    Well that was an education, :) I just thought cellophane was cellophane, but oh no, it comes on rolls, or just as sheets, in pretty patterns or just plain, different widths, and sizes etc etc etc :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:, you can ask the sellers for different amounts etc, and best of all it does not seem that expensive :T so just need to sort out what I actually want!!

    OH picked up from bike repair place, and deposited back to home.

    don't ANYONE, EVER ask me for medical advice...

    walked into DS's room this morning and informed him his gerbil was dead. Moved cage, dusted under it. Took cage outside to prepare for interrment. Opened cage. Noticed (clearly dying) gerbil was breathing...slowly but still...

    Anyway just catching up while I wait for washer to finish cycle.
