They used to say cider was no good unless there was a rat in the barrel, the alchohol should have killed off any bugs , he'll never rot if you bury him as he was well pickled.!

I've got the mouse guilts again today...

Daughter number 2 informed me that the cat had a 'rat' in the lounge and that it had attacked snowball. So I started moving furniture etc to try and get this thing out. couldnt' find it though.
carried on with a few jobs then took hoover into lounge, as I moved one of OH's heavy duty speakers I found the very flat mouse where I had pulled it forward, mouse had obviously snuck under to hide and splat, i put it back down. I will not go to heaven at this rate. I am a bad mouse murderer this week.

R.I.P. little rodent.

This should be a warning to all rodents who drink to excess, and the picture posted on
all cellar doors.

Reminds me of a couple of weeks ago when I went to bed - thought I heard a rustle from behind the bed, pulled it out a bit, listened carefully but nothing more, so shoved the bed back and got in. Next morning was hoovering, moved bed to do behind it and found one very flat baby mouse.

Guess Rio had taken it in as a gift as the window had been open that evening.

I only seem to find strange cats in my bedroom - and I haven't managed to flatten any of them yet!

My poor old mum has just handed me a mouse in a large cup. She said "I know I'm slow but I'm really proud of myself as I managed to catch this one myself!!"

It was as stiff as a board!! daren't tell her that though

Well - a lot of people would run a mile when they see a mouse, dead or not... So good on her for "catching" this one!

That is very true, Ina! She is also feeling very sad today as she managed to run over a large spider she was trying to round up in her electric wheelchair. Sooner or later, word will get out not to visit our house if you are a bug, spider, mouse or any other vulnerable critter.

Think I need an electric wheelchair if they are good at zapping spiders.

They also appear to be good at ripping off skirting boards, denting fridges, scuffing freshly painted doorways and running over the toes of annoying daughters. At least my mum's is.

I know about them running over toes. I have several damaged nail beds dating from the days I worked with adults with severe physical disabilities. The worst was when someone parked on me. I said, ~"You're on my foot." "Oh sorry," he said without moving. Ouch.

The mental picture of that has at least given me a good giggle!

Last night a large spider climbed the wall above the door and headed across the ceiling directly for me. I had to run under it to escape. When I looked back it had gone. I thought it had jumped on me!!! Fortunately it had gone behind the curtains.
