YORKSHIRELASS

Morning everyone

Just popping in quickly, I really need to get moving. In the end I didnt stop until 9pm last night, doing a bit more paid stuff, sorting the washing, tidying up etc.

Its going to be another busy day today, paid stuff this morning, will try and do a bit on job no. 2 this aft, kitchen jobs need finishing that didnt get done yesterday and I want to try and fit in a decent dog walk too.

Good luck Helen.

Oh and its a monsoon out there this morning, where did that come from? Luckily OH cut the grass last night - and doesnt the garden look so much better when the grass has been cut??

Good morning Flyers, long time no see, after just ending up having a mini breakdown in the kitchen, I slipped and fell over mount recycle and whacked my elbow on the door handle, I'm getting my wings out later, dusting them off and sorting this chaos out again! I've been vet diss organised this passed year (or 2)

Don't let me skive off, my main jobs today will be visit the tip! After my morning out if the house. And job to do every night is get the recycling outside in the appropriate receptacle!

Pulled out the new WM last night as it occurred to me that I hadn't seen the installers remove the transportation bolts, only to find a puddle underneath it :mad: Seems they've dislodged the waste pipe a bit and it was dripping, I've fixed it now. Should've saved myself twenty five quid and fitted it myself!

Breakfast dishes WUDUPA, DS1 and DH waved off, DS2 sulking in the kitchen. Off to the paid stuff for a few hours, another kitchen to scrub today, joy!

Fairy dust, I have mice on the odd occassion over the winter, I also have a cat, I clean the cupbaords / draws out with dettol or similar strong smelling, then I leave the doors open so if mice are about the cat (hopefully) can get in and get them! never see them (mice) again, but I don't think that is down to the cat, as he spends most of the night times asleep on the bed with us!! I always keep all open food / half bags of food in sealed tubs.

GUAG's should be home with you all now, so use wisely and have a little me time as well today

About to tackle end of year accounts for job 2, then later rotas for job 1!!

Morning ladies!

I'm in again please. I'll take it a bit easier today as I may have overdone it a little yesterday. I did quite a bit in the bedroom anyway so not too much to do today, plus I want to get several loads of washing out today before the rain sets in tomorrow.

Pinch and a punch for the first of the month

Good morning all

Paperwork for me this morning as I have several meetings today, hopefully I'll fly a bit this afternoon (but I may plant seeds instead )

Lasagna I soak my pasta sheets in boiling water before assembling and cook for much longer than 20minutes.

Welcome newbies and enjoy your second day those who joined yesterday.

Kaz - postman has not been yet so trusting my parcel will arrive

Hello

Last week was a bit of a disaster & didn't really fly much so was planning to get back on track this week.

Yesterday afternoon I found that I have field mice squatting in my food cupboard :eek: :eek: :eek: & so my kitchen is now immaculate & so is my tins! I went out and bought a heap of those Kilner jars to put dried stuff in but I also chucked out things like my pasta, icing sugar, pearl barley, etc that had been opened but folded over as I'm terrified that mouse lice would get in as well as urine _pale_. I found some more poo this morning in the cupboard :mad: so bought one of those humane traps so I'm hoping that it catches them. I'm not sure why I'm so terrified of them as I was a veterinary nurse for years & have held snakes, rats, lizards, gerbils, a tarantula etc that scare some people but the thought of mice in my house just sets me on edge!! As for the cat, well he is bl00dy useless, the scent of a cat is supposed to send them on to another house not entice them in!!

Has anyone else had this problem? I'm terrified of opening the cupboard in case they come running out at me lol.

Hopefully by the end of this week my house will be immaculate & mouse free?

Hugs to those that need them xx

I feel your pain - I am totally paranoid about mice in the house. Two years ago I had one scampering around (upstairs and downstairs) for several days before OH finally caught it by hand!!!!!!! ~~shudder~~ This was despite having put down about 16 traps and sonic devices. I was seriously thinking I would have to go and wander around the 24-hr Tesco as I was too scared to go to bed!!!!

Hi everyone,

Sorry to hear about the mice! They are cute but a nuisance. You don't want your cat to get them, trust me, they don't clean up after themselves...:eek:

I probably won't get much done today as am only home for 45 mins between work and kung fu and have to make dinner in that time but I will try
