Folding Mum (and we're not talking washing!)

"Mum, it's time we got a new Hamster"
"No, well, errr, I like pets and all that but I'm enjoying running on a Friday rather than cleaning out a cage"
"I'm old enough now, I'll look after it myself."
"Hmmm, I never asked you to be responsible before, I've always committed before."
"I'll commit, I've got the time, and you can pay me to do it."
"So you're asking me to buy you a pet I don't want and then pay you to look after it"
"Yep"
"Nope"

Bugger, I folded again!

At least the cats get 'take out' tonight, saves them the effort of slaving away at a hot 'stalker'!!
