I have heard mice like chocolate. It might be worth donating a square if yours doesnt like peanut butter. Of course a large bar would need to be purchased to provide said square.1

Hmmm. A peanut butter refuser. Could be time to bring out the big guns....a chunk of mars bar.

Funnily enough many (many) years ago when I lived in a shared student house we got invaded by mice, and one night I was rudely woken by one of the little darlings munching its way through a cream egg on the bedside table right next to my head. Irrational I know, but I shook with fear for the rest of the night and lay in a puddle of sweat in case it decided to run on to the bed. I never slept there again, gave the landlady notice later that day.My mortgage free diary: https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/6498069/whoops-here-comes-the-cheese

That is a persistent mouse! Maybe he has a nut allergy?DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

No new mouse activity but I dreamt I had a cat last night so maybe dream cat was keeping it away
Steps for Dr's appt, they found a polyp in uterus and will be referring me to gynae but evidently aren't that worried as apparently I should expect an appointment in 12 months 😂🙄😂

Guess what arrived in my post today..... Mouse traps! I hope I have more success catching pantry mouse than you have had with yours.
Although, my neighbour did tell me a few days ago that he's found 2 mice in his house, so maybe pantry mouse got bored of my ryvitas and garam flour and went next door for better snacks. Next door have 2 cats so those snacks would have to have been worth the risk.
I hope you found something tasty to have for your dinner.Debts 04/01/25 01/07/25

I did wonder if these mice could read & had realised that peanut butter etc had become a major no so had found something else they liked.0
