Nice to have your lovely comments return. :) While you were away, blogger upset many people and there was a bit of a mass exodus to wordpress. Blogger have now fixed the problem (which was making it difficult for non blogger users to leave comments) but it was too little too late for some people. A few of us have gone self hosted (which has a small cost attached) as it provides so many more options in terms of how the blog looks and other bits and pieces. Plus of course the glory of being a .com instead of a blogspot.com or wordpress.com. There's a little more on this over at my blogworld blog. I've been writing a series for blogging beginners. <a href="http://www.lighteningsblogworld.com/2008/02/04/where-will-you-blog/" rel="nofollow">Where Will You Blog</a> Hi Erin!

Tue, 19 Feb 2008 13:22:37 +0000 http://www.lighteningonline.com/2008/02/16/smiley-saturday-10/#comment-3871 Ok well I am reading posts backwards towards whenever it was I stopped reading because of computer/reno's etc (and the fact that I didnt even know this blog existed lol until I saw it linked via Bettinas new blog (still waiting to find out why everyones blogs have moved sites etc lol utterly confuised). Anyways, Smiley Saturdays sound good, and sooner or later I will back track enough to find out the conditions/rules/general guidelines etc, so by Saturday I should know what I am doing (we hope, but then there is the issue of having been born a blonde lol). Hugs!

Then when we got Chloe from the Cat protection society (we got two kittens different litters) they were either already desexed or we got them done soon after - it was the condition of sale .To reduce unwanted litters.I would have loved to let her have one litter (but at the time we had another smoky grey girl as well and we couldn't let them both anyway) We lost the grey 'Jasper' about year later (hit by car) .Chloe we had for 12 years (hit by our car on our driveway driven by a friend. I saw it seconds after she was hit - died in a minute.Broke my heart). Trish Lightening

Glad to hear you're smiling again this week. :) Maggie - glad it made you smile :) Naomi - thanks. Glad you enjoyed. :) Tracey - great to have you back safe and sound. :) Babyamore - we ordered a Jayco expanda van. It's all very exciting. I've been browsing a heap of brochures we picked up at the Caravan and Camping show. Hard to believe our trip is little more than 12 months away. Bettina - they are cute aren't they. A much simpler way to expand our family than adding human babies. :) I think we might breed kittens if 1 turns out to be a female (not with it's brother though) as ginger females are quite rare.
