Morning.

I am going to sound like a mad lady.... There are birds in my loft (think I mentioned this before) and last night I convinced myself that another noise in my loft was mice as well. Talk about the fear! So could not sleep then convinced myself at 3am that it might be in my room so changed all furniture round my bedroom checked everywhere and still never slept. This morning about 530am it was still making noises of the same so I may think maybe a bird got caught and thats the noise I am hearing also.... so here is the crazy lady appearing - I had googled and says play either hawk noises and or distressed bird noises to scare them away so I was blaring this on youtube in my bedroom below where noise was coming from, I got tinfoil and put this out on the window ledge as apparently they do not like their reflection and when I took the bin out I turned round and saw the main rascal daddy figure who taunts me at the entrance to my loft.... and I went mental 6:00 am by then shouting at a bird honestly you cant even make it up tried to get my sons water gun try scare it away but no tbh I think the bird was mocking me.... so yeah interesting morning and no sleep... Convinced myself I was gonna be poisoned by birds and had mice everywhere...

So anyway apart from confirming my absolute crazy lady theory.... 9 days until payday thank god! I am thinking about getting pest control to get rid of them and taking it out my couch fund for peace of mind but my brother in law is going to go have a look... I hope he will at least.

So em yeah dramatic lassie here hahaha xx

Pest control won't move them if there are babies there......we had a next in our loft last year thankfully the babies had left the nest so we were able to block their entrance xx

Just when I feel money wise getting better, I come home to a letter from HMRC saying I owe them 170 (just under) and to pay back within 30 days. Spoke to people in work and told me to querie it and state pay back monthly like 30 a month. Absolute joke!? said overpayment in 2014....5 years ago? xx

If you are going to ring them, try before 8am. BUT whatever rubbish they tell you you must ask them to confirm in writing. Sad to say they are no longer to be trusted!
