I'm in big trouble when OH gets home

You know when a day starts out one way & ends up another, well I'm yet again going to be in trouble when my poor long suffering other 1/2 gets home, I've strangely acquired 4 mice, they were going to be squished, so I thought over my dead body are they :shock:

I thought to myself I'll re-home those )t'

by the time I got home I'd accidentally bought a full on mouse house with tubes & tunnels & called them Ernie, Eric, Arthur & Amos, once named never parted with ....woops, good job I'm out tonight, now do I tell him before I go or let him find them on top of the rats cage

So if I disappear off the face of the earth, I'm probably under the patio if you want to leave some flowers )j;

Accidents do happen )pty

Oooh mice are wonderful little pets I had them for years, but only girls as the boys can pong a little. Then I got the parrots and didn't get any new mice.
I kept mine in an aquarium with little shelves and ladders up the them with wire on the top of the tank.. I got a great one very reasonable, because it leaked. That didn't worry me.

Melons I had to stifle my laugh in case anyone heard!!!! How funny are you - exactly what I'd do!!!

He'll probably shake his head and roll his eyes like my hubby does. When I bought Kizzy (I didn't tell him), and he just said - why am I not surprised!!!

If I were you - I'd leave them on top of the rat cage - see if he notices!!!!! (f+

They are very dinky, I've got another 4 girls in the bathroom for a friend of my sisters too )t'

I'll be in touble there too, she only asked for two, maybe I just can't count

They are just little white ones, so they all look the same, they've gone bonkers in the wheel, they've never had one before.

Poor OH will guess that I've been up to something, I'll be grinning to widely, oh well they're here now, & yes they do stink but then so do the two rats :shock:

Darran's just got home, the first thing he said was, you've done something, I asked how can he tell, he said he just can, so I'm still here to tell the tale, he hasn't even asked how many there are, they're all in bed )t'

Yes they are most definitely boys, the 4 girls are in the bathroom, well the ones I've got either all have tumours round their back ends, or it's something else entirely )c(

Funny thing there about the tumours, I took my hamster to the vet thinking my poor little guy would be snuffing it soo due to the growth. The vet examined him and said.......Yes, it's a male , thats what they look like when adult. :shock:

GOD was I embarrassed :oops:

He went on to live a full life (f+

. Hubby is a big mouse fan...loves em to bits, we have sooo many ornaments of mice now. We dont have real ones as the cat would be on the case. Good on you giving the little darlings a home (f+

while I was up in Nodnol this morning, I got off the train at piccadilly circus and some people were walking towards me when I saw what looked like some rubbish being blown around their feet, we all then realised it was a tiny little black mouse which scurried through their feet and into a crack of a doorway. Cute.
