Be happy, be healthy and have a good holiday everyone

A bitter/sweet time for me as both parents are dead and we have no children so only have the memories but Dave and I can snuggle down and do our own thing and friends make this time special so it's not so bad, just a little empty.

Hello and a welcome from Orkney

Hello and welcome from Orkney

Don't know about the bait box idea but I guess you could try it. Rotting mice bodies doesn't sound good but being so small the smell might not be too strong.......still not nice though :pukeright: . As for the cat a swift kick up the furry little ar*e could do it - only joking, just have to wait I g...

Hello and welcome Sam .

I wouldn't bother with silicone or anything soft enough that they could eat. I scared to say we have been okay up to now this winter but then it hasn't got too cold yet. Good luck with it and I hope your cat pulls his paw out .

Give Google a try and yes, mice can climb brickwork easily. We have dry-lined walls and they get between the wall and the plasterboard......little sods!

It's prcatically impossible to find out where they are getting in as said before, it only takes a tiny hole but airbricks can be one place.

We tried the humane traps but they simply got in, got the food and got out again so we ended-up with the usual snap traps. It is a fact of life that you'll have mice moving in, nothing you can really do as the weather gets colder and they can get in through unbelievably tiny-weeny holes (as small as...

I know I should smarten up and clean the place but I need an injection of Christmas cheer...........been rather depressed of late so feel like it can all wait until the New Year when I really do hope I'll be feeling more up for it. Believe me, it took one hell of a push just to write the Christmas c...

That's a shame BB as you'd be very welcome. At least we don't have a housefull of guests this year so it could be worse, a nice quiet time for us hopefully. Good luck with it all.

Would you like a working Christmas holiday round at my house........loads more for you to do here..........no, I thought not (damn!).

Hi and welcome from Orkney . We had the high winds too but were lucky to not have any damage.......apart from my hubbies weather station that didn't stand up to the weather! Love it over your way, beautiful area.

Good luck with it all and take good care of yourself and hopefully it'll all be behind you
