SB, we don't have any animals or animal food at the moment and I checked the fruit and no sighs there either. Trouble is our house is packed with stuff and I don't think there is any chance of going through it all. However I am pretty sure there is only one mouse and as all the food is on one room I think he might move into there at some point.
Reminded me of another mouse story from our earlier visitors, we were watching TV on night and had not cleared the table from dinner, we had opened a pot of yogurt but hadn't eaten in all, suddenly we heard a quiet slurping sound and lookup up to see a mouse balanced on the edge of the yogurt happily eating it, the mouse did not seem to be at all worried about us and the TV !

True - they are real survivors Spacie and completely adaptable
you'll get to the bottom of it sooner or later!
Good Luck!! :>)

Interesting that bunny identified her mouse as a 'he'. Spacey, have you checked the girlfriend's make-up bag and her lotions and potions shelves? Is anything missing? At least then you might be able to 'profile' your intruder as to sexual orientation. This would allow you to focus your hunt more intelligently, ie if it's a girl mouse it won't be living in a tool-box but in a box of chocolates. Ask yourself, why did the mouse chose me and not the girlfriend?

P, well I haven't done that but we are pretty sure that it was inside her hat in a back we brought down from Sevenoaks.
Following your idea I think I will assume its a girl mouse and move the ironing board into the kitchen, if that fails I will try the garage and my collection of half empty paint tins and car parts for cars we don't have any more ;-)

Is this the mouse helpline? :-))
Have you checked the toaster - I was living in Brussels many years ago in a
rented flat. Put in the slice of toast and two seconds later, out flew
a half cooked mouse!!!!!!!!!! Tom and Jerry moment.
The mouse I have at the moment leaves 3/4 little droppings every night!
I am sure he comes in the back of sink cupboard at night and goes
out during day!

I can see why you might be more comfortable with the idea this is a 'girly' mouse, just looking for a strong man to snuggle up to at night. It's quite sweet really. And two 'females' wanting to share your bed at once! Some men pay a lot of money for that.
But if it's a hairy-arsed, unwashed rodent who's just climbed into bed with you after a night on a lager and kebab night out with his mates who suddenly found you attractive......
I think you may have my ex-husband somewhere in your house!

HI Priscilla and JJ!!!
Oh JJ - a mouse IN the toaster! Now that would have even startled
me and I'm used to finding the odd unwanted house guest of the
tiny and furry variety!
OK gals - anyone for a glass of wine :>)
Oh YUCK Spacie!

Sounds a good idea, Spaceman ......... have you been
baking P? Can't Lambykins do something about your
pal?
I see the cafe is closing on the 31st :-(
What is the new cafe to be called - "In Orbit" because you and Lambykins
are normally spaced out :-))

No baking this afternoon, so I have a large tub of 'Dusty Road' ice cream. Chocolate ice cream with toffee sauce, bits of meringue and small bites of macaroons to dip in the ice cream or toffee sauce....which is warm, of course! A tub large enough to lose lamby in, so be careful there, Spacey! Enjoy.

Is Dusty Road a refined version of Rocky Road, P?

JJ, I still like "Lambykins Dutch Coffee house - Adults only" I know GD doesn't like the Adults Only bit but I have a plan for that !
Anyway as I am only going to be a small part of the new place I would love to hear what you all want. I don't want to change things as this place seems pretty good as it is, I am only getting involved as GD is retiring ;-) it will be your place not mine.
Here are a few of my thoughts, but I expect a few 'Concorde Method' influences to find their way in :-
Free Drinks at all times
No drugs other that soft drugs
No rules.
No abuse.
Wide Screen TV
Hopefully Stock bunny will continue to provide us with her excellent daily choice of food and Priscilla will be able to provide cakes etc from time to time as well as all the other things the regulars here do.

Sounds OK to me - can't see a problem with the adults bit
it might get a few more pop in, if only for curiosity sake
BUT I refuse to let our fluffy pink cushions go or our purple
faux fur throws for when the guys aren't here and we want to make the
chesterfields look a little more comfy

Have a good week-end, Bunny and hang on to those
style items of fluffy cushions and faux fur throws!!!!!!!!

Well when I suggested no rules I actually meant a few rules, specifically :-
No Mice
Bunnies and Lambs welcome at all times
No food items which include Lamb or Rabbit allowed on the premises
No Mice
Mice not allowed
No Mice
Thats it, I think .....
And of course all the soft furnishings are being brought over from the tea rooms ;-)

I really don't think you should refer to the ladies as "soft furnishings".
