Another Newbie Saying Hello

Post: # 182061Post JustInCase »

Well as I've just joined I thought I should at least say hello and introduce myself.

JustInCase, kind of sums me up in many ways as I keep everything (almost) just in case it comes in handy. I live with my son who's 11 and our 3 dogs, 4 cats, 4 chickens, 14 rats, 1 gerbil, 2 rabbits, 2 albino toads and 1 snake in the West Midlands.

I love cooking, making wine and also dressmaking and other various arts & crafts.

I could ramble on and on but I'll stop for now....

Hi, can't imagine how 14 rats, albino toads, or a snake could ever come in handy!

Thank you all for the welcome :grouphug:

I used to 'rescue' animals and the toads, rats etc... are from those days.

HI there and welcome :wave:
Let us be lovely
And let us be kind
Let us be silly and free

It won't make us rich
But damn it how happy we'll be!
