I have now come to the conclusion that at this age, there is no way on earth I can keep this many diaries going, so our Nuts, and our Detectives diaries will have no more entries now until those "Special Days", when the babies leave us. The first of our children to go will be Cashew and Pecan as they are both leaving on the 28th so please check back after then for a further update.

Unfortunately there are still no photos today and all kitten diaries are exactly the same. I did originally have plans to do the diaries as per normal today however at approximately 1730 yesterday, one of our ladies went into labour. It was a long labour that didn't finish until around 0200 this morning which meant I have had very little sleep and have spent all of today doing the normal chores, taking care of all the children, and closely monitoring the newborns. It's now 1638 and I still have at least 10 loads of washing to sort through, as well as trying desperate hard to make arrangements to collect the newest fur addition to the Schimmel home. Tomorrow is going to be an absolute nightmare so please do not worry if there are no entries online tomorrow. The babies are all doing well however.

You will have all noticed I have missed a couple of days' entries in the kitten diaries and rather than go into any long drawn out stories about recent "disasters" (not cat related), I will simply say that this week, and next week, are going to be horrendous. As it stands at the moment, I will endeavour to get the kitten diaries online as per normal but would say not to be surprised if we miss days here and there. Today's entries are text only entries but one way or another, I will be taking photos tomorrow.
