[Sammybingo]

I doubt I will be taking a hamster, given I don't have one at the moment, and if I get one the week before in Rotherham I doubt it would be happy to be trailed around in the car so soon!

Very excited. When I got all bleary eyed at an adoption in P@H today Lucy reminded me to wait til the shows. I think she's looking forward to fluffy days out as much as I am!
