Well here I am, killing time until 1am (I figure any disasters will hopefully be done and dusted by then) and it strikes me that I don't have any pets here.
Super Hans and Lucy are still at my parents' house, along with my minnows. The fish are supposed to be joining me eventually, but I don't think I want the hamsters here. If they ever got out I'd never see them again. They would keep me awake at night. Plus, Super Hans is on his last paws, and I don't want him to snuff it here. It also goes without saying that my parents probably look after them better than I did. Truth be told, I think my dad likes them more than me.
Anyhoo.
At home I also have a spare fishtank, the one I raised the baby goldfishes in.
In this flat, I have a spare desk. A long, wide desk. Long enough and wide enough to house the minnows, and just one of these:

I got me a hankerin' for a fancy goldfish.
Can you think of a single occasion I have ignored such a hankerin'?
Me neither

But...but..that space could be used to house books and also to study at...you am there to do the learnin.........
Who am I kidding, I bet you have picked a name for it already.
And just a thought. It could lead you open to ransome demands from student twats who think it would be a laugh to fish-nap the critters from your room.
god I am an optimist today....
