I just found out I have a flatmate.
I live on my own, and this has come as a big surprise.

I wasn't given any notice about them moving in.

I've even checked my tenancy and it doesn't say anything about sharing.

I only noticed when I went in the kitchen and noticed him.

He ran away and disappeared behind the bin.

Nice one!
Gets a click from me!

Cute fuckers, mice.... annoying, but cute.

One time Ms Hanky made me rush home cuz she had one cornered in the kitchen. Though I'm really not sure if it was the fucking mouse that had her cornered...

No pets
I can't have a cat here though. They never normally vist when I have a cat, I wonder why?

So Mellow and Spanky are both mouse lovers?

At least I got a click from you both?

I love mice
I love um so much it took me several hundred quid and a whole lot of time to mouse proof the flat...

I'd say they are my nemisis...

But I liked your post so you get a click. Cheers, buddy.

Seen him again
Now it's war, maybe,

Expandy foam, traps.

Anybody have any advice?

Wire wool
stuff it in all the holes and gaps in your place.

Either that or a fucking flame thrower.

The little fuckers can fit through a gap the width of a penicl, apparently...

Good luck!!!

Collapsible skeletons?
So that's why you can stick them up your anus without crushing them.
Or so I've heard...

You just reminded me
My ex missus was laying out an old lady after she had died. She was showing a new girl what to do. The body farted moving at the same time. The poor girl screamed, ran out of the room and never came back to work again.

Humane release
Purchase and enjoy a bottle of Paul Masson California White from your local offie.

The vase shaped bottle with pop-on-pop-off lid id an ideal mousetrap. Bait with a biscuit, lie it on its side and wait overnight. Mousie can't climb up the inside slope of the bottle. Pop the lid on and release him in the park.

NEVER buy sticky traps unless you would feel good about yourself if you came down in the morning to find a single tiny foot adhering to it: chewed off in agonising desperation.

This sounds better
I will purchase a few carrafe's of Paul Massons lovely wine. I remember Somerfields selling these at two for a fiver a few years ago.
I'll keep you informed. I Think I'll take him down the park.

We tried humane traps twice
Not in Edinburgh, but in Suffolk.

The first mouse gnawed its way through the bottom and leapt onto my mum's (unsuspecting) hand - cue screaming - when she picked the trap up. We never saw it again.


Mouse two starved and rotted. Dad commented there was a funny smell around the place, but no-one thought to check the traps...
