    We had the same problem with visitors Shaggy....my lovely pest control man very nicely pointed out that we had Rolands rather than Mickeys _pale_ Took some time to sort as all our lofts are interconnected and there were one or two neighbours that just werent interested in sorting it. I did drink a lot during that time (and hubby took to wearing ear plugs at night...a habit he can't get out of now) Hope your mouse problem is only a short lived one. Can be a nightmare eradicating little visitors.


    Yes we think it's a problem 'cos we are in a run of Victorian Terraces - but we have tried to block all holes with steel wool. Trouble is the front and back doors are open a lot as the builders are still in our house....so the little vistors can just wander in...


    Hopefully we are on top of it...

    Probably not going to be AF Friday but will be Saturday so can I go for the weekend challenge with just the Saturday?? You got me when you mentioned dancing Homers :rotfl:

    Brilliant!
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Yeah sign me up for the weekend challenge please!! No plans this weekend so should be easy.


    Maman - No, not comfort eating. At my official SW weigh in on Saturday I'd lost 8.5lbs so I'm on a mission! :)
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.
    Challenge - be 14 Stone BY XMAS!

    Is anyone thinking of challenges for next year yet?

    I'm very seriously considering trying for the whole year AF. I was going to do 100 days (of a possible 111) from beginning of January up to Easter anyway. But the more I think about it the more I just want to stop drinking, and wasting money, altogether.

    fatrab if it's okay with everyone else on the thread I'd like to run the annual challenge again next year (and from now on) so there's that? ...

    Morning!!

    Sorry I've been absent for a few days, managed to break my ribs on Sunday while working on the car so have been off work and not feeling too great. Back today though and it's only sore if I breathe so I'll just need to refrain from that for a few weeks :D:D

    3/5 School nights
    11/26 AFDs
    12/26 TAFDs for today please Shaggy :)

    Oooh that sounds painful! Take it easy and feel better soon.
