As you may be able to guess by the cushion cover and cake above, it was my housmate's birthday this week. To celebrate, we went for a meal at Las Iguanas, It was a delicious meal and lots of fun, its so nice to get a big group of us in one place to celebrate together. Above is a few photos from the night.

1: Me and Luke looking very attractive, 2: Me!, 3: Birthday drinks, 4: Me and the birthday girl struggling to keep straight faces, 5: Me and Luke again, looking a bit more normal, 6: The birthday girl and Liam, 7: Aj, drinking a very manly cocktail.

We also had really good and bad news with the rattie family this week. Petal who was one of my first rats and was 2 years old, sadly passed away. She will be really missed :( You can see her little face in the photo on the right. Also below is a photo of Luke and the remaining members of the rat family.

However, there is now a new addition, below is little Ethal. She is brown and white with a grey chin. We've only had her a couple days but already she is very brave, taking to us very quickly and getting on really well with the other rats. She is so cuddly and excitable and I think she is going to fit in well.
