GB's (or Charlie's) new home with me

[Liz]

So the friendship starts - thats how you loose your bed - they claim possesion is cat law - ours spend more time on ours tahn we do and now OH has said he will put his side of electric balnket on through the day so more can be warm instead of a feral huddle all on my side!

[Shirley]

  Jane 

Thanks Bazsmum!    at Chuch being 'the brave one'   

[Bazsmum]

Now thats a brilliant sight Shirley! 

So glad that these two are getting used to each other (although I'd say it was Chuch who was the brave one getting close!), they will have quick spats... even some of mine who get on really well can have their spats! 

Well Done you! 

[Janeyk]

Great picture Shirley, they aren't doing bad at all.  Reminds me of our first two cats Penny and Squeaky Penny pretended to dislike Squeaky butif ever we'd been out for the day there were always 2 obvious dents in the bed whenever we came in 

[Shirley]

I'm just gobsmacked! The way Chuch was when Charlie first came here (11 weeks tomorrow-seems longer lol) and how jealous he was, never in a million years did i expect this!    Mind you, after their dinner, Chuch went outside and Charlie was brave enough to lie on the part of the bed where Chuch had been-oops! When Chuch came back in, he had a fisticuffs with him, but Charlie stayed where he was!!!   
They're now back in separate rooms, but, hey, it's a start!!   

[Dawn F]

you're doing better than me, I've got two that would never share the bed!

[Shirley]

Isn't it just! So excited!!!!   

[Dawn F]

brilliant!!!

[Shirley]

Just posted this on CC-something i thought i'd never see-yaaaaah!!! 
 

[Bazsmum]

Glad everything is fine with the furbs! 

You must keep looking for another job Shirley, no job is worth feeling like that, been there and to be honest you could not pay me any amount to feel like that again! 

[Shirley]

Everything's fine on the furry front, thanks for asking    Chuch is turning into a big softie who just wants to play, i think, but Charlie is still too scared, yet he'll lie close to him!!!!   

Work is another story................     xx

[Bazsmum]

Shirley!!! Its the weekend and you are off! 

Hope all is okay on the work/furry front! 

[Shirley]

 

I've actually shut the door now-just keep popping out for a look and he's sitting on my little shed-aww!   

[Bazsmum]

  This is no good, we must teach him to rap on the window! 

[Shirley]

Thanks, i will!      Trouble is, still have to leave the door open when it's dark cos i can't see him cos he's grey and blends into the night, whereas Chuch is mainly white!     xx

[Bazsmum]

WOW!!! They touched noses a couple of times, well that is a friendly thing to do!  Its so good that he knows where to stand also so you dont have to keep the door open....Clever arnt they! 

I think if your not happy you should keep your eyes peeled on the job front Shirley, your more employable when your employed also!  Best of luck with this! 

[Shirley]

Thanks Sheryl-they're both having their afternoon nap, tho Chuchy's lasts most of the day   

Encouraging about the job too! Will keep looking! xx

[sheryl]

So glad to hear that the boys are getting on  

I know how you feel about the job because the job I went to after being made redundant and being unemployed for 3 months was awful and I Hated it (I was only there just over 3 weeks) - I kept looking and the job I am at now came along and I Love it, it started off as a 6 month temp contract but after only about 5/6 weeks they offered me a permanent contract and I was over the moon.  Keep your chin up Hun and I will keep my fingers crossed for you that a better job comes along xxx

[Shirley]

Thanks Jane!

No Dawn, it's the Government Job Centre website

[Janeyk]

  Glad to hear the kitties are getting on well Shirley and hope you manage to sort your job situation out 

[Dawn F]

is it jobsgopublic??

[Shirley]

Yes, Dawn, i'm just amazed how the boys have turned around!   
I tried to look on Job Centre website earlier and it's changed from when i did before! Something else to fathom out! Grrr!

[Dawn F]

shame about the job but nothing to stop you keeping on lookin around!!  the boys sound like they are doing great!!

[Shirley]

Hi Baz, the snow's gone-yaaah!!!!-but i've just heard on the news, more is forecast for Wednesday   

The job is a bit better cos i'm sitting down most of the time but not that keen at the mo and i managed to knacker the bosses computer (and another one!) last thing on Fri-ooops!!! If you don't use it for a few minutes, it signs off, so you have to log on again-such a pain-and it wouldn't let me, so you have to phone some security place!

Chuch and Charlie are still BFF (i realise now- ) They've even touched noses twice this weekend!!!!  Charlie is still nervous of him a lot of the time, so i was gobsmacked when that happened! He's going out more now the snow's gone and has learned to stand on Chuchy's little shelter under the window to let me know he's back-awww-so i don't have to leave the door open! (Mind you, it's open now and he's inside!!!!!) I accidently locked him out twice the other night, but he was waiting by the door when i realised he wasn't in his room one time and came when i whistled the other-awww! x

[Bazsmum]

How's things with the BFF's (Best Friends Forever) 

Hope work has got better for you and I hope the snow has gone also! 

[Bazsmum]

First press the "quote" tab on the persons post you want to quote, This will come up (below)

Thanks all! I'm just useless!!       God knows how i'm going to learn a new computer system at work!     
I'll have a practice when i get home tonight-a full day there today!!     

Then a couple of returns and type what you want to say! 

[Tiggy's Mum]

As Janey says, once you've clicked on 'insert quote' then step away from the quote  It literally takes a split second to insert a quote with just one click so it's not hard it's just that you need to move your cursor away so you don't interfere with the gobbledeegook!

Once you've mastered that it's just a case of highlighting any deleting any words you don't want in the quote - just remember, stay away from the gobbledeegook 

[Shirley]

[Bazsmum]

  No i haven't! 

No you hav'nt what? 

Keep trying Shirley, you will get there hun.....If you press "preview" before you post and scroll up above this white box you will see what your new post will look like! 

[Dawn F]

  No i haven't! 

you are missing the quote author at the beginning

[Janeyk]

Hi Shirley,

when you click 'quote' to insert the quote then start typing whatever you want don't touch anything of that quote i.e. make sure your curser is separate from anything in the previous quote so it leaves it as is - if that makes sense.

[Shirley]

   No i haven't! 

[Shirley]

I admit to being a Charlie/Chuch lurker and am glad to see they are getting on OK 
[/quote]


LOL-have i done it???? Thanks for that!!   

[Gill (sneakiefeline)]

There is also a ] at the end of the quote lol

[Tiggy's Mum]

What, like this v

How do you get those quotes in a purple box????      

Not telling you 

Oh, go one then...

When you click on reply, below the box you are typing in is everyone's elses posts. At the top right of each persons post there are the words 'insert quote', click on that and it will insert that persons quote into your post. You can click on more than one 'insert quote' so you can multiple quotes from lots of people.

If you only want to quote a certain part of their post, as I have done above, then just highlight the bit you want to remove and delete it just like you would in a word doc or email. The important thing to keep in is the gobbledegook in the square brackets at the beginning and the /quote in square brackets at the end. If you accidentally delete one of the brackets when you are deleting words that you don't want to quote it wont display properly. Like this...

[Shirley]

I hate working too Baz    The bosses are female-the main one is nice but my immediate one is a bit snotty i think .    I saw the main one on Tues night and am in my proper department tonight-  so hopefully, there'll be more sitting down lol! I work 24 hours, which sounds great, but there's 3 evenings 4.45-8pm and 2 days 8.30-5pm, which means twice i get home at 8.30pm and have to be back there at 8.30am and do a full day!!!!!!!  and   

Chuch and Charlie seem ok left all day-no lumps of fur anywhere at least!   lol

What's 'bff'??   

How do you get those quotes in a purple box????      

[Bazsmum]

Glad work was warmer for you Shirley, I hate working in cold conditions (any conditions really  ) Hope you have managed to have a word with the boss....Is the boss male btw? 

I take it the new bff are doing great! 

Is this job full time then or do you get days off (apart from the weekend?) 

[Shirley]

  Baz! Sorted the notification thing-don't know why it stopped-always had them before!  Still in the library, but it was warmer, but knackering-must see the boss tomorrow.........  

  Lin, wouldn't that be good- a webcam!!!       

[Liz]

Shirley hope you are feeling better

I now have a vision of the boys lying back together with catnip cigars and a game os carfs and seperating quickly when they hear your key in the door 

Web cam coming!

[Bazsmum]

Check in your profile Shirley, there is something in there about the notifications on threads! 

I have visions of Chuch strutting his stuff while meowmy is out, he really sounds like he is loving having his new pal there (even tho Charlie dont know its friendship he is after!), you know the saying "curiosity....." I reckon one day you will see them both having a ball! 

Hope you got to your different dept today and that its warmer!
