    Not sure of you caught up yet, basically they kicked off due to a draft, lewis looked like he might cry, both walked off, came back, started to play and threw a hissy fit again, in the end they both agreed to play!

    That actually makes it sound interesting!

    I don't normally watch it, but BIL persuaded him to put a bet on and the drama has the ooh factor for me haha.

    Corn snakes are very gentle creatures..... if ever you want to try to overcome the fear this would be where to start..... I have managed to get one petrified friend, who previously used to walk in and round the walls on the opposite side if the room to the tank to now at least stand beside it...... and another who was really nervous initially to handle it. I do get some strange looks off folk walking by when I am wandering round the front garden with him hanging round my neck! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I run away like something posessed if I come across a slow worm when I'm gardening so there is no way on earth I could be persuaded to hold an actual snake!
    Years ago a neighbour of mine used to sit in his garden with some ruddy great lizard on his shoulder as "it liked being in the sunshine".
    I'd have to go inside in case he wanted to chat!!
    I don't like touching a live fish either....no way I could take one off a hook while it was wriggling.
    Give me a nice cuddly lion, tiger or bear anyday!!
    My husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.

    Mushroom and Lady, adopted in 2001 at age 5 (approx.) from the RSPCA in Bath at the same time as Harvey and Rumple. Mushroom had one front leg missing but he was soooooooo fast! Lovely boy, sadly lost to me in 2005.

    Another of Lady, taken at the end of 2010, showing she still has spirit despite being desperately ill a few days earlier, waged a brilliant battle against renal failure, surprising everyone with her will to survive, but she sadly lost her spark on 6th Jan 2011 and I had to say goodbye. Still not over it, had her 10 years, the longest I've had any cat that I've lost, miss her every day even a year later :(

    Lovely Mollie (renamed from Meg), a chirping chatty daft cat, a real people cat, used to cry at the bottom of the stairs like you'd left her alone for weeks when you'd been gone 2 minutes. Adopted with her brother Gunther (formerly Mog!!) in 2005 at age 6/7 a few months after losing Mushroom. Died in March 2009, the only cat I couldn't say goodbye to as she just went suddenly in hospital :(

    Still more to come!!

    Reminds me of my younger days (not that I am old mind). Went fishing with my brother a few times, we used to team up, I hate maggots/castors and he hated touching the fish so we helped each other haha. I want to add a picture of my old dogs but can't find one think they are all on external hard drive so I reserve the right to add one at a later date :)

    Everything will be ok in the end, and if it isn't ok then it isn't the end :)

    Ok so 2012 didn't start off too well. Went to an out of my way Ts and only came out with a TS3 toy, 2 Illooms and a Nevada Desert Flower plug-in (first I've seen mind you). DS1 was asking for his father which after my first lone New Years was like a stake through the heart. Got to the folks who took the kids for a while to let me tackle another Ts in peace.

    Lets' just say I walked out of the 2nd Ts knowing that the boys birthdays and Xmas's for the forseeable future are now sorted! Forgive the mass of pics but there was too much stuff for one pic.

    Harry Potter jigsaw puzzles - 80p
    My Little Pony - 15p
    Toy Story 3 Action Links - £3.99

    2012-01-01222757.jpg

    GX Racers - £1
    Fisher Price Waybuloo Nok Tok - 60p
    ZingZillas Poseable Zak - 4p :D

    Wonderpets Plush - 30p

    Also saw a baby walker for £6.25 and a wooden pull along animal for £1.50.

    Oh and while stopping for munchies at an express, I spotted a lonely Sienna Gold Lighter. Even in the express it was 1p and the girl on the till couldn't have been happier to sell it to me at that price :T

    Night Night folks..... thanks for the lovely pet pics i've seen today..... waiting for a few more of the 'unusual' ones now! Would have plenty to post if I was at my other halfs place, but as he lives about 120 miles away I can't just 'pop' round to take some photos.:(:(:( Boo hoo, I miss him so much sometimes :cool::o so i'm glad you lot are here to put a smile on my face. :D
