The New Hamster has not proved amenable to prize-winner-choosing-training. Instead he escaped from his cage and hid behind the bookcase in the dining room, and only came out when alternately threatened by The Doctor and a stick, and bribed by me and some sunflower seeds.

Jacky, you seem to have a lot of luck in my giveaways!! I'll be in touch to sort out getting your prize to you.

Congratulations to Anna and Jacky - but I do wish I could give away prizes to everybody, thank you for all your lovely comments xx

And that's Blogtoberfest over for another year! I'm already looking forward to the 2011 edition. Many thanks to Tinniegirl and CurlyPops for hosting us again :-)
