Re: get a mouse from under the kitchen units?

Re- mice (see, I can stay on topic, mods :lol: ) the humane traps worked well for us, we baited ours with chocolate spread. Just release the poor creature quickly.

Re: get a mouse from under the kitchen units?

I can second the chocolate advice! We used humane traps once with pengin bars in and they loved them :mrgreen:

No mice for us at the minute but found an empty birds nest in the loft yesterday so we've obviously had visitors over the winter!

Re: A personal question...

I read anyone and everyone! I've recently finished a Jane Austen novel and followed that up by Martina Cole! I probably read a couple of hours a night and other than following Corrie and Eastenders don't really watch TV.

Enjoy your books! Your friends don't know what they're missing out on!

Re: I think I'm killing my patio rose!!

Okay then! I will give it over the summer to come back to life and chat to it daily making sure the neighbours don't hear me!

I do fear I give all plants the kiss of death though :?

Re: I think I'm killing my patio rose!!

I talk to the dogs, why would talking to the plants be any different?! :mrgreen:

I feared it was dead. It is getting more and more stick like by the day but haven't got the heart to throw it out just yet!

I think I'm killing my patio rose!!

Please help! 3 months ago I had a really beautiful rose. Now, after forgetting to water it for a bit and then having the dogs knock it over all I have left are a few sticks :( I'm being really good about watering it now as the care guide says to keep it moist and it's been having a feed of some rose...
