So a week or so ago SWMBO was complaining there was mice in ceiling..apparently

the cat was going bananas as could hear them..so like good brow beaten husband I am..after two days of gentle

reminding
loss of brownie points
I got around to setting traps through man hole in roof....
gained back some brownie points
this morning,having heard nothing from said phantom mice,I decided to poke head up through man hole and have a looksee...sure enough poor Nigel couldnt resist the cheesel (well in this case peanut butter) and was deceased,so like good husband I am,I took said small furry carcase and disposed of it in the big white porcelain disposal facility..where all good goldfish end up

....packed up ladder etc and stood back

....now whilst I had been clearing said trap SWMBO had been in shower,seeing I had been up in roof as I was putting ladder away once again gained some brownie points
she then proceeded into little girls room and lifted lid and squealed like a schoolgirl rushed out still squealling,didnt drop towel unfortunately....I was nearly rolling on floor with laughter,did actually slump down wall,a good belly laugh indeed seeing wifey reduced to schoolgirl status
did I forget to mention I had not flushed said porcelain disposal facility????
major loss of brownie points but by jolly the smile /evil grin wont whipe off face
PS,the dogs kennels are well insulated
