Another mouse in my house

or perhaps it was the same mouse - perhaps a super mouse that ate the poison we put out and didn't die?

This one emerged from under the sofa as I was settling in to watch some Saturday night telly. I didn't scream, but I did give a little yelp before leaping up and hot footing it to my room for the rest of the night. Not that I was able to sleep for fear of small brown rodents accosting me.

The new bait is laid, and if I see the little blighter again I'm kidnapping one of my aunts cats for protection.

Nemisis (again)

Nemisis has decided to give up drinking until her birthday. Mother earth is pleased, I am not.

Since she is not drinking she has stopped going out which means she is at home all the time. This is the first time in 6 days that i have been able to used the computer. She spends all evening chatting on her mobile while simultaniously chatting on MSN messenger. I could stand it if I didn't have to listen to her high pitched squeeling at whatever inanities her vapid friends have expressed. Bitch.

do tooth fairies take account of inflation?

I managed to get an emergency appointment with my dentist. She gave me an x-ray and a temporary filling and I have to go back next week to have a crown made.

I was relieved that I wouldn't have to have the tooth extracted and then almost had a heart attack when she told me how much it was going to cost. £194 - and that is the NHS price.

Mind you, I'll be able to knock 50p off that when the tooth fairy visits me tonight. Little cousin got £1 for his tooth last week (in my day it was 10p!) so I reckon I should get half that for my half a tooth.

not an insignificant amount of pain and discomfort

Half of my tooth has just fallen out.

Will my dentist ever answer the phone?

fraud

Dispite the meticulous care with which I guard my personal information, I have become a victim of credit card fraud.

Thankfuly the bank spotted it and notified me before too much damage was done.
About a hundered pounds was charged to my credit card by paypal - the bank have said they will refund the lot, cancel my card and order me a new one.

From now on I will be scrutinizing all my statements like Scrooge McDuck.

Its the little unexpected thingsthat make me happy

For health and safety reasons we've all been sent home from the office. A disruption to the mains supply has left our building without water and we all get half a day off. Brilliant !

So I'm headed off to the gym for a leisurely swim followed by a sauna and half an hour of people watching from the jacuzzi before heading home to a plate full of pancakes. I'm not sure this day could get any better.
