Magazines and cats

Why is my cat in the cupboard? Why has she taken it upon herself to squeeze into the gap between a large bin bag of curtains and some other random junk? Why? Because she is a cat, and that's what cats do, especially this one, she is odd! Eddie on the other hand is sitting on the bed basking in the heat of the halogen heater, not to mention the electric blanket!

As for the magazines portion of the title, I wish to rant about the art of crochet magazine! It doesn't exist, I refuse to accept it does! I have seen the website and and advert on the tv, but the magazine itself is more allusive than a shop assistant in New Look! Many shops have been searched, only to produce nothing more than, 'oh we are out of stock, but trying to get some more'. I think this to be lies! I have instructed Mum to look in Wigan tomorrow, she is at the dentist there and so has to walk passed many newsagents and shops to get to the train station. I shall be oh so upset if she gets here tomorrow without it, I think issue 2 comes out soon too! *sulk*

I got a letter from the hospital today asking me to call them up and make a 'mutually convenient appointment' with them for an MRI scan, but they are closed 12-2pm so I will ring them in a bit, hopefully I won't have to wait too long for an appointment. I will have to make it on a Monday or a Thursday though, as Mum is off then and will simply have to come with me, in that way she always has to, ha ha!

I got a couple more free samples of material today, still nothing from Dalton Mill though, I'm building it up in my head I just know I will be disappointed! I did get a free book today though, by Stuart Maconie, it's about the northwest, so I will have a leaf through that later on.

I don't know what to make for the teaparty tomorrow, I'm so scared of nobody turning up, people always drop out of coming to my parties and things, I don't want to be left with a table full of cake and nobody to eat it, espically as I can't eat wheat and gluten! I sent a reminder around people last night, via facebook, so hopefully people will come. I always worry about nobody coming, which is silly as I don't like crowds of people either ha ha! At least I can be tight chested, nervous and popular though :p I think I will make some biscuits soon, and use the new cat shaped cookie cutter I bought yesterday, I should probably try out the star shaped cake tin too! That's going to be fun to line! agh!

Still no UCAS news!

So tired today, I'm just sitting about watching Dr Phil and Dickinsons Real Deal, it's quite sad! I think it maybe hot vimto time soon.

Not done too much more on the towel cat, but I do have a bag of stuffing now. I did a testing stuff of the head and it doesn't look quite as bad as I thought it would, so things are looking up! I shall have to buy some eyes tomorrow when I go shopping tomorrow, we hitting the charity shops in Chorley, it's possibly the only reason to go to Chorley, there's very little else there, except pubs! I can safely say I don't miss the place, but I am looking forward to searching out some bargains! :D

I still haven't heard anything from UCAS or from the hospital, was hoping I would have had a letter from the hospital by now, I went on 27th Feb, but there's time yet, maybe something will appear later this week.

The towel cat is coming along, I managed a whole head and tail yesterday, so I'm hoping to have i finished today, although I don't know what to stuff it with, cooked pasta? My sewing skills aren't that amazing too so I can't help but feel the cat is going to look a bit like it has some sort of disability but then again that's OK, it's a special house here as it is, ha ha!

I was ment to to be going out for tea tonight at a friend's house but that's now been cancelled as I'm struggling to get out of bed and downstairs, let alone to the train station and beyond, may try tomorrow, may not, this is the joy of having a body that allows you to do different things each day. I never quite know if it's going to be a walking day or not, today it's not!
