it sounds like a mouse with false nails on ............hmmmm he is scratching and scittering along beside the fridge. Dam we will now have to go on mouse alert they do like the dog bisquits which are stored in the study oh this could be really anoying. Last time we tried what they call humane traps..........the dear little mice just nick the cheese and dont go in the trap. then we tried nastier one several finger tips later I caught a mouse by its tail and it just sat there regarding me with a black beady eye. What did | DO well released it into the field next door it was probably back in time for tea. I discovered they love chocolate (so do I) they even eat through the silver paper!
So now I have a cruel streak - the traps are sprung tightly and as soon as i hear one I put the mices out of their misery.
One year I was lying in bed when this noise started scritch scratch around my room I was seen with coat hanger dancing around banging and tapping back at it in the hope it would leave, the hospitality was too good and it ate all the red artifical berries on the garlands in the attic.
I am not a cruel person by any means so I do hope no one is upset by this blog. VG will have an image of me chasing a mouse with a rolling pin -once perhaps now Fibro means I just have to sit and listen to them ........................there he goes xgins

Gins ! Have you thought that this mouse problem may be you own fault.... If you give them pedicures and false nails of course they will feel at home and welcome.... And rolling pins are soooooo last year. Fortunately I have one easy solution for your mouse problem .... Enter the mouse eradicator .. Imagine me dressed as a ghostbuster arriving on a mobility scooter with my pet snake.... Loves mice ... For eating.... Loves people to curl up on afterwards and digest ... Though he is a bit lumpy after feeding... Don't worry he pounces, crushes and munches so quickly it's very humane, snakemane well however it's described they won't suffer.
sometimes they just come just to keep you company How kind methinks!!! although can't say I would choose these to be my friends - would need a VG mouse machine if they came to my house. xx
I love your tales Gins and VG, they make my day and I am sure so many others of us! Thank you both!
We had a little critter in our old house - the house was well over 100 years old so many hidey places for little creatures! Well this little vole or field mouse was so so tiny and it seemed to like our lounge. We would be watching tv and it would shoot (literally, so fast!) across the room and under our sideboard. Then it would dart across the other side of the room under the sofa where I was sitting. Imagine the scene, me straddling the sofa yelling! Hubby shot into the room almost as quick as the "mouse", we could never find him.
Once evening last Christmas, I had the feeling something was watching me, you know that odd feeling we get sometimes. I turned slowly to my left to see this little critter looking at me whilst clinging on to my voile curtains. I did a double-take (well you would wouldn't you!) and sure enough he was there all one and a half inches of him clinging, just staring at me. I froze in terror, which seems ridiculous now, but I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
The little critter leapt on to my elbow and I shot out of the sofa still with the little being attached to my cardy! Thankfully he shot off back under the sideboard and I was left with a rapid heartbeat needing a cup of tea to calm me down! I have never witnessed a little creature being so bold, I had no idea they would do this. I thought they were scared of humans! Not this little mite!
Another evening, again he shot across the room (every evening I was nervous these days because of my arm encounter previously!), he shot under the sideboard, he shot under the nest of tablets and this carried on for about an hour. I gave up watching tv, it made me too nervous! The next we knew, he was sitting on hubby's lamp table beside him staring at him! We whispered between us, me dreading what was coming next. Hubby was eating a yoghurt at the time! He put the small yoghurt pot down on the table and within seconds the little critter managed to climb up the side of the pot in front of hubby and I, clung on to the edge of the pot and started to lick the inside. He had been overcome by greed or hunger or both and in doing so had sealed his fate! Hubby slowly moved his arm over to the pot, bearing in mind now the little critter was head down in the pot and couldn't see us mere humans. Hubby tapped the pot and the little being fell in! Hand over the pot, being my hero, hubby went outside the back door and let the little fella out, he ran into the darkness. We never saw him in the house again, but I am sure he is terrifying someone else somewhere.
What a bold little chap he was, I will never forget him! At least he is free, I could never have killed him. He came out of it with nothing more than yoghurt on his head, so no harm done!
We live in the middle of nowhere surrounded by trees, the 'scutlers' move in to the loft space that has no access and then go on nightly rampages....as I dont sleep, well not much they seem to start just as I drop off. OH invested £60 in a pest repeller you plug in and it sends them daft so they go and dont come back......so far so good, but what was that bump I heard last night perhaps theyve brought backup as my Grandson would say...I do hope not lol XH
