Re: What have you just bought?

A new book on Theistic Evolution. The price on this seems to fluctuate rapidly. At time of writing it's £39 but I bought it a couple of days ago at £33 - used Blackwell's because it accepts book tokens and was cheaper than Amazon.

Mouse Traps

After a few day's of hubby allowing me to try and catch the mice my way which was a humane mouse trap, I have admitted defeat and bought two mouse traps.

I must say that hubby was right as the humane mouse trap has not been effective at all, in fact the mouse must be really fat now.

I still feel really bad about buying these I just hope hubby is right and it is a instant kill (if it is not please don't tell me) why did it need to pick my house poor wee thing just wants some heat and food.

I have warned both hubby and my eldest son not to tell his little brother that we have resolved to this method. My plan was that I would catch the mouse/mice and we would set it free at the Golf Course which is at the back of my house and in an ideal world that would have been the case.

The thought of having mice in my house is making me feel rather sick tbh.

It took me weeks to get rid of my mouse problem, i think we had like 10 of the things! but obviously you really don't know how many you have until they stop coming! Good luck!

Basically had them in the bin in the Kitchen and in the loft, so put traps in both of those places.

Yesterday I got all these records

1) Nat king cole - Unforgettable (MONO)
2) Lawrence Welk - 1963s early hits (MONO)
3) 1950s rock and roll collection (4 record set)

What I love about this collection is THEY HAVE THE SONGS IN FULL MONO IN BOTH CHANNELS!! (The music sounds excellent (Most 50s songs are MONO anyway))

I also have this collection on 8 track (3 cartridges) and I can tell already the records are MUCH BETTER! (Longer songs,etc (Some songs are cut off early on the tapes (What I have heard so far on the records is awesome!)))

1" x 3" strips (approx) skin side down in a dry tray in a 200c oven for 45 minutes. Then lift out, drain the excess fat, and return them to the oven for about 20 minutes (or until all the skin "pops").

Then cool for a while before wrapping in a clean tea-towel and rubbed to remove most of the excess oil.

So easy.
