I bought one of those cage traps for them, and they would become very irate when caught.

Worthy of a baking competition entry in Trelawnyd.<br /><br />And have you got a life? I certainly don't, not only did I do my usual rush to the computer to see what's going on in your world, but I also counted how many Xs you gave each commenter in your last post.

We still have some of the things that came from much more expensive crackers on the back of the sideboard from last year…husband was yakking on about seeing Santa in the sky last night when we went to bed, but he never explained it was the space station. I think I was awake at 5.22 so could have seen it…maybe! Have loved your posts this last few months, and also enjoy the " animosity?" between you and Rachel, who I also read . Look forward to getting to know you better next year.

Your rat is a log smarter than my rats, but they do turn up in unusual places in my drawings. I did one on an envelope for your Christmas Card but I never posted it because I thought you might get mad at me. You reminded me that I forgot the Christmas Crackers, they are still in the cupboard. They probably wouldn't have been any good anyway, half-price from Waitrose and miniatures at that, I wasn't feeling very generous. I hope you have a good day and everybody likes you and if not you can always get the rubber gloves onto your feet... well you could xRachel Phillipshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053924416805878169noreply@blogger.com
