Hi Angela, Thank you for telling me about Monty and Henry. They sound lovely and Monty sounds like great fun! I used to have two hampsters a while ago called Goldie and Titch and they both lived until they were about 3. I missed them for ages but decided not to get any more. Yes, I have two crazy cats, Tao, who is a Burmese/Burman and Willow, who is just a black and white moggy. They are completely mad and are not a bit worried about fireworks so they insist on going out even though I try my best to keep them in. Yes, Javine, my guide dog, is fine with the cats. She has just had some teeth out but is fine now although I am looking for healthy dog treats for her which aren't too hard. She does enjoy her chocolate drops but I don't give her too many. Yes, I enjoy craft but, like you, am not a member of a craft club. I enjoy knitting and rug making and would love to make some Christmas cards but haven't got around to that yet. Hope you have a lovely weekend. bye for now, Lynn
