I was sitting in the living room and the dog and I heard a noise. It sounded like glass bottles moving. The dog barked.
I woke up DH who was not impressed and told me it came from outside.
I went to check on the drinks cupboard because I had visions of rats running around my bottles of gin, but nothing looked out of the ordinary.
Then I remembered that I keep noticing the bottles of champagne we have on top of the fridge keep rearranging themselves.
I had thought maybe DH (who is taller than me obviously) is storing something up there which is why the bottles keep moving.
I climbed up, no rat or mouse droppings, but bottles definitely been knocked about and one was pushed over leaning against the wall.
Could a rat do that? I really really hope it was next door's cat (that I have never ever seen in my kitchen but did suddenly leave us two dead mice on our doorstep yesterday).
Obviously I ran up to bed scared and am now hiding under the covers.
