    Look who I found in the little bedroom!
    Through the back door, into the conservatory, through the french doors and into the bedroom.
    I gave him a good talking to and showed him were the pond was.

    They're the most gentle creatures on earth. (Except when they see a slug!)

    They're thick too. They jump up at the french windows and in the darkness you have to look where you're treading as they haven't the sense to get out of the way,

    Yep, they've got jelly brains. :D

    Maybe, no brains but just jelly.

    We removed 15 railway sleepers from a garden in Oxfordshire at the weekend and there were two toads (just a knobbly sort of frog! ) disturbed by our activities. They just sat there whilst I tickled their noses. They didn't move! Stupid creatures. :rotfl:

    Bit like (some of) the humans watching the Tsunami wave.

    Nothing like this has happened before!!!! No previous experience to call on for advice???

    Capney, he was just waiting for you to give him a kiss so that he could turn into a prince!

    Or in Capney's case, perhaps a princess?

    We have a couple of toads in the garden and I can agree on their stupidity - I have to go out with a torch now at night to avoid stepping on them.

    Yes I know Capney. I've found frogs indoors too.
    The only answer is to look out for them and put them back outdoors where they belong,

    My brother lives in Australia and they find frogs indoors at the absolute pest level. Couldn't deal with that:(

    Awwe, it's cute! If I hear a scream from the kitchen I know it's either a frog, wasp or a big spider!

    Heard a frog croaking in the pond this evening, either it's a bit early or it knows something we don't! We've also had a plauge of mini froglets emerging over the last few weeks so I have the check the grass before mowing.
