    WaS, if it wanted to, it could gnaw through the door! :eek:

    Plus, if you don't block the hole, there may well be others!

    Humane trap bated with chocolate WaS Monty will not be able to resist the chocolate.
    Madam strolled in about 50 mins ago from 8am!
    Soaking and grumpy
    She's been fed and dried, jumped up for a love and conned me with the belly (luckily she doesn't bite hard)
    Like us the banging makes her jump and frown.
    Gone out again (I may have not her sleep as she was too cute she needed a squish)

    Tomcats happy, dogs are curled up on me. I have big pain in my belly

    Eeeep! We will block the hole! WaSp is going to go to the pet store first thing tomorrow to buy a humane trap, the bathroom is very small so trapping will hopefully be easy. There has been a lot of work on the house directly next door which has been derelict for years so we figure it has come from there.

    Ok, Melly! Chocolate it is! He is only little, I have seen a mouse bigger than Monty!

    On the bright side this probably means I actually leave my flat, I want to be the one who releases Monty to freedom. For some reason WaSp is shaking his head a lot and sarcastically calling me adorable, can't imagine why...

    Following my use of Dr Google I have decided I have kidney stones or appendicitis.

    It will be related to ovulation or my toilet habit (lack of) really, it hurts.

    Chocolate, jelly beans, grapes, whole eggs (raw, hole I the bottom with a needle)

    NOT cheese lol.

    Ouch Melly! Do get it checked out if it gets any worse please!

    Hahahahahaha! The first thing I said to WaSp was should I leave Monty some cheese in the trap? He also said no. I could leave some chocolate and an egg. I am worried about Monty being hungry because even if we trapped him early tomorrow we can't take him out until late at night, we don't really want the neighbours to see us rehoming a rat and we live on a really busy street!

    WaSp says I turn his life into a comedy, I am just giggling (and worrying about Monty's welfare!).

    Thank you! I wouldn't be so attached if he wasn't so young, his life has only just begun and he is stuck in my bathroom. He is very scared and runs and hides everytime someone walks in, I must rescue him and release him safely to freedom!

    Ha ha ha! I love WaSp's SOH, but you ARE adorable, actually :D Hopefully Monty and his little friends will find somewhere else to play, or will run into WaSp's trap and find a new life somewhere nearby.

    I have replenished the squish cupboard for all who need one! xxx

    I'll have a squish and take one for Monty! WaSp is actually highly amused at me, he is just pretending to be a grump. It was him who found Monty and told me I have a friend in the bathroom. I love him for not even considering that killing him was a possibility, he knows me very well.

    I am now picturing us both sneaking out of the flat like criminals with a covered rat trap at 1am. I am not quite sure where to release him though, I thought of near a barn but there might be cats nearby. Luckily there is a lot of countryside 20 minutes drive away so we should be able to find somewhere.

    Keep them. Even better if you have a second pair.

    When I still drank wine and my wrists got so damaged that I could no longer open screw tops, I tried all the usual opening aids, but nothing worked except two nutcrackers.
    You put one on the cap above the perforation and the others below the perforation. Then you grip and twist them both in opposite directions.

    Apart from that, if you get rid of them , you will definitely start eating nuts in shell,in the next month or two! It's the law of Mr. S!

    This!!! :T

    I use my nutcrackers as bottle openers, nothing else! :rotfl:
