that won't need to happen but thanks for the cheeky offer :roey:

indeed :-?

I went into a bit of a panic when I found out but I think I'm used to the idea now. Pretty angry but what can you do. I don't worry about the packing or the moving, I worry that I won't be able to find a place as good as this place. It isn't perfect but while living here we managed to maximise the space in such a way that we really got a lot out of the little place. And of course whenever you move, if you want at least the same conditions, the average rent has almost always gone up a bit. I wrote a list of things to look forward to, not least of all is a decent washing line and a catdoor for Monty. I'd love to go out rural but I don't know if I could stomach the travelling distance to work.

looks really nice binu :cophot:

They gave us the legal 90 days notice at least.

eating fresh baking beats the smell of fresh baking

Got a phonecall from the landlord this morning saying that they want us to move out so they can move in. We haven't even been here a year :facepalm:

Caryl did you find some cake pop moulds or did you just roll them out yourself? I can probably find some up here for you if there aren't any in Blenheim

how's this then? ever seen a walrus dancing to Michael Jackson? :dnc1:

that's what you get for eating fishfood...... in other news, for dinner tonight I'm doing a Jamie Oliver trick of roasting lamb straight on the oven rack so it drips into the vegetables below. It makes for quite a smokey smelling kitchen so I really hope it tastes good. I rubbed it with lime juice (no lemon available), rosemary, oil, salt and pepper. !drool:

I'm not dutch but I love stroopwafels :dnc1:

here's another crazy cat with a vacuum cleaner this time it's a much more sucky motor :lar:

&c:ry

The other thing you could do if you don't want him in the tank is to keep him in the container but add plants and make sure he's not directly under the light, or cover the top with a cloth.

can Brutus go red like that or is it a trick of the lighting?

If it was me, and I was sure he couldn't swim behind something and get stuck if dead, I'd put him back in the tank and let him live his last days in his home. But depends on the situation and what his tank mates are. Some weak fish get attacked by the others and that's not very nice for you or the fish.

welcome newbie

were you having a baby?

I can't waste worms! Si_sphinx's worms look good but I think Auckland would be too warm now since mine have only done well in the fridge. I wouldn't get away with keeping them in the wardrobe, fridge is bad enough but I have a shelf to myself near the bottom so they don't get near the food.

yes but how do you get the worms out to move them? other than accidentally, like I have done :oops:

fi5hguy, you're alive!

last call pleeeeeeeeeeeaseeeeeeeee

yep that spreader tool is on the list for when we get the brake pads thanks :gpo2:

here is a simple answer to all the cat hair problems in life: just vacuum them directly from the cat's body what a helpful little beast :love:
