Wish I looked as cool as Greenbee sounds.
[wanders off back to the world of quantum mechanics]either way it needs to be submitted for review tomorrow, so I'll just have to deal with it.... oh... and the colleague I'm collaborating with has just turned into a pumpkin and gone off line (I expect his wife, not unreasonably, thought it was past his bedtime!)
I also appear to have a number of glasses and plates up here, as well as the wine bottle(s)so I guess once I've got through tomorrow I need to make some inroads into the flying...
Might as well go to bed now though. No database... no way of working really...0 -

The kitchen is looking good but the rats are making a bit of a mess of the front room! Dad is going to make some plastic sides for the bottom of the cage to stop this (hopefully very soon!!)
Is the cage small enough to fit in a litter tray? You could buy a cheap litter tray and just put the cage in that to collect the mess.Since WHEN????!!!!:p
Well done on the banana cake, I am still to scared to try it after my "Twinks" disaster (used marg not butter)
I always use marg as well but now you've talked about them I fancy some and I'm supposed to be HE.

The kitchen is looking good but the rats are making a bit of a mess of the front room! Dad is going to make some plastic sides for the bottom of the cage to stop this (hopefully very soon!!)
My mum used to put my hamster cage in a cardboard box and then cut the front side of the box down so I could see the hamster, kept all the mess in and protected the little thing from the cold.
She also manged to toilet train it as well by but putting a glass jar in the corner of the cage with some wet sawdust and it used to have its wee's in there, that way I could wash out the glass jar (jam jar I think) very handy in the summer.
