A Whatttt???

Hello Everyone,

I hope you`re all having a really nice Tuesday.  It`s been absolutely freezing here with thick freezing fog. We have no heating at work so I`m wearing many layers of clothes that make look two stone heavier than I am...not that it makes much difference because my poor feet have been frozen to the spot and it took ages to thaw them out again. As for my hands they weren`t too bad as I`ve been wearing fingerless gloves and that made a real difference.  I couldn`t have my little halogen heater on either as there was a problem with my till so I had to use another where there were no extra plug sockets...sigh.  Tomorrow I hope I`m back on my usual till where I can at least keep my feet and legs warm.

 

                      

This morning the funniest thing happened, not that I found it funny at the time.  It was 7am and I was just about to have a shower when I saw something run across the upstairs landing.  I looked again and saw it was a mouse.....A MOUSE!!!!  I screamed blue murder, something I`ve never done before though how many of you expect to find a mouse that has just run upstairs?  My yells woke Jim and alerted Dan who was downstairs preparing his lunch for work .  Anyway, the daring duo set about cathching said mouse who had retreated to the safety of the computer room.  All I could hear from the bathroom was furniture being shifted and loud whispers of men who were making plans...lol!  As I left the bathroom I met with a triumphant looking husband and son, they had caught the mouse and released it into the wild.  This is what happened.

1) Room was cleared of all furniture, laundry baskets, Christmas presents and just about everything that was on the floor.

2) Mouse was located under the freezer by Dan armed with a torch.

3) LP records were put around the freezer to form a barracade so mouse had no escape route.

4) Gap under door was blocked off just in case mouse was cleverer than them.

5) Jim lifted freezer while Dan, armed with lightening reflexes and an empty shoebox captured mouse.

6) Jim slides another record under the showbox and mouse is secured.

7) My heroes deliver mouse to the safety of the green opposite the house.

So there you have it, alls well that ends well.  Mouse lives to fight another day.  Computer room is the tidiest it`s been for ages. I don`t have to worry that it will chew through the wires of the freezer and desatroying my Christmas food....OR and this would be serious, chew through the wires of my beloved computer...lol!

              

Well that`s it for this evening my friends.  I won`t be posting tomorrow as I`ll be going to Windsor with Kerry and Roman after work for a final look around the shops. Also It`s just nice to go out and have a coffee and a chat.  I hope you all have a nice evening, take care and wrap up warm. :o)
