Oh dear .. I must be one weird mother then, I actually brought my DS bugs* one Christmas (complete with terrarium and kit to look after them of course!). It confirmed my suspicion he was not ready to look after a hamster Grin.

I always think it's a mark of extreme stupidity to beat a joke to death.

I have no milk for my coffee til the shopping is delivered, I reckon that's more interesting than this bug in a pot thread Hmm.
