Thanks for the replies girls, don't think the pet would work, who do you think would end up looking after it! As for the card making, his ideas are very different from mine, not sure how they would turn out - might even be better than mine - and we can't have that. How can I escape from him if I have to have a lap-top in the same room!!! But always open to ideas!! In the meantime, I am off to bed, have managed to leave him in the lounge!!!
