Yup!
The daft babies decided to have a pool party inside my external filter. Hanging out in the pitch black while 1000l/h of water rushes past you really does suggest that natural selection should be allowed to take its course.
But I'm a big softy. One emergency trip to the pet shop, £42 and 3 hours later and I have a new emergency 24l tank up and running in our kitchen.
Think I managed to rescue 14, there may be others in the main tank still to find.
Next in the litany of calamities - went for a 6.5 mile jog and my iPod decided not to record it (despite the hour of spoken messages that clearly showed I remembered to start the damn thing!)0 -

Glad you rescued the little things

Spent over an hour on the 'phone to SP this morning, asking them to explain why I'm now being billed by *2* utility companies for my gas and electricity and raising a complaint. Absolutely !!!!ed off with them now, I'll be contacting Ofgem once the required 8 weeks is up :mad:
Work was also heinous, I'm frazzled, I have a selection of weeping blisters from a new pair of Dr Martens and several fish babies died
All first world problems, I know, really I do, but I'm frustrated and grumpy and the black mist has descended!- £3.44 to Freedom Fund
