I only wish I were able to get up on the roof but am 3 months post op from a MPFL ligament replacement on my knee so not really mobile enough.
Off round to my Mum's to pick up her trap and buy a jar of peanut butter.
I think he is coming along the fence onto our extensions flat roof and then up to roof so will put trap there and hope he wakes the kids up in the morning outside their rooms.'Experience is the name everybody gives to their mistakes' Oscar Wilde0 -
Tabasco sauce your cable. Or, give him nuts until he agrees not to eat the cable.Squirrel!If I tell you who I work for, I'm not allowed to help you. If I don't say, then I can help you with questions and fixing products. Regardless, there's still no secret EU law.
