Justamum-have you checked that you haven't got any loose cereal/oats laying around s that may be something that is drawing them into your kitchen. They may well have nibbled a hole in one of the boxes :nono:

It doesn't help having a toddler who likes to leave a trail of crumbs wherever she goes :rolleyes:. We did find some fruit with large bits bitten out of them (we have our fruit in a three layered vegetable trolley in the kitchen).

I'm on a mission today to clean up any stray crumbs. "We will fight them in the kitchen, we will fight them in the lounge . . ."

Justamum –Poor you, I hate those meeces to pieces. It is the shock of seeing them that makes you scream I think. Ours don’t seem to have come back yet this year. I wonder if those ultra sonic scare thingies are any good? Have you thought about getting a cat?

We used to have a neighbour with one of those ultra sonic things. It used to drive me mad - I thought they were supposed to be aimed at animal hearing.

I would love to get a cat, but my DH and DS are both allergic so that's out of the question. I wonder where I can buy a python? :rotfl:

Right, this is getting me nowhere. Off to clean. See you all later.

Hex well done on the full marks WTG :T I love the peg bag avatar too made me want to snigger muttley style when I thought of the peg fetish gang, Kath Kidston I take it?

Glad you're feeling brighter DeniseNZ x

Dishes done, kitchen S&S'd, rubbish out, brew being consumed....and lo and behold the sun's come out :j

Tell me about it. I know exactly what you mean with regards to the crumbs. My DD is the same,

Did I say that I got full marks on the first two assignments? Shocked because it was mood boards and technical drawings – I can’t draw and I have absolutely no taste. Really pleased with myself and looking forward to the rest of the course a lot more now. Not as impressive as GnB and the algebra score though – congratulations!

Full marks in two assignments you did not feel comfortable with is a great achievement.
Well done!!

anyone up for HHC 945, need to shift bum

Toots it's great but I've been buying for weeks (bits and pieces) so I'm in real danger of sickening myself (been done before :rolleyes: ) I've got Christmas on the brain but I just can't help myself....think I'm making up a bit for last year too when I ws below the poverty line never mind on it, so what can you do.....It's not hurting anyone I suppose.

Drat! did I miss the HHC.....shame

justamum All mine were crumb trail leavers and I'd like to say it gets better but it doesn't they're 24/19/16 and 8 now and they still leave a trail of devastation behind them....teenies the worst, it only stays clean and tidyish because 2 don't live at home anymore and the other 2 are out all day :rolleyes:
