Oh What a Night!
Posted: Thursday, 10 May 2007 |
I had to give up my prep for an interview tomorrow ( I'm being evicted from my house and can't afford anywhere on the island so I'm having to pack up and move to the mainland) as I can't get the printer to recognise my laptop and Andrew couldn't come to fix it because he was going to a meeting about the housing situation. I've e-mailed everything to my hotmail account so I'll go to the library and print it all out in the morning. Also I've just found out I've only got powerpoint viewer so I can't edit my powerpoint presentation so will have to do that at the library too. It's a bit last minute but can't be helped.
I got home and noticed the mail had been chewed, so I've got a rat! I hate rats and am rather frightened of them. Especially after the last one got stuck under the boiler. So I phoned Hazel, being a Country Ranger she should come round and deal with deadly rat! Well she had the NTS rangers and gardeners round for dinner so she asked them what I should do and they all laughed! When I said it wasn't funny they laughed harder!!! Outraged I stropped round there, mainly as I was too scared to stay in the house, just in time for curry and sticky toffee pudding and the only ice cream they had was Magnums!!! Hell! So that didn't deal with the problem but it put it off for a while, had a great laugh with everyone (they thoroughly enjoyed thinking up all the places the rat is going to jump out at me from and doled out no sympathy) and I got to meet Jos' new baby!
When I got home I was a bit freaked as still scared of the rat. I started putting rat poison down. As I lent down next to the bin something jumped, I screamed and the frog bounced across the kitchen. So I got a mug and a bit of card and ran round the kitchen after it until I finally caught the little sod and put him outside. I thought, I'll text Hazel and give her a laugh, went into my bag to get my phone and found that the container of colslaw Hazel had given me had leaked all over the inside of my bag. I had to wash all that out and then pull my phone apart and clean every bit I could get at. To no avail, the mayo was right through it, my mobile is still not working. I'll have to buy a new one when I'm on the mainland tomorrow. Hope that goes better than tonight! Wish me luck?
