    Me too! My desk drawer is full of coffee sachets liberated from my frequent hotel stays! (I go away a lot for one-night stays).

    I'm staying in one tonight, as I'm going out with two of my silliest friends and it's worth it to be safe afterwards. Can't wait, I will be sore from laughter tomorrow. And a lovely big Full Irish in the morning. :)

    Gots mah NCT Cheque in the post this morning and have just discovered I got paid today instead of tomorrow! Nice surprise! :)

    Actually, I think I'm gonna send the NCT peeps a nice polite appreciative email for the way they handled things. After like 3 Emails and a couple of un-answered Phone-calls no word whatsoever back from them, - I was a wee bit outraged to say the least. Eventually I managed to talk with a human on the Phone who said they would refund me. But then got another Phone-call from their Customer Care or Service Delivery people or whoever, she was probably getting back to my emails! But anyways I had to tell her the whole saga all over again and the more I talked the madder and madder I got and I may have given her a bit of a going-over! But she was totally cool calm and collected! Customer Service Staff do have to put up with a lot of crap too don't they! She did say you do realize we were closed ourselves and are only getting to the Backlog of business from them days that needs sorting right now! And I kind-of hadn't anticipated/realized/figured that they would actually be closed themselves too!! Partly my anger was because things were so up in the air, didn't know what to do about re-scheduling and an informative Notice on their Website that they would deffo be closed due to the snow from x day to x day would have been helpful! And I work in an Office myself I definitely know all there is to know about backlogs!! But anyway yeah it's all sorted now. But it is nice when a Company handles things well and reasonably promptly. :)

    I've spent my time playing the Switch online with my friends, and I've still like a week and a half to do so before I go back to school.

    A mouse came in the back door this morning. He then hid in a little gap between the dishwasher and the press, he wasn't even properly concealed but he was sitting perfectly still, probably hoping I wouldn't notice him.
    I tried to scoot him back out the door but no joy.
    I had to head off to work and I have 3 dogs so I figured the mouse would be dead by the time I got home.
    I have a camera in the kitchen to keep an eye on the dogs during the day (as one of them is quite old and possibly on the way out) and at around 10, I saw the mouse dash across the kitchen and in under the hotpress (there's a little gap where the heating pipes go into the press). He just barely escaped the dogs.
    So anyway, I knew he was in there so when I got home I set a few traps.
    Just when my husband arrived home, we heard a trap snap so we waited about 10 minutes, we could hear a bit of shuffling and then silence so we thought he had died. About a minute later he started crying (the sound would actually break your heart) so we figured he was caught but not dead. My husband looked in and sure enough he had a leg caught in a trap.
    So my husband managed to extract him from under the hotpress and released him out into the grass and we got to see him jumping through the grass to safety. It made me so happy.

    Oh WOW!

    I once had one sitting atop my printer, watching me type. There were 11 cats in the house where I was then..

    I tried to make it leave; clapped my hands, shouted at it, but no way. So I picked it up. by the tail lest it bit me, and put it out in the garden

    Great.. but it then told all its family I was a soft touch as there was then a total plague of mice... Even in the frying pan in the oven. Lost count of the casualties and my nerves were shot. Mice everywhere I went..

    The cats were useless! Not like my current ones.. :rolleyes:

    No word of a lie even reading about mice in the House has me in a cold sweat, I’d lose my mind, terrified. I’d rather a carpet of spiders than one mouse.

    My TH is I had coco pops for dinner

    Well I'm not the biggest fan of rats but mice are just so bloody cute and small. Now, I also wouldn't fancy a whole family living in my house but I also don't want to murder them. Rats on the other hand...

    My TH is 4 days off work, literally so delighted. Sitting drinking coffee, listening to the birds and thinking of all the free time. We're going to Kilkenny today for a bit of shopping. And then on Sunday I get to have my easter egg. I have really cut out chocolate over the past few years because it really affects my eczema so it is a rare treat and I am excited!

    Got up at 7am and headed to my favourite cafe in west London to catch up on some work emails.

    It suddenly dawned on me that I love my job. I actually love it. It's stressful and frustrating and all-consuming in that I never really switch off and have to travel an insane amount, but it's so rewarding, I get so much respect and authority and my little team in London is fricking awesome. I'm so lucky :)

    I'd be more freaked out by 11 cats in a house. :eek:

    TH after being to town for the weekly shop and everywhere is bright and colourful for Easter. And the smell of hot cross buns fresh from the oven as you pass by go in to the bakery. :pac:
