Sophie the Hamster
1st March 2008 - 28th January 2010
Sadly, our poor little Sophie passed away late Wednesday evening/early Thursday morning, at the age of 1 year and (almost) 11 months. While Andy and I are both very upset that she's gone, we are at least thankful that she died peacefully in her sleep and also at quite a good age for a hamster.

I saw this on
steerpikelet's journal and am rather curious.
All comments are screened initially, but will be unscreened by discretion. Anonymous is on if you want to make use of it.
Tell me what you thought of me this year, what I did that was good and what was bad.
Things you are happy about and things you are unhappy about, and why.
Perhaps recall a memorable occasion or remind me of something I shouldn't forget.
Tell me what you would like to do with me in 2008/9.
Once I have enough stuff, I'll collate the comments into a 'peer review', keeping all content anonymous, so you can see what you all think of me. I'll try and keep the bad as much as the good in there, but if anyone says anything too personal or mean or any secrets, I reserve the right to edit.
Edit: I've un-Friends Locked this post so that you can post anonymously if you want to.

Phone no worky

Mood:
grumpy
Andy's and my landline has decided that it's going to be grumpy. Whenever anyone tries to phone us, the caller ID comes up no problem, but when it gets picked up the noise coming through the earpiece sounds like a cross between a phone ringing and a drowning cat. And when we try to make a call, there isn't a dialing tone.
I completed a fault report on the BT website so they're looking into it and hopefully it'll be sorted out soon. I'll let everyone know when it's sorted but in the meantime, if you need to contact us, the mobiles are a good way to go!

Shopping

pleased
Over the last couple of days, I've been having fun and bought myself a few pretty things, for a good bit of retail therapy!
Skydiving Hamsters shirt (in Black/White);
Purple shoes from Next;
a yellow dress from Jane Norman (which is short enough to also wear over jeans); and
Red iPod nano (to replace my old iPod Shuff).
evath has very kindly given me one of his spare 100GB hard drives for all the music storage, so I'll probably be spending a lot of this evening updating iTunes/sorting out music/singing my heart out.

I have found another use for my super chunky study book:

It makes a great flower press.

Decision on a future pet

productive
After some discussions with
evath about which pets we would like to get in the future, when we have more space (guinea pigs/cat/dog?), I have now decided that I would like a pet anteater.
