WOW MP, that is exciting and scary at the same time about the job. Do you current bosses know that you've been looking elsewhere? I hope your skin keeps improving too

Oz, no need to apologise for not keeping up. I see you are flat out with shoots so it's no wonder you can't keep up

Cass, I understand 100% what your friends are going through. The only thing that saved my sanity when L was hit by a car was that I didn't see it so I never had that visual in my mind, but imagining what it would have been like for him was horrific enough I hope he is OK and heals quickly both physically and emotionally.

Andie, we use the sachets of poison paste because it makes no mess - they just spread the pellets around otherwise and it's hard to know if they are eating them.

Arte, how was your night last night?

Well after catching two yesterday, last night I saw FOUR of the little ****ers - one in the loungeroom and 3 in the kitchen. Two of the ones in the kitchen looked like they were either fighting or ****ing LOL - I'm hoping it was fighting because the last thing we need is for them to breed inside. But they have also started nesting inside the stove and they have been pulling out the insulation in the sides of the stove. One even ran out of there as I was vacumming all the insulation out. I'm so ****ed off about that. So it is Operation Kill Mice today and we're doing everything we can to deter them. I put a small dish of bleach where they are getting up in the stove and I'm hoping the smell of it deters them and we've taken the front off the stove down the bottom so it's more open - that might not make a difference but with the bottom part on there it is all enclosed. DH said they are that bad out at his work that they just sit at their feet now all around you - he said its nothing to have 6 or more of them at your feet while you are working. They gave up trying to kill them out there because the stench of dead mice was far worse than the stench of live ones.
