Good morning beautiful Topsy. Those swap things started again the afternoon before yesterday little girl, and did not stop until it was gone midnight… of course, I had another awful night, and I was awake early yet again. Poor Percy and George did not mind being fed early, but before I could feed them, I had to take out another great big pile of stuff to the bins. When I had fed them, I did not hang around, I just washed up, and got back up here before I got in the ogresses way again. I had to get more meat when I went into town yesterday, a load of sausages for the ogress to chomp down, and two big pieces of pork, which I do not like handling… in a normal household, there would have been enough for two Sunday dinners, but in this household, it will be gone by Sunday. Of course, I could not buy myself anything, all I wanted was some mushroom soup, some biscuits, and some noodles, but I could not get any of that, so I had to go without. I still had to carry a big pile of stuff back though, and even though I have asked for there not to be so much to carry, there I still a lot, and that is for the ogress to wallop down. When I got back here, I was in the ogresses snorting way again, as she was waiting to go trundling off out… I just had enough time to put things away, and then I had to get back up here out of her way, so I went back down when she had finally gone out. It was a good job that I left Molly up here, as when I was in the hallway by the stairs, she came crashing through the big scary old door, and I had to get out of her way once again… at least the swamp things were quiet yesterday. I almost fell asleep in this chair late yesterday afternoon, I managed not to, and was looking forward to a good sleep last night, but of course that did not happen, as I kept waking up during the night. When I woke up this morning, I was so tired that I went back to sleep for half an hour, and when I got down there to the kitchen, yet more stuff was waiting for odd dopey daft me to take out there to the bins. I fed Percy and George, and got back up here out of the way in case the ogress came barging along. When I went back down to make some coffee, I had to get out of her way then, and I went down again a few hours later to ask my poor Mum about some shopping I was ordering. The ogress was nowhere to be seen, but suddenly came charging up the hallway like a bull with it bits on fire, so out of her snorting way I had to get again. I bought my poor Mum and little sister a chocolate cheesecake the other day, and seeing as the ogress cannot have cheese or chocolate, I thought that it would be safe… but of course it was not, I have just found out that she slapped down a huge lump of it last night, nothing is safe with her around, just like with the old ogre. I would buy myself something for my dinner, go to get it, and find out that he had gobbled it down for a snack, and I would have to go without… and she is exactly the same. We do love you Topsy, we love you so much little girl, and we do miss you, we miss you so much you beautiful brave little girl. XXXXX
