Well today just gets better and better - we've discovered evidence of a rat under the kitchen sink 😱
I have a reasonable tolerance of mice (ours are usually field mice) but I have NO tolerance of a rat in the house 😱 everywhere is being scrubbed, traps are being set, and they've got to the end of the weekend before I call in the professionals 😱4 -
We’d never watched traitors either Cheery, but had heard it was good, and have been hooked by this series too. No spoilers please - am keeping Sis company in hospital while Niece is in surgery - not sure when I’m going to get to see it!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Just caught up. Sorry re job. Hope rat gets in trap and can be relocated to said HR deptMade it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became
In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!7 -
@Cheery_Daff they simply don't deserve you! Too d*amned ignorant to pour p*ss from a boot, if you'll excuse the expression. Imagine how they treat people who work there! You've dodged a bullet there Mrs. Good things lie in wait for you love Humdinger xx5

🤭😂😂 that made me laugh out loud! 😂😂Watty1 said:Just caught up. Sorry re job. Hope rat gets in trap and can be relocated to said HR dept
Oh bless you, you are all so defensive of me, it's so nice 🥰🥰 Oddly enough i asked them all what it was like to work there and they all said it was great (I mean, they weren't going to say anything else in that situation, of course).
Hey ho, we'll see whether the day brings feedback. Or a rat! I didn't hear the trap go off, but neither did I hear anything scurrying around. Now is the moment of truth... Will report back...5 -
Erm... you're not back. I'm hoping this doesn't mean the rat won.4

Ha, oops, sorry, got sidetracked with things like breakfast and work 😂greenbee said:Erm... you're not back. I'm hoping this doesn't mean the rat won.
No sign of the pesky thing - either in the trap or in any other form. Very mysterious.
Traps will remain set, and we will remain vigilant. Mr C is on tidying and disinfecting duties today!3 -
Rats are very suspicious of new things, so it may take a while for it to get used to the trap rather than avoid it. You may want to invest in some poison (I don't like doing this as it's not good if they go outside to die and are eaten by wildlife, but it's fine if it's then unwell and you trap it) or invite a friend with a terrier over...4
