Just up Bunglie's street, I reckon. With some of those lovely plastic ribbon thingies instead of doors as well

WigWamBam · 10/12/2004 12:25

Mm, that's a thought.

Perhaps not. A nice big solid wooden one, then, with a portcullis, barbican and a few murder holes. That should do the trick Grin

I love my New Bigger 4 bedroom, 3 en-suite bathroom, 3 reception room and a double garage with a partridge in a pear tree cage....

BUT I CAN'T FIND MY MOUSE ?

OK no worries I had forgotten where I put it for saftey...it will dry...wont it?

Look everyone knows that all Bunglies need their water changes DAILY and I recon that I am owed a good few days....

A Bunglie is not just for Christmas....you can't buy us in Tesco's and so we last longer than the New Year....Grin

You've got plenty of water, I changed it when I kitted out your new cage.

It just hasn't got any voddy in it, you're getting into bad habits.

OP posts:
BunglieOnTopOfTheChristmasTree · 10/12/2004 14:55

But the Voddy is purely medicinal...as is the gin...the rum....the whiskey and the brandy....

More please.....Grin

No, it'll do you good to stick to water for a few days.

I feel a tantrum coming on...
I NEED VODDY* NOW

WigWamBam · 10/12/2004 15:12

Calm down, dear, it's only a bottle of water.

OP posts:
BunglieOnTopOfTheChristmasTree · 10/12/2004 15:15

I KNOW it is only water...that is why I am upset....
starts to nibble at WWB's picture.....

And there's nothing else until you learn to stop biting.

wobblystarryknicks · 10/12/2004 22:18

Bunglie - if you're nice to me I'll buy you some vodka jelly treats!!

(wwb, don't shout at me - they'll knock her out for a few hours and we can get her hair brushed)

Bribery ... but I suppose it saves having to get her sedated while we get the vet in to trim her toenails as well.
