Early to bed and early to rise makes us shredded, AVID and WISE

New thread!

Not that I've been on the old one much )

Eeek-eeek! Have just discovered all the tell-tale signs that suggest we have mice. Am telling self 'is better than rats, is better than rats', but really want to curl up and die. Why the bloody hell hasn't the cat caught them?

All the best people have mice Plum

Get some snappy traps and use peanut butter and then get a nice man out from the council.

I knew you'd understand TB!. Will get snappy traps tomorrow. And sleep with one eye open tonight. Stupid cat.

Actually, may go to night-Tesco in a bit. Can't bear idea of them mousing around while we're asleep.

I totally get the brain going pffft Tracey...have managed to get 3 to bed without any tears (phew) then struggled to get open a bottle of pinot...struggled I tell you! Sorry that you have to remain abstemious for a short while and hope you start feeling loads better soon poor thing.

As Tracey once kindly advised me Plum, all the best people have mice. And yes, not pleasant (if you are anything like me who cried-complete wuss though)...we got rid of them with 'humane' traps (which dh did not know I was popping a pellet into (to do the job properly) . DH was -oh the mice are dying... Sorry, I am horrid!

Oh and keep forgetting...Fritzi - lovely photo of you in dress! Gorgeous!

Vin - Tracey is right. And well done !

Pickled - I meant simple cabinets actually...sniff.

x post with tb - see!!!!

Warning - the size 0 mice don't actaully set the traps...so get the tin can things as well just in case .......fighting stiff!

Oh God..the pinot has kicked in...Plum...you know what I mean slurrrrrr

Tracey - I do like the downtown shoes you ordered. Think they'd be really useful. Like the mocha I think. What colour did you go for?

And, very importantly, what are y'all doing about handbags for spring? Always fancy a new bag for the spring/summer, me...

Not sure Dolce, what sort d'you fancy?

I need something that is not heavy, just to hold keys and that is it

I am all pfffted out too.

I dunno. I need inspiration. Maybe a colourful bag, but leather....hmmm....

I think I'm going to be as much help as a wet paper bag

Sloppily links to brightest thing I can find.

I wonder if I can avoid having a bag, small ones are always naff aren't they??

I quite fancy this little bag in yellow for Spring, is on my birthday list.

Is this MJ one awful?

This AH pouch is cute.

Err...yes Marsha, tis awful in my humble opinion!

Like the Mimi Ada Plum. I always end up with great big bags whatever the season for some reason.

Oh, how I wish my birthday was in March or something...not August when there's nothing left in the shops and you don't really want to think about autumn/winter...humph...

Am loving anything in yellow or orange at the moment.....

oh god it is isn't it

Plum, you won't fit your ipad in there .

Dolcee, we have quite simple kitchen cupboards. Next door neighbour used to work for Plain English so they are just like those without such a huge £££. What I love about them is that they go straight to the floor so nice clean lines. We also did that thing where you continue the worksuface down the side of a run of units. Oh, and an integrated sink of course, moulded from the worksurface IYKWIM. All in the name of keeping it simple you understand .

Enjoy the ladies, I'm off to open a bottle. See ya later.

I must admit I am trying to be el cheapo on the bag. I might just used my butcher's free canvas one. Light, ironic... er free.

Oh like the Anya one but am having a bit of an Anya moment.

Well done vin you amazing lady!

I chuckled at you slipping pellets into the humane traps dolce

DD getting over her chicken pox but DS very tired and has an upset tummy today so I?m fully expecting him to wake up spotty tomorrow. Better that than waiting another couple of weeks!

I have this blue bag and always use it in spring. It's a lovely bright but not in your face sort of blue. I also sometimes carry the East West version of this - well not at the same time, you know what I mean

I think they are more to carciofi's taste as a fellow Mulberry fan, not everyone's cup of tea.

marsha I love your mushroom boots - bet you get loads of wear out of them. Be careful though - my mum once slipped on a piece of brie and cut her head open. Oh how mortified she was every time someone asked her how she did it

Loads of posts while I was writing mine - that's what comes of stopping to change DS's nappy in the middle!

Sorry marsha I don't like the NJ one either but the AH and Ada ones are lovely.
