Displaced by a mouse

Unplanned overnight visit to my parents after dad rescued me from the mouse tonight. I saw it last night & twice this morning and was fine during the day. But at dinner I could hear it under the kitchen units moving about a lot & eating so I was feeling a bit uneasy about spending the night in my flat. In the hour between dinner & my dad coming there were fresh dropping in the utility room so I'm glad to be away from it. Going back early tomorrow though as I don't want to leave it undisturbed. Bit paranoid about cleaning at the moment too so want to keep on top of any mess it creates. Seems to like shredding the insulation jacket for my boiler so not only do I have droppings to take care of, there's tiny pieces of red plastic as well. Document September pages held up a bit because of that & being out yesterday but hopefully get them finished off tomorrow.

Had a successful shopping trip yesterday. Got my parents Anniversay gift & the second part of my Mum's Birthday gift, along with two cute gift bags. I made the cards last week so completely ready for the celebrations this weekend & next. Found some bargains for myself too which I'm really pleased with. The recipe file from John Lewis has 27 page protectors & 12 dividers plus some paper. They were £13.50 down to £6.50 but I had vouchers so got two for £1. Plan to decorate the covers & use them as mini albums. The Good & Well binders were from Paperchase & an even bigger bargain - £7.75 down to 25p so I got four for £1! Plan to use them as mini books too.
