yeah, the oldest mouse in the show, Joe's going to have that mouse stuffed and enter it!

That bloody thing...maybe it wont make it through the winter. :twisted:

LOL.Well I'm knackered.Been up since 4.30.Great to meet new and old faces.Gonna get a drink and watch the x factor.

quick first act is on now.

It was great to meet everyone today. And thanks to Phil and Dave for all the info they gave us about the different mice. I gave two new friends a lift home and came away with 3 lovely siamese so I was well pleased! Tom is really looking foward to getting some chins in the future. I think we both have the bug now! lol

Well done to all the winners. They all looked stunning to me!

My telly's gone bung. My cable connection for TV is very flaky. Very good with sounds, but the picture does all kinds of weird things. It's annoying when I turn the sound off and just watch the pix, I end up with nothing much that's good....I keep saying I'm gonna switch, and someday, Ill get ticked enough to do it, probably the next time my favorite show goes bad.

Phil said he won with a Adult Black.

it was great meeting you.Bandits still going on about Michelle

Yeah was nice to have newcomers there yesterday, sorry i didn't get to speak to people that much as i was stewarding and paying much attention to Terry Thorne. I would thoroughly recommend spending time stewarding, i learnt so much.

I was extremely gutted that my mice were the wrong colour! gosh something so obvious but Terry put me right; I spoke to him after and he praised the health and type of the mouse and advised me on how to get my colour right, but with blues its going to be a long slog; so people might see a different variety being shown by the Madhouse until my blues are up to a decent standard. This is why you have have to show your mice, so you know where you are going wrong or where you need to go next!

Thanks to Phil (seawatch) for my beautiful trio of chocs, i'll be working them too, but they are lovely!

I thoroughly enjoyed the show experience and i can't wait to have some mice to enter again soon!

Blues are really tricky, I bred them 2 years or so ago and managed to get a few into a show and some were placed in their class and one I remember did quite well relatively think it was 2nd in the self u/8 challenge cant quite remember. It was my first time breeding selfs (and Id only been breeding mice of any variety for a year) and I managed to mess it all up by selecting too much on colour and I lost all type and health in my lines, eventually most of them stopped breeding and any of the decent ones left I sold on.

It was a great atmosphere at the show yesterday. I enjoyed meeting the new guys, and especially catching up with Sarah and Mark.........The boys are back in town!!!!

Well done Phil!
