time to get planning

I will admit I'm one of the world's worst planners. In the next 4 weeks I have go overseas to meet the great-nephew and catch up with his not-so-great parents(!). This means finding somewhere that will take the pesky mogs and the dog for 8 days or so. We all found out about the baby months ago, so I have no excuse.

So now I'm trawling through the local kennels, and suddenly sympathetic to the friends who were so frantic when trying to find a decent nursery. The Reservoir Mogs might be little sods, but they are my little sods and I want them to be fairly happy and comfortable. I'd prefer to keep them all in proper confinement, although the cats were quite good for the last house-sitter. But this time they would have to put up with the dog, who is a vandal if not controlled 24/7 , so I'm looking for a place as plush as the Hilton and as secure as Alcatraz. More caffeine, now!

Look, a good compromise would be to put Gromit in doggy hotel and leave the mogs to us to feed - we really should repay the favour!

Overseas. Overseas where? Are you coming to my continent?

Sophie, no worries, Angela lives 10 mins away, and has dealt with the ratbags while I was in Cornwall. She knows where to look for the dead bodies they bring in! She's signed up again. And Jacey, if I made it to your neck of the woods you would be the first to know :) In fact, if I ever decide to run off to join a circus, I'll choose one touring by you, so I get to see you again! And pay you large sums of dosh not to tell where I'm hiding...
