Just returned from getting Alfie microchipped at the vets. Was traumatic! Alfie is in such a stress, she is sulking under her lamp and refusing strawberries! But at least i can send off for her new licence now :)

Hello all, Gosh, it seems like such a long time since i have been on here! We have had such a busy summer with moving! I wouldn't mind but we only moved a little way up the road! New house is looking good now that everything has a proper home, but after much painting, decorating, furniture...

Hello people, it's been a while! Now we are moved i have finally gotten round to organising Alfie... 1) Alfie seems to have gotten really big recently! She is weighing in at 320g, 119mm - is this about right?! Do i need to cut down on lettuce?! I have been feeding mostly greens, ran out of...

Hello fellows! I am sorry i havent really been around here much. Have been really really busy with the move (cleaning, painting, carpet man, moving stuff etc). I am never moving with a toddler again :P Hopefully another week now and its all done and i can reclaim my TFO position! Hope...

Any fellow forum members keep chickens?! I have wanted chickens for a while. Was thinking of going for a couple of either Speckldy or Blackrock/Rhoe rock hens. Both kinds are fairly docile, like free ranging, can cope with colder weather, and have soft feathers. The hens would be pets but i...

Today i got a phone call saying that i have been offered a tennancy for a new house! The new house will have two bedrooms, a bigger kitchen, parking and a garden which i do not have now. It will mean that Alfie can be out in the summer, and Ava will have somewhere safe to play! It is very...

Title pretty much says it all! Normally she potters about all day, today she has been frantic, digging, climbing the walls, charging about. Eating and doing her buisiness aws usual. Any ideas?

I don't know if this news will have reached the world yet. Cumbria is in northen England. It is used to low crime rates, safe neighbourhoods, and is a fairly wealthy county. Most of Cumbria is countryside. Police forces are small and used to petty theft and minor crimes. Today a man took...

Ok, i've been out in the sun all day long... 27 degrees here in England! Woooo! And it's only May! And so i thought i best share this with all those others who are always complaining about the heat :P! Alfie was loving it outside :) Ava was unimpressed and took herself off at 3pm in a...

Possibly opening up a huge can of worms here.... So the UK election is coming up next week. I was about set to finalise my voting choices but the more i think the more i think i wont even bother.... Gordon Brown called an ordinary woman a 'bigot' for asking ordinary questions. Nick...

Ok, i know this thread is a little late in coming and apologise for lack of organisation..... So I took Ava on a whistlestop tour of the US. We flew out to Florida for 8 days, then flew out to Colorado to meet with Stephanie and take a roadtrip down to the Grand Canyon through the Masse Verde...

Ok so i am an avid London marathon fan! I have watched it for years and years now, and i think it started when i used to run as a county fell runner when i was eight till about fifteen. So this year, Mara Yamatuchi is looking very good :D. There is some good competition from Germanay...

So, this week as well as trawling through all those posts i missed while away (what a lot of reading :P) I decided i was going to potty train Ava. There is this one annoying woman from toddlers who got on her high horse last week and told me "you shouldnt even be conisdering this, she is only...

I have been wondering for some time about feeding leaves from my blueberry bush. The bush is in my garden, no chemicals used, just sunshine and water. This time of the year the leaves look good, but no berries yet. Usually the crows eat them :rolleyes: and i havent found a sucessful way of...

I don't know how many of you are familiar with the pioneering work that goes on at Great Ormond Street Childrens Hospital, London. They preform complex and often risky surgeries on babies, toddlers and children. They are well known for pioneering and success in difficult cases. Funded by the...

Ok, so i picked up Alfie yesterday from the shop. I havent weighed her yet, but she seems to be healthy and in good shape :). She is, however, shredding some skin on her face. I have never seen this happen close to her eyes before. I had to give it a clean after a soak with a cotton bud as...

Heading out to the states on our mini tour tomorrow :) Will check in from time to time but not too the usual extent. Pictures to follow on return! And now i can finally join in on all the 'its so hot, we never get power cuts or snow' discussions! Good times! :P

The BBC have a current campaign called 'dig it'. It is focused on growing food yourself to eat. For anyone with small children, you might be familiar with 'the green balloon club' shown on cebeebies. Ava loves the 'green balloon club' its about some kids who go in a green balloon to search for...

Well, i have been looking forward to going to take Ava to 'dine with Shamu' on our holiday. Then this happens... "The killer whale that drowned his female trainer yesterday will not be put down even though he has been involved in two other human deaths, according to staff at SeaWorld in...

Ok ok, i am totally sad for being really excited about the 25th ani LIVE Eastenders episode on last night.... but it was immense!! And who would have thought it... i had my money on Max! :P But will she get away with it, or will the blame go on poor bradley.... What did everyone think? I'm...
