Cant we hibernate from October to march.
Do people still stamp their feet in anger?

I've just taken stock and:
My mum is dying
DD3 and her children are still here
The Idiot still is
DD2 has broken her wrist and her DH has a new job, can't take time off yet, so she and 2 more DGD are coming to stay
DSiL isn't coping with the death of her estranged son
DN is being harassed by her two eldest sons at the instigation of her estranged husband
A cat (don't know which one!)has a funny tummy and has diarrhoea in hard to reach places
DD1 is stressing about DS1 preferring to go to the football rather than out for a meal for her 40th
And the dishwasher is useless and keeps leaving 'stuff' on everything!
Is it too late to hibernate! 
Hang on in there kitty - definitely got more than your fair share. Above all, keep that sense of humour 
wow kitty- what a plateful- glad to hear you can see the 'funny' side and is coping well, and that DH is being brilliant- bravo and bonne chance
Can only get better... + 
And, it just got sillier!!
Mum seems to be rallying and no one is expecting her to die anytime soon, but she's lost her dentures!
After visiting mum yesterday afternoon, I got home to discover DH hoovering the dining room carpet! 
. Someone had thrown a stone at the window and the (very thin, very old, maybe original Victorian) glass had broken and the floor was covered. DD3 and DH gave chase with DD ringing 999 as they went. As she was put through to the police, she disconnected as she realised a broken window is not really an emergency.
They caught up with the culprit who admitted it and called DH lots of rude names and a paedophile! DD took photos of the boy and his girlfriend to more accusations of paedophilia. They came home and reported the incident on 101 but, half an hour later, a couple of police officers came to investigate the dropped call!
I'm definitely staying in bed today!
Well, at least you managed to get the police to respond! Can they do anything? Accusations of paedophilia and thrown stones isn't very nice. Especially on top of everything else! I'd stay in bed if I were you.
I'm on my way loopy
If you ever feel inclined to leave home, kitty, you could make a tour of gransnet members that would take you about a year. BTW, I bet your cat hasn't thought of having diarrhoea in your shoe. ......
No,*anno*, but once when I was doing a dressmaking class, I took my material out of the basket , wondered why I couldn't shake it out and - well you can guess the rest! Surprisingly, I never went back!!
