Fantastic news ..x

He is in Leeds - just checking to see if I can collect Friday - if you are free would you like to come over with me??

Hi Helen, just a quickie, depending on what time you are going on Friday, I would love to come along with you. As soon as I get back into the office, I'll check my diary and see if I can get some time off.

Must fly......

Would Saturday afternoon be ok??

Saturday afternoon would be perfect Helen Would you like for me to drive?

Oh I feel like we're going on an adventure!

I would feel cheeky Melody but to be honest it would be really appreciated if you don't mind - would 2 ish be any good? We can get over and collect him and you will be able to have a natter with claire as well - mama is coming for you Ernie xx

No problem at all, I may have my 6 month old grandaughter with me as I am on Grandparent duties then. She'll be in her little car seat with a dummy in her mouth and she sleeps all the while in the car, will this be okay?

Eeeek! I am really properly excited :-)

Yaye!!!! This is when the week really starts to slow down ha ha

Congratulations melody he looks like such a sweetheart xxx

Have you got him yet ... ?

Hope the travel down wasnt to bad i did call Helen to safe journey .... Thankyouuu Claire for taking good care of him until we found him a home ..x

He is gone!!!!!!

I'm pleased he has such a great home with Mel, though.

Aww ... i bet Mel is really excited .x

She is - traffic was pants on the way home so just got in - Mel is on her way home with Ernie and she is a very happy hoggie mummy x

Yaye!!!!!!!!! I'm now PJ'd up and settlin down properly, poor Ernie started licking himself crazy once I put him in his new home, I then went to drop baby Eva off and when I came back he was fast asleep inside his little fleece snuggly bed in his igloo. I checked in on him and he made a few like clicky noises at first and looked kinda like but once out he had a little nosey about and then kept on licking my hand (I was waiting on a quick nip but he just kept licking away!)It must have been the sweat from me being nervous! He's now back in his new pad and is picking his little orange mouse up again, I can't believe he's making it squeak!Now I've finished typin this, he's gone back to bed!

A big huge massive belter of a thank you to Helen for organising everything for us and to Claire for being his fantabulous mum in the meantime!

Really pleased Melody - it has been a pleasure to find him a permanent home with a super mum - you are now owned by a hoggie xxx

Aww congratulations Melody .. thats fantastic .x Little tip i would try to deter him from licking just blow in his face as when they bite they bite hard ... it should let him no he isnt allowed to do it .. looking forward to seeing pictures of him in his new home x.

Congratulations Melody, can't wait to see piccies xx

Good morning again As today is Sunday, Ernie shall be Mr Ernest for the day.I stayed up late last night because my little man woke up about 11 and had a good nosie about his new home, we had a snuggle for a bit, I was a bit more relaxed and just had him on my knee watchin Johnathon Ross!Thanks for the blowing technic Lou (oooer, nowt rude meant here!) He had a munch of his food and a little bit of his drink that I saw so at least I know he's eating. Although there is still a fair bit of food in his bowl, how much should I expect him to eat? There were 3 little poos on his wheel and two on his kitchen roll so signs of night-time activity.
Once he settles properly I'm sure I'll understand his lovely little ways and vice versa.

Congrats mel xx
