[Nicos]

Yey...well done you!!!

[lynda66]

i'm impressed ..... i'd put myself off them lol ...... glad they weren't as bad as feared

[di]

Thankyou Girls!!I did feel rather proud of myself!!(I've still never tried DR Pepper & several other soft drinks cos I'm tooo scared!!)So was pretty chuffed with myself tonight!
Daisy's already talking about her next "let's try something new"...........squirrel!!!

[lynda66]

at least squirrel is free if you go down the local park

[di]

But how long before I get reported by some angry mum with an inconsolable kiddie witnessing the loon with a rifle shooting the little cute critters!!(Do they come out in the dark??)

[lynda66]

nope, you can sneak into their houses at night ...... just grab them by the tail

[di]

Think I'd rather go armed!!The one's down here are vicious little bu@@ars!!Once when we'd run out of monkey nuts & dared to just walk off,one launched itself onto my back!!They bite as well!!

[lynda66]

awwww but he was still hungry ...... you need to take up origami ...... catch it with a ninja swipe, shove it in a bag, and smack it over the head with a brick

[di]

......what a shame Jim no longer fixes it!!I could get him to send Hugh round for the w/e!!He'd know what to do!!!
In the meantime....watch this thread!!!(or rather the one that will be titled "squirrel"!!)

[lynda66]

LOL ...... i can't wait to hear the reaction of the morrisons butcher when you go in and ask for an oven ready squirrel

Feed the local ones up so there is more meat on them first and then they will be all lethargic so easier to catch too! Well done you - dont think I could be so brave!

In some areas there are so many of the fluffy-tailed tree-rats that they are killing off trees. Talk to a local gamekeeper (if there are any) and find out whether they trap the things..... (those who tend the parks may be helpful, but sometimes they use poison for ornamental areas).

My children came home from school yesterday and told me that they'd had squid for lunch - I checked the menu and it wasn't a wind up!!
They loved it.

(It is a French school, though. They also have starters, bread, puddings and cheese every day too)

If you get any problems tracking down a squirrel, feel free to sit in our garden for about four seconds and you can catch as many as you like (grrr...)
