SNAP OUT OF IT ...

That is what I need to do, snap out of it ! I was in a funk yesterday, probably cos the scales went up instead of down like I expected... fuck I hate it when the scales can influence my whole day... so Today I am not going near them at all....

I am going to have a GOOD DAY so there ya shitty little electronic thing.

Today: kids to school, go walking with Janet and Izzy, then retail thereapy is called for! Might just go and buy something... anything will do ..... to cheer me up.

Well that was fun! It wasn't raining when we started our walk, but half way through it was... so I'm home, I'm wet and I'm happy! I love walking in the rain, such a dork!

NSV = NON SCALE VICTORY, and I had to ask someone what it meant too, so you are not a twit for asking! Right, time to get tidied up and go into town.... yaaaaa.



I got a comment from Anne this morning, saying she'd seen a girl yesterday who we used to see every saturday at our normal coffee shop, and this girl had asked after us, so I decided to go visit her at the coffee shop where she worked at lunchtime... and being the sort of person I am, I arranged for Anne and Chris D to meet me there (if they could) and they did! Stew came too... so we had another lovely catch up, and saw Shelly, who is due to give birth to her 3rd baby next week. The wee tart hardly looks pregnant from the back, and her baby is right out the front in this neat wee package... she's "one of those" who will not look like she's even had a baby in three weeks.... lucky tart. Anyway, here's a photo of Chris D, Me and Anne .... and loooooook, I'm smiling!

I'm home now, MANNING MY TRAPS.... did I tell ya we have MICE????? We bought 8 traps yesterday.... no dead 'uns yet, but you will know when we do get one cos...... I will post a photo!!!! *BIG BIG LAUGHS*

"While Mummy was away, the mouse did play" only he did not like my game! Nah na na na.... one down...


Now that's a NSV if EVER I saw one!!!! BLOODY HELL !!! I just spent the last hour scrubbing and cleaning out the cupboards under the sink in the kitchen.... cos there was 'evidence' of mice there too... and I had just finished, put everything back, and bugger me if I didn't catch another little bugger!!! This will be the last photo of dead mice I promise!!!

You can see how they are coming in eh? Up the water pipes.... eeeewwwwww. I have also put down poison, so we should be mouse free eventually!

Now, dinner .....ha ha ha.

Dinner - done

Grocery shopping - done

No # 3 mouse dead - done

NSV Today: Stayed on track, killed me some mice, did the dreaded grocery shopping.

Am a happy girl, nite nite.

  2. I let the scale dictate my mood too, that's why I try and not weigh in more than once a week.

  9. I had mice in the yard of my house once, and I used these green blocks that are tasty poison and got 18 dead mice in about a week.

    Unfortunately a couple of months later there were more, so I had to keep putting out the rat bait for a while until they avoided the area and probably went over to someone else's home. Not sure what the poison is called, but it is sold in packs of 12 one inch long dark green blocks and it is awesome stuff.

  10. It's hard not lettin the scales dictate your mood. I find it hard to just weigh myself once a week because it makes me depressed sometimes.

    Oh and thanks for explaining what NSV stood for :)

  14. Aw-poor mouse. He looks so pathetic looking into the camera with his dead little eyes. Too bad there isn't a nice way of shooing mice outside. *sigh* good luck killing the rest of them.

    Great pic by the way.

  17. Chri, put some Steelo (you know the steel pads sometimes used for washing up - not the ones with soap on them) around your pipes. the mice can't chew through the steelo and they hate the feel of it and they don't get through. Just pull it apart a bit and fit it around your pipes. believe me, I have lived in lots of farm houses over the years that I needed to mouseproof. ;-)

  21. Are those photos for real?! Jesus give me some warning next time! :-)

    Don't come down on yourself too hard just yet, it wasn't that long ago you had your op.

  22. Awwwe those poor mice but I know what you mean about mice because with us living with the cemetery on the back of our house we get mice so we put down little boxes with small green flat circle things of poison in the boxes.

    The boxes have to be put in the airing cupboard, under the sink and in the cupboard dowsntairs where it gets warm, where the pipes are that lead into the airing cupboard upstairs and they are just left there permanently obviously checked periodically to make sure there is still poison in the boxes.

    The mice just nibble the poison and then go away and die which they apparently just gently fall asleep, so the posion is so much more humane.....I know, I'm just soft....heehee....awwwe poor mice

    Have to say, we don't have any problems with mice any longer....not since we put those boxes down.

    Have a good evening

    Hugs to you

  23. i always feel so silly posting after your day is over! lol everything is done and you are on to your next day already!!! But i hear you about the mice--yuck! we get them here in the fall as things are starting to cool off (like now) and the combines start running!
    Glad to hear you also got away for the day to visit withthe gals and perk up your day! That will teach the scale to try to dictate your day! WHOOHOO!

  26. We all suffer from the same symptons of scale rage. You had me cringing with the photos of the mice. They are a royal pain in the arse. Hope you rid yourself of them soon.

    Glad to see you're getting out and having fun.

  27. Eeeks. Dead mouse. Ick.
    Don't think I would have gotten that close to the little bugger. :)

  28. Oh You big bully.... poor widdle ol mousy......

  29. They are awful pictures Chris! I had to race all 6 dogs of mine to the Vet's once as they all got poisoned by rat baits, and it was bloody awful. Luckily, they all got there in time to have their lives saved, but the baits are vicious. They attack the vitamin K in the blood to stop the blood from clotting. They bleed to death internally. Horrific. Traps are definately the way to go.
