Fished a mouse out of the bath this morning for my fellow lodger to have a shower, only to be told that our landlady (who is away this week) had put a mouse-trap in the food cupboard while I was away last week, after finding some of her food had been nibbled.
Rushing today to buy some containers to keep my non-tinned food in - stuff like pasta, dried nuts and fruit, rice, etc, which is currently in soft plastic packaging and oats, tea bags, etc, which is in cardboard boxes.
I'm wondering whether I should replace my food just in case, or just check the packets carefully for signs of nibbles before decanting them into more secure containers. What would you do?
Had a bit of a panic about it this morning because there are masses of a few poppy seeds from a recent loaf of bread in the cupboard and when I saw them I was jumping to conclusions about mice gambolling all over my food.
