conversation, but....  woooooooooohhhhhhooooooooooooooooooooooooo

tomtom is the way forward i think licia - except it seems like this place is in the middle of a fild or something (ok, on a farm) down a beaten track so....   :Crazy:

but lottie has been there before so think will have to ask her  :sneaky:  thank goodness!!!

oh the accents licia - some i'm totally fine with, but i get flustered on the phone anyway which doesnt help and.... well no offence to anyone but some scottish accents can be quite hard and scary (others are totally lovely!)

hehe - i'm so happy right now!!!!!!! ;D

and i'm going to the pens on friday!!!  i'm going to o see what its all about and stuff then might be helping out!

good news huh!   it seems there's mostly ferels in, so maybe not that many cuddles, but thats ok - hopefully i can tame and persuade!!!

Hooray Hannah!!  Great news!!  I am sure all the kitties will fall in luv with you!!  I am so excited for ya!!

Quote from: hannah (weeny) on January 29, 2008, 20:30:30 PM
so all good.  except i didnt understand the wifey's accent too well and got totally lost and confused with the directions she gave me...  i'll leave plenty of time to get there!!!!  yeah - i really didnt understand how to get there. oh well.  :tired:

Wow, so within UK peeps have that sort of problems too?? :wow:  I had some trouble conversing with my mates from Glasgow and another from Belfast, and one time when I was in Yorkshire some of the people didn't sound at all to me like spreaking in English... :Crazy:  I was rather complexed about that but now I feel better now... :shy:
Anyway, if you have the addy of the place, Tom Tom is the way to go if it is updated!! ;)

and i was just looking up for the central aberdeen branch to see about contacting them about fostering, but they dont have an email address so.... hmmm.  hey i might just bite the bullet and ring them!!!!

Yep go girl, be brave, you can do it!! ;D ;D ;D  (but of course it is easier for me to say when it is not me ringing :shy: )

Keep us posted girlfriend, we are so thrilled for ya!! :hug:

Best of luck, Hannah!  :wow:

Not sure what kind of help you want to give them, but anything will be welcome with open arms.  :blow kiss: I'm going out trapping tomorrow. Long hours sitting in the car with my book, wishing I just had someone to natter to. :scared: You could always consider being a Trappers Friend!  :evillaugh:
