Plus I don't want to use the lady's room when they are anywhere near where they might hear me! Horrors!!!<br /><br />I thought of honeycomb when I saw that flooring and then hexagon quilts. I am assuming the actual bubblegum wasn't the floor, right? <br /><br />Hope the remodel goes quickly for you so you can get your life back to yourself! I would love to be able to have an old house to redo.

But still so much better than a modern one. Love the yellow floor - very cool.<br />I had a room in a very strange house, with weird house-mates, in Lochgilphead when I was in my early 20s. After a weekend away I came back in the dark and everyone else was out. The dog went in first and started growling like mad, I got very scared and picked up the kindling axe and followed the growling......into a room where he was trying to scare off the other dog growling back at him from the mirror! Not the bravest dog. <br />Poor Ellie cat.

On the contrary: if you as much as imagine hearing a strange kind of noise, the cat will definitely start acting spooked. And the vicious circle is started! Been there too many times! (... But the rest of the time, cats are the best.)Tilkunviilaajahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03061874586969591813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-79942022114351470.post-76912863313093618142013-02-19T17:15:34.743+00:002013-02-19T17:15:34.743+00:00I hate house noises.
