I cannot get rid of the little beggars.
I have tried to catch them. I have tried to trap them. I have tried to poison them. They are still merrily flinging themselves around my room at silly o' clock. My landlord's wife went into labour yesterday so I don't want to bother him just yet and besides which I don't know quite what he'd do about it anyway.
I have tried chocolate, peanut butter and jelly beans to lure them into the humane traps but they are not having any of it. I have no idea what they've found to eat as I removed everything vaguely edible. I am going to don rubber gloves and move things around (probably having a mini coronary in the process) and then go out and buy a different brand of poison thereby raising the level of anti mouse devices in my room to five. They will undoubtedly still evade them all because they are mocking me and are possibly in some kind of super mouse cult intent on taking over the world.
Anybody who has any bright ideas please shout now :P
