Smokey is a rehomed cat who is loving his new life with his happy new owner.
“He is really relaxed now, loves purring and is extremely happy, although is still on guard with unfamiliar noises. Smokey started off being quite afraid of most things, but now is a well-behaved cat who is newly learning to use his scratching post, rather than a carpet! Smokey loves routine and "helps" people by sitting in their laps when they are trying to work or type. He has become an integral part of a piano teaching studio and loves both music and all the students.”

Seven pairs of men's trousers. Three are brand new! Two have a very small hole (less than 3mm) - the hazard of working with chemicals while not wearing a lab coat, but barely noticeable.

Two have a very small hole (less than 3mm) - the hazard of working with chemicals while not wearing a lab coat, but barely noticeable. All good quality ex-Kirks or David Jones. Unfortunately, my hubby's girth has increased before he got a chance to wear the new pairs. Would need someone not too tall with quite a svelte figure - 5ft9 and slim waist. Might suit a young man for work. DM me if interested. Must pick up in Woburn.
