An Unexpected Visitor...Again...

Ok....... long boring post.... but like Im bovvered if you read it or not lol - oh and the boxes o'crap will be posted off in the morning.... sorry about the delay... but tough tittie, Ive been busy LOL

Bugger me what a week..... up to me eyes in this below...



I cant believe I decided to do a 2 year college course in 9 months at home whilst trying to work and sort the house and garden and everything home here lol...



See that huge folder with the few notes, well it will be full to bursting by the time I will of finished this qualification... 2 out of 11 papers done and dusted with high credits :).... maybe Im cleverer then I think I am lol

Its taking over me life.... hours and hours of bloody work, and assessments and the assessor sitting in on my day taking observations.... I WISH I HAD NEVER STARTED lol

Sooooo thats just one tiny excuse as to my disappearance....

Its been beautiful spring weather here this past week and hopefully it will continue into the weekend..... Ive been trying to put all me bank accounts and saving accounts in order for when the time comes to rob peter to pay paul when I loose Sprite and J in a fortnight... Im brill at juggling little income and Im usually at me most creative when Im skint LOL.... fank gawds I DONT have one penny of debt except me little mortgage, and I do have a little bit of savings hidden in me hiking boots lol.....

I might have to sell me body down the Guildhall behind the lion statues, but when I thought about it, I doubt I would even earn enough for me busfare home LOL

Anyways..... does anyone remember last year and this post dear little chewy that we saved from me cat...... go look at the lovely photos in this old post..

Well, about 3 weeks ago we had another MOUSE incident.... this time it was Ambrose that came galloping in through the catflap carrying a squeeling wriggling little dormouse..... I shouted at me cat at the top of me voice, and it scared her so much she opened her mouth and the mouse fell to the floor and ran under the washing machine.... there was nuffin I could do to get the little mouse out..... I thought the cats would eventually catch it and there will be nuffin I can do...... but, catch the mouse they didnt..... it must of crept out at night and stole and nibbled their food and drank their water.... and as the days went by I forgot about the little dormouse that was living under me washing machine...... UNTIL.... I was in me kitchen late one night bunging the kettle on for a cuppa tea..... as I stood there waiting for it to boil, I watched as a little tiny dormouse crept along me kitchen window sill and behind me toaster where it sat nibbling on toast crumbs.......

Bloody hell..... argghhhhhhhhhh no matter how much I like cute little mices there is NO WAY a dam mouse was gonna have the free run of me kitchen........ and when I found a little mouse poo on the window sill THAT WAS IT.... its fate was sealed....it had to go.... I called all 3 of me cats (yes we now have 3, thats another story lol) to which they all came running into the kitchen thinking they was getting a treat...... I picked fatcat up and placed him on the kitchen sink where the mouse was staring back at me from the window sill....it was a big mistake... all hell then broke loose lmfao......the cats went crazy knocking dishes into the sink and stuff onto the floor, the poor mouse ran for its life and I screamed and hobble jumped onto the kitchen pew LOL..... Jacob and Sam came running only to both climb on the pew with me lmfao..... to dam funny....

we watched as the 3 cats sat infront of the washing machine pawing under to try and get the mouse, but as we watched, it crept along the base of the kitchen units behind the daft cats LMFAO..... and through the babygate across the kitchen door and behind some of the toy boxes in this middle room.....

This was now all out war....



This is Sam after pulling out a few of the toy boxes, everytime I said 'there it is' he screamed like a girlie lmfao.....

We didnt catch the mouse that night.... but it continued to leave mice poo on the window sill so I knew it was still alive and I was constantly anti-bacterial washing all the units down in the kitchen....

It had to go, it was doing me head in, it was getting to clever... it had found its way into me popping corn.... I didnt want it to die though, I aint that cruel, but it had to be caught..... so, I went down to our village hardware shop and saw the bloke that works in there, he thinks Im mad most of the time as it is, but this day he must of thought I was mental LOL



This is our little hardware shop.....

He says, hey Mel what ya after... Im always in and out of this little shop for the odd nail or screw or to get a key cut (that is another story), or to just give him hassle LOL.... so I says..... I have a mouse, its been in me kitchen now for over a week, and its getting crafty and its clever and I WONT LET IT WIN.... I want a mouse trap.... ok he says and he brings me out a traditional mouse trap that ya put cheese on a spring trap and when the mouse grabs it, it flips and crushes the poor little mouse to death... thats 2 quid he says...... BLOODY HELL I reply, I aint no murderer, I want one of those humane traps Ive seen on the telly, I'll catch the mouse and take it up the woods and let it go..... oh he says one of those.... well, those are 4 pounds 50 ($9).... jebus I say, the cost of being humane and kind and caring to little creatures is ridiculas.... thats more then double the price of snapping the little mousie git in half and squashing its guts out.... yep it says, being kind is expensive and he laffs knowing full well I would buy it whatever the price....

So I take it home stuff the end with cheese and ham and a love heart sweet so that the mouse would have a variety of things to choose from lol and I placed the little trap where I thought it would walk on its way to the toaster.... 2 days and nuffin...well I say nuffin, the treats in the trap had gone but no trap had been sprung and no mouse caught..... I told the bloke in the shop that I wanted me money back cos the trap aint worked, he just laffed at me and said they dont do refunds and just to give it time, so I replaced all the treats and waited and waited.... and both me and Sam stood one night in the kitchen and watched the dam mouse run over the top of the trap LOL..... we chased that dam mouse all over the kitchen side that night and eventually we cornered the little bastard behind me KenwoodChef LOL and shoved the open trap in the only little gap where the mouse could escape......

DONE AND DUSTED..... we caught the little bleeder.....now to tease the cats and to teach the mouse a lesson...



Take that you peskie little mouse.....



And if I could be bovvered to scare you I would LOL....

Now what to do with the mouse..... Sam suggested putting it in something bigger, so what did he do, he only went and got our FRIBBLE glass that me and Jacob stole oops, I mean borrowed from a burger joint whilst we was in Maine....



See aint he cute....



Anyone would of thought Sam had slain a lion instead of just catching a little dormouse lol



Now we can never use the stolen oops borrowed Fribbles Glass, cos its had a mouse in it...

It was late and we didnt want to let the mouse go in the back garden cos we knew one of the cats would stalk it and catch it, so Jacob suggested he put it in one of his empty lizard glass thingies.... and keep it for a few days to make sure it was ok and then we could let it go..... thought that was a great idea, and that way the minded nippers could watch the little mouse in the glass cage for a few days and they could learn about wild animals lmfao.... sounds like Im talking bout a bear or moose LOL..... so the little mouse was put in this....



The poor dormouse spent 2 days being hounded by nippers and me cats, eventually Jacob took it upstairs to the quiet of his bedroom.....

I forgot all about the mouse for a few days and when I remembered I said to Jacob.... do you still have the mouse..... no he said....... did you let it go, I said...... no he said..... dont say the cats got it...... no he said...... well where the bloody hell is the mouse, I said...... its dead he said....... dead? I say...... after all we went through its dead? WTF..... how?...... he said he didnt want it to get cold so he turned the heat pad on which he use to use for one of the scorpions when it was in the glass thing....... oh that was nice I said......... only the stupid mouse chewed through the wire and electricuted itself he said....... a fortnight of hassle and mouse poo and chasing the dam thing around the house, a now useless stolen, oops borrowed Fribble glass and 4 pound 50 pence ($9) wasted..... I asked him what he had done with the mouse, he said..... I fed it to me lizard LMFAO......

RIP little dormouse, I tried to save you, but you were your own worse enemy....

I told the bloke in the hardware shop yesterday... well actually I was just walking past and he came rushing out and asked me about the mouse.... he laffed and laffed.... yep he said, sounds about right for your mad house......

HOW RUDE lol

Enough boring Twaddle for a dark Friday Spring Evening.....
