I'm terribly behind on my commenting so wishing you a happy pancake day almost a week later seems a bit silly. I hope you enjoyed your pancakes in any case!

Eeep! Cat carriers aren't exactly light! I hope you didn't get too banged up by it!

Sounds like you'd a lovely time with Pauline and with the kiddies.

I'd forgotten it was this week your MiL would come to stay. I hope things have gone well and that you will have a great day tomorrow having the house all to yourself again!
