Hi well jive has come home again poor boy bounces about the place and it is has been 5 weeks but was wondering whether it would be "safe" to do the introductions this sunday? what does everyone think or should i really wait till tuesday?

He is currently rearranging his furniture :) little monkey that he is!
 
It's up to you. I did mine after a month. Guinea Lynx says 3 to 4 weeks and I waited 4 and a half.

Personally I would but it's really your choice.
 
Basically, you are pretty safe after 4 weeks - but there is always the slim chance of a "golden shot" - a bit like with having to take out a three weeks old boy.

If Sunday is convenient for you, then you can do the introductions then - you you're about 99% instead of 100% safe...
