    Today I took one of the 'questionable' necklaces to be tested. It IS as it says it is, so that buyer is having it on.

    Whilst at my mums house, my sister called me into her room. Another mouse. :) Cutest we thing you ever did see. After investigating the rest of the house I found that they're comming in through my mums built in bedroom wardrobe. There's a 1cm gap and signs of animal activity. There is some grease on the wall from where their little boddies have been rubbing against the entrance/exit of their home, and of course some tiny mouse poo.

    The mouse I caught is probably a runt, poor wee thing only has one eye. PLEASE don't have a go at me, but I've addopted it :o He's been fed, watered and is now making his bed out of toilet paper :)

    That's about it from me for now xx

    Why would we have a go at you?

    Good news on the necklace though. Hopefully your "buyer" will back off pretty quickly.

    Och, I didn't think it would cause a huge uproar, but I know part of me is thinking 'release him, let nature take it's course', the other part is saying 'a life is a life, take care of him'. Meh, it's the animal lover in me I guess.

    Yeah, i was so pleased when the jeweller confirmed that for me. Oh, and the buyer's paypal and address are unconfirmed, that's a bit of a worry too. Did you have a look at his bidding history by any chance Hypno? x

    hmm, not sure what to make of him. But be fairly sure that if the item is as you say it is, then he will soon back off. You are in the right, so try not to worry (easier said than done, I know, but you can't do any more than you are doing right now).

    Perhaps you could send him an envelope full of mouse poo......:confused:

    heh - I love it; DF could be the board's mascot! He's cute! I couldnt have one though, it would quickly be a limp pile of fluff with my cat! Speaking of which, she caught a bloody wasp as it was flying mid air today and killed it :eek:

    He's adoreable. He's so teeny my cats don't even know he's there! RE the wasp, they're skillful wee bums thoose cats. Babes being older and not so nimble theese days found a spider and spent the best part of twenty minutes playing 'lets jump up and down on the spider untill its legs fall off'. Nice.

    I'm heading down to my mums for a visit tonight, and taking my mouse catching tub to catch and release anymore healthy mice I find. Poor mammy :rotfl:
