Congratulations on your Bingo Blackout! Now you can rest up a bit, in between catching up on your housework, that is.

That was quite the adventure for the boys, and Murray, too. I loved the detailed description of what they had to go through to get back to normal, and Ianto saving the CCTV for Tosh didn't surprise me because it really would be helpful for her to be able to see exactly what the machine does. That, and he knew she'd get a kick out of it and would keep it to herself, unlike Owen or Gwen.

How hilarious that some alien race developed something like the Shrink ‘N’ Store. I loved the translation you wrote up. And how typical that the note that it needed repairing was stuck over the warning not to use it to shrink living beings, not that that would have done the boys any good in this situation.

Wonderful story. Thanks for sharing.

Repair people are the same everywhere, lol! They slap labels anywhere.

That's exactly why Ianto trusts her with the footage. Sure, she'll get a giggle, but there's valuable information to be had from what it shows.

I had fun with translating the lasbels. I wish I had a machine like that, but a more easily portable one. The device must have been made for creatures much stronger than us. I like the thought of carrying my car around instead of having to find a parking space, lol!

Thank you! There's a lot to be done, but I'm not going to rush. I'll get there and try to keep writing as well.

Glad you enjoyed the story!

I want a Shrink 'N' Store!! Of course only a functioning one. Just imagine the things you could do with it! I wouldn't need a new closet for all my clothes that are stuffed into it, I could simply shrink my clothes! Talking about clothes, whenever something is a little too baggy I could slightly shrink it and it would fit perfectly! And so on. You had some pretty smart ideas yourself and each sentence made me want that device more! :D

Oh, and I want a rat too! They're so cute! ^_^ Too bad cats and rats usually don't get along very well...

I loved this story! :) From the alley adventures to the de-shrinking, the comment about Owen's marshmallow heart, and Tosh being the only one who knows about Jack and Ianto's secret, it was amazing. (But I think if I was Ianto, I would have stayed that small just a little while longer to do weird things - like climbing and crawling all over Jack, for instance! xD)

And congrats for your Bingo Blackout!! You really did some hard work here, but I think it was worth it! :)

Thank you! I loved working out ideas for the machine, making it one of those must-have gadgets you see advertised on TV - it does this, and this, and there are attachments for doing this other thing, lol! I want one myself, it would be so useful! You could expand anything that got too tight as well!

Ianto just wanted to be normal before he got stepped on. Being tiny is scary.

Thank you! It took a lot of work, but I'm glad I did it!

This was just amazing and we can always count on the boys on being grateful with their helpers!

Thank you! My very first bingo and I got a blackout! timelordshines was my inspiration and my main cheerleader, telling me I could do it!

Glad you liked the story. =)

Hee, that was so cute! And the boys ended up with a new pet!

Congrats on completing the Bingo card! :D
