squeek squeek

Arrrggghhh juts discovered I have a mouse in my house. This is the first one in 2 years. The cates used to bring them in all the time but since we moved we only have the cat flap opening outwards so they cant come in when they want so god only knows how the little blighter has got it............. I could hear it chew paper so got my two cats in but they were so dis-interested I was ashamed !!!!!!!!! Imagine having 2 cats and not one of them showing any interest at all .......... After trying to catch it I am sure it ran into my fireplace but have taken the front off and cant find it so dont know where it was. I had to bin all my scrapping mags that were down there as they were covered in mouse droppings and wee - eurgh and have disinfected everywhere. I found a little nest made out of paper as well so hopefully I caught it in time before it gave birth. It must be a brave mouse though as once my cats get hold of them they dont let go.

On a much brighter note, my boy is in his big bed and has slept amazingly well in it. He went in it on friday night after I had made it up ( and mark came in to check it was safe - yep think I can manage to put up a bed mark ) He went down at 8pm and slept until 8.30am on saturday and last night he went down at 7.15pm and slept until 8.00 am ( well apart from being awake for about 1hr during the night due to a bad dream ) so all in all he seems to really like it and he looks so comfy. Iwas really worried about him being cold as I stopped using his grobag as thought if he went walking he could hurt himself but he lies all snuggled under his covers all night long. He may just not have realised he can get out of his bed yet but hopefully he will stay in his bed all night.

We also went to see santa at teh Gyle on friday. Archie was so excited to go and see santa until he actually saw him then he started clinging on to my legs and telling me to go. I eventually managed to get him to sit near santa and tell him what he wanted and the conversation went like this

Me - Archie you need to tell santa what you would like for christmas or he wont know what to bring
Archie ( while cuddling into me and not looking at santa ) A Ninky nonk and an upsy daisy book, go mummy go hurry

Ah bless I am sure it will be so different next year.

We went to cameron toll yesterday and they have a santa and Archie asked if he could go and see him so may take him in a few weeks and get his photo taken with santa. I also got him the night before christmas book and he keeps asking when its christmas time. Think next year I wont mention it until a week before !!!!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
