Hi Nicholle

I bought some coffee tables from Argos (in the UK) to keep my piggies off
the floor.

The web page reference is:

http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/6090461.htm

and details are:

Beech effect. Chunky style.
Size (L)90, (W)50, (H)45cm.
Packed flat for home assembly.

They are under 20 GB pounds.  I also put bubble wrap on top of the table
and under their cages (we call ours "cabins").  It would be possible to
have more than one table side-by-side for larger accommodation.  I find
this height is sufficient, without being too high to clean out the cabins
each night.  In the winter I also have fleece blankets which I drape over
the cabin roof at night, not enclosing them completely, but keeping in
their warmth.  Spoiled?  Certainly not, just what our masters expect and
deserve.

I had to have an estate agent round to value the house this week.  He said
I could move to a smaller property and have a purpose built OUTHOUSE for
the piggies.  What?  I don't think so, my piggies live indoors with me.
"Oh, I didn't mean outdoors," he said, thinking quickly.  Where else do
you have an outhouse, then?  I just said "No" and I think he understood.
He did admire and talk to my little piggies though, so all's well then.

Best wishes

Kay
