Combiner method - try again but runs ok on bash ..

could someone look into the code, please? runs ok on bash, tried different numbers both fl and int, checked the returned type is string, something is still off this equation..

running combiner(["cat","milk",3.5,11])
output: catmilk14.5 <type 'str'>

thanks so much, the People of Treehouse <(. .)> /bowing in silence/

instances.py 
def combiner(my_list):
    totals_string = []
    totals_int = []
    for element in my_list:
        if isinstance(element,str):
            totals_string.append(element)
        elif isinstance(element, (int,float)):
            totals_int.append(element)
    all_totals = ''.join(totals_string) + str(sum(totals_int)) 
    return all_totals

I just copy/pasted your code into the challenge and it passes for me - maybe try it again?
