turpsJames bought me a heated throw last Christmas and I love it, and have pretty much used it in all the colder months since.
So, I decided to buy him one too as a surprise Christmas gift, and it was delivered weeks ago. This morning he went to work as usual and then later sent me a message saying, look what I've just bought myself, and it was a heated throw that was on special offer on Groupon.
This is why you don't buy yourself presents the week before Christmas >:(
I told him, and he's said sorry he didn't think, and we can just give this new one to my SiL as a birthday gift in January, but still, way to spoil a surprise.
On the theme of petty frustrations, I had the fastest bath ever last night. Just got the water done, bubble bar crumbled in, book ready, when I noticed Kayleigh had messaged asking if she could come over and do an ashes necklace. That had been sent 20 mins before and in that time she'd driven down with Lucy and Bodhi, so I had the fastest wash ever, pulled on my pjs and went to let them in.
Murphy has stopped letting Kevin push him around so much, and they now get into these situations where they're play fighting and Murphy gently bites the back of Kevin's neck. I researched, and apparently it's a common thing where one cat is trying to show dominance. They're not hurting each other, but it's still a bit alarming, the noises they make when they get into a tussle. But, they can be doing that one minute and the next they're lying down together or grooming each other.
They're both asleep right now, so I'm enjoying some peace after a morning where Kevin got tangled in the blinds behind the Christmas tree, and they both managed to pull down the star I have in the toilet window. I went in to find the star lying on the ground and the batteries and battery pack actually in the toilet. So, guess that star is out of action now.
