Not sure cat would be interested in Mr Rat


Do you think it's resident or wandered in the back door? If it's the latter just try and steer with a broom


If it's the former you could try a rat trap on your own or get a pest controller out... or get a snake- they loves em

I'm bloomin' busting for the loo now - typical.


Either a cat has brought it in, or it's got through the cat flap, or it's come up from the cellar (one hole by radiator needs stuffing with wire wool) or (worst thought) it's come up through the loo.


I'm off to the DIY shop for killing things. If you see someone shuffling up L.Lane with legs crossed, that's me.

parenthood


Walk past child in corridoor as we come in from laugh a minute trek around sainsburys, carrying heavy bags (always carry more than is confortable in stupid attempt to get the whole thing done quicker). So arms hurting carrier bag straps cutting into flesh, of course we live in the upstairs flat so stairs still to go. did i mention howling rain and wind outside having had to park miles from house?, child dawdling in front of me, so step past child. Child remains in (shared) coridoor.


Shouts: 'You are in front of me. I'm not in the lead. I'm not in the lead I'm not in the lead' Descends into angry tears lies on floor screaming, until carried still screaming inside.


Later, attempting to leave house to pick up other child from school. Screams: 'Not wearing socks. no socks. no no no no'

Fetch tights from upstairs.. screams'Not those tights. sparkly tights' Hops up and down to emphasise point. fetch more tights. Urge at this stage to shout something really bad at child or use brute force really really strong. attempt to remain calm. Eventually leave after converation continues in this style for several minutes. Arrive at school 10 minutes late, other child crying on mat as is last to be called by teacher.manage to make out 'I thought you weren't coming' through sobs.


Friends at dinner later. one says:


'So you're not working at all just looking after the two of them?'


NOT F*CKING WORKING?

Dont f*cking patronise me with your easy life breeze of a rewarding career. Grown up people talk to you in a grown up way and actually listen to some of what you say. You use your computer for other things than CBeebies. and you get to visit the toilet without an entourage enquiring into what exactly you are doing and trying to sit on your lap whilst you do it. AND you get paid!

Mightyroar - kids are such joy! I am still always late getting my youngest off to school cos no matter how many times you tell her to get up, get washed, get dressed, eat, brush teeth etc, invariably she finds playing with her toys far moreinteresting! And I've given up on my 16 year old - supposed to be on study leave, ha, sleeping all day leave more like it!

Just to defend the interest of Mrs Brendan, Mrs Keef and Mrs Sean for a moment, because as far as I'm aware none of them are here to defend their own, I'm sure even on a day like yesterday mightyroar would say it was worth it.


mightyroar, great rant. As for you friend's dinner time comment, people (even good and normally sensitive friends) are insensitive, smug, judgemental arses when it comes to issues of child-bearing and raising. Ignore them all!

Do you know what would be sooooooo cool? A babysitter who would be prepared to do 6am-11am on weekends. Evenings? Pah! Easy peasy. But oh the bliss of hearing little Mooslet start his morning yowl at 6am as usual, and have someone else scoop him up and feed him and play with him while Mr Moos and I have a nice easy weekend lie-in, followed by a leisurely breakfast and perhaps even a scrabble through the papers!! Wow. Am smiling just dreaming about it.


Sorry, that wasn't a rant at all, was it? Can one be lounged from the Lounge?

    • Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!
    • How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.
    • I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
    • What's your answer, then? Should the council raise council tax to employ double or treble or more the number of workers to spend all their time clearing leaves from every street every day? Leaves have been cleared from my street several times since leaf fall began, including as I say very recently. It's impossible to keep every street permanently clear, and the situation is made worse by heavy rain. My partner broke his ankle in several places a year or so back when he slipped on wet leaves. He didn't blame the council.
