Ella Up Her Tree !!!!!!

Hi Everybody,

My eldest daughter has bought Ella a new cat tree as she loves to be up high and away from Ruby ... and Dougal when he visits.

Ella can feel safe up there while she surveys all that is going on around her.

I was pleasantly surprised that she took to it as well as she did and now she sits up there every day.

She can sit at different levels to look through the window and watch the birds and people as they pass by and it keep her entertained for ages.

Then when she has had enough she curls up n one of the centre parts that are enclosed and goes to sleep. 

It is quite a large tree but it fits into the bay window and doesn't block out too much light, and it keeps her happy which was my main objective.

It was a  bargain too as the lady who sold it found that her cats wouldn't use it and so she needed to get rid of it. Ella loves it 

Bye for now xx

Ann Topp - Winner

 Hi Everybody,

I am trying really hard to bring the numbers of subscribers up on both my blog and YouTube as for some reason the numbers are not rising.

 I have admitted in the past that it us very disheartening for all those publishers who work hard to add videos or posts and they do not get any response. And I am not the only one who mentions this fact.

On my Blog I have noticed, for quite some time now, that people are only leaving a comment when it is the Friday Freebie and at no other time and I feel that that is a little unfair on those that  do visit  on a regular basis. and leave me me a comment 

This is why I have said that I will give up blogging.

 But for now  I am going to try something different and that is that I will check back through the comments for the previous weeks and see what names are there and also for the Friday post,  and I am only going to add those names to the draw for the free gift.

This means that those who leave me a regular comment on my posts will see their names appearing more often as the winners on a Friday.

And this is another reason why you should leave your FULL NAME with your comment,  as some that show up are anonymous

My first one is named today and I am so grateful to these regular visitors and commenters. 

 Ann Topp

This week is for you Ann for all your support, and this is my way of saying a big thanks to you.

Please send me your postal address and I will get the pack in the post to you straight away.

Hugs.
