Ack, if it's not one thing it's another right?

Last night the kids and I had a sleep-over in the lounge room, all through the night I could hear a mouse, I thought it was in the wall, we have holes in the wall out the back and they get into the cavity and go running. It was squeaking up a storm so I figured it must have found the ratsac we throw around.

Fast forward to half an hour ago, I was sitting between jobs and I spotted a movement near the curtains, next thing a big fat shadow is climbing up my curtains! EEWWWW, bad enough to be having mice full stop but climbing my curtains?! Gross! So, what do you do when a mouse climbs your curtains? Look around for projectiles that won't break the window of course!

First I used the tv remote and went too high, next came the ped-egg whose weight I over-estimated so it hit the floor so the last thing left was the cordless phone and I hit it spot on! I think he had been chomping on the ratsac at some stage because he slithered (As much as mice can slither) about halfway down the curtains and then dropped to the floor so I went and checked when I was feeling brave and he was still on the floor, when I moved the curtains he walked away rather reluctantly. Might have been waiting for a girlfriend, not sure.

So anyways, now I have a (Hopefully) wounded (Hopefully) ratsacked mouse wander the house slowly and reluctantly. Fingers crossed he dies somewhere easy to retrieve... it would be nice if he could schedule it for Tuesday evening so Steve can dispose of him when he gets home too, not too much to ask is it?! LOL

Ah, one of the many joys of living in the hills! LOL
