I know that not all countries celebrate Mother’s Day today but I know the Brits do. Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mummies, grannies and mummies-to-be. 
I got my mum a card (duh), a giant Mother’s Day teddybear and the new Ronan Keating album (which I’ve already heard about 20 times).
That teddybear is almost as big as I am. I bought it when I had my “day out” with Matt and poor Matt had to carry it around for me.
The Ronan Keating album is good. I MUCH prefer the way he sings now – he doesn’t seem to put on that stupid accent anymore, which is GREAT.
I also bought a card and a present for my “mother-in-law”, Hazel:
Her present is a little Tatty Teddy snowglobe. It took AGES to find something that didn’t have “Mum”, “Mummy”, “Mother”, “Gran” or “Grandma” plastered all over it!
My mum’s had her presents but Hazel will have to wait until I come around later.
What did you get your mum for Mother’s Day?
Edit: Jade Goody died this morning.^ 
We all knew it was going to happen but it’s still sad.

I got Killer a week ago and he appears to be settling in well, although he hasn’t developed a routine yet.
He now understands how to use his exercise ball and is happy to run around like a madhamster (kinda like Rhino from Bolt^). However. He hasn’t yet learnt that turning around and running in the opposite direction will free him when he gets stuck in a corner. Right now, he just sort of sits there and waits for someone to come and rescue him.
He loves Josh; he will happily run all over Josh and move around on me but will just sit and shake when someone else holds him.
He doesn’t bite (he didn’t even bite the man who got him out of his original cage!) but will “nip” you when he’s done playing and wants to be put back in his cage.
He doesn’t like the green things in his muesli but loves the seeds and peanuts. He doesn’t seem to like the chocolate drops my sister bought for him yesterday but we’re not going to tell her that. 
Part of the reason he hasn’t developed a routine yet is because Tay keeps waking him up when she’s bored and makes him play with her. He shows his dislike for this by weeing on her. 
That’s my boy!
I first got up the balls1 to stroke him on Monday – he has the softest fur! – and I held him for the first time on Tuesday but I was scared to death of squashing or hurting him and made my brother supervise me.
His cage needed cleaning earlier and I was the only person in the house, so I had to try and get him out of his cage BY MYSELF, unsupervised and…I did it! He didn’t want to go into the ball but I got him in there! I even got him back out of the ball and onto my hand, before I lowered him into the cage. 
(Added later) Look at me playing with Killer! ^ (Video!)

I’ve moved back to WordPress because I thought it would be easier than modifying my self-coded blogging tool. Easier – ha!
It took about four hours to get my old entries imported into WordPress; first I tried to import via RSS but that didn’t work, so I had to add every single entry manually. And I’ve lost all my comments.
After all that faffing about, I had to download & install some plugins just to get a decent archive page and my Flickr photos back in the sidebar.
Then I started looking for a theme but couldn’t find one I liked, so I decided to butcher the default theme…that little white duck (Whitey!!) on the layout took bloody AGES to draw.
I managed to “complete” everything and was about to move everything off the subdomain and back into my root directory, when I decided to show Myke all the work I did…and he laughed. Because Whitey – and the entire sidebar – had decided to move under everything else. Then I couldn’t get the sidebar and content to sit in the right places in both IE AND Firefox and – what a mess. AND I can’t have comments because the comment form isn’t showing up. Pfft. Fixed!
Anyway, I’m all done. And knackered. G’night.
