I forgot to mention that our aunty (I think that's what she is to me???? the family tree on my mum's side is muddled up) gave us about 11 really big goldfish. She told us that she was going to throw them into the nearby river and that we could have them if we wanted. If we didn't want to look after them, we could eat them! We decided to keep them as pets, but we then realised our fishtank is pretty small! They are all swimming in there at the moment, which kinda looks like the Auckland traffic. Our water filter's been playing up as well. It seems as though the water isn't being filtered as fast as it is being pumped! This means that we've had a big puddle form under the fishtank.
Looks like our cat now has the choice of going for the fish, or going for the birds! We can guarantee that each of our pets will be safe and we will look after them very well ;)
