Pest control man just came round on an 'urgent call' to catch a mouse that has been seen in our house. Nobody has been in all day but me and I definitely haven't seen a mouse ... even if I had I would probably catch it myself, having stupid cats teaches one to deal with one's own pests ( Read more... )

 I feel bad that I don't like my flatmates, as there's nothing really wrong with them. It's getting bad as there are two birthdays coming up, one which the owner doesn't want to celebrate and one which I just know will be celebrated as much as possible with no option of backing out.
