Hi all

On Sunday i lost Marge for the secound time, I was feeding her as usual in a tub in the kitchen when i got side tracked by a really good game on my phone.....

After about 20 mins I remembered Marge in the tub but she was not there!!!!

my wife and I turned the kitchen upside down, no luck.I pulled out all the appliances, still no luck.
about 3 hours later i spotted her head on the top of the dish washer,which was full and going.
I tried to grab her but she dissapeard back behind the dishwasher, i had no choice but to pull the dishwasher out and rertrieved Marge but ripped a hole in the lino in the kitchen.
As you can imagine this went down well!!!!!

Come on Mama he's a bloke, you know we can't multitask plus there are mitigating factors, it was probably a good game

After the panic of losing mine I like to think i would not be.......lacking in intelligence enough to forget about them and let them wander off AGAIN! Sometimes they dont come back mate so you should probably be more careful!

If this had been the first time he lost Marge I would agree, however to lose her again through nothing but stupidity, I disagree snakes escape yes, but to lose her while you are playing games on a phone irresponsible.

Hi all

Thank you for the many and varied replies.
Lesson learned, The first time she escaped was between the glass in her Viv, so I only count it as one escape to Technology related issues.
The conversation with my wife relating to the state of the kitchen Lino is still ringing in my ears.
Thanks again

Glyn
