To not want to hunt for this mouse in case it rips my throat out?

I know it's in here. I can hear it. But I am a great big scaredy wuss and can't bring myself to start pushing boxes about in an attempt to flush it out and clobber it.
In case it, you know, attacks...

Yeah. Coz a teeny tiny ickle mouse is a Real Threat to you.
You are a complete namby-pamby scaredy-pants wimp who gone down in my estimation greatly.

'Tis more of a threat to your wiring, TBH.

OldLadyKnowsNothing · 23/11/2010 23:42

I promise it won't rip your throat out.

But it might make a mess of your ankles.Grin

Nah, it's more scared of you etc; get a trap.

Umm... SGB... am I being unreasonable to think it's hilarious that you, who would gladly rip out another poster's throat here on MN, are frightened of a tiny little mouse? :o

Honeydragon · 23/11/2010 23:49

Shut the door and ignore it?

By a trap in the morning?

Blimey Solid, this is the first time I;ve seen any sign of weakness self-worry from you! :o

I'd happily come and rescue you if I could, just don't ask me to do so if it dies.

Alive I can do, no problem, dead, and I'm a shivering wreck!

Honeydragon · 23/11/2010 23:57

It will not hurt you I promise, if it does in fact go for your throat you can batter me upon the head with the vermin killing implement of your choice till you feel better.

onceamai · 23/11/2010 23:59

Poor wee thing - tis cold outside. You know they love chocolate don't you Grin

QueenOfTheNight · 24/11/2010 00:01

It's a teeny, weeny little mouse you big wuss. Maybe 2 inches long tops.

What on earth do you think it is going to do to you? Jump on you and bite through your jugular???? It's far more scared of you than you are of it.

But they're cute! they have fur, and little bitty hands to pick up crumbs with, that they then nibble with their wiffly little noses!

colditz · 24/11/2010 00:02

Are you scared of squirrels?

Vallhala · 24/11/2010 00:04

You never know, he might be housetrained!

onceamai · 24/11/2010 00:04

If it is, call Rentokill tomorrow. They do a great job and they de ....ed us of one of those. Think you would know though Wink

Honeydragon · 24/11/2010 00:05

If it was a r** it would have come up, given you the nod, pissed on your shoes and wondered off again by now - I think your safe

Honeydragon · 24/11/2010 00:08

erm apparently it would not have pissed upon your shoes it would have used the lav Grin

Deep breaths and calm down!

Even in the extremely unlikely event that it it is an 'R' it won't hurt you. Just leave it be and it will scuttle away.

And colditz is right, mousies are cute, furry and have pretty little hands and fingers and pink noses. I could no more deploy mouse traps than smother my cats. I am as soft as shite.
