I have mice. Last night I waoke to a disgusting scratching and eating sound coming from under my bed.
I went an goit my torch and shined it and then i saw them, there were 5 of them under my bed and they
were eating my socks and pants, there was a big pile of the remnanats and elastics from lots they'd already got thru.
I feel disgusted having mice, for 1 I don't have any pants or socks to wear now, I'm sitting here typing wearing just my denim skirt
it is very cold. But I have built lots of things to extinguish them, I shot a couple with my
Webley air pistol, I have hung the dead ones at each end of the bed on strings to deter and warn off the others from coming near to me. I have made
some decoy mice which are plugged into the mains and will electricute them, and I have made a whole in
the floor where i have inserted a plastic dish to allow me to catch them when they walk over it to get to the mirror on the other side. They think they are seeing a friend
but in fact it is themselves in the mirror, as they walk to see them they fall into the pit which I have filled with sulphuric acid, by the mourning there is nothing left. I am now trying to catch them by hand as I think it may be more human. Wish me luc!

I had a terrible night last night, I was kept awake for nearly the whole lot, by my mongrel Neil.
He's started howling non stop every night. Now he's begun to howl in tune! I think maybe it's because
I changed his food to some cheaper stuff with dead fish in it and it's makin him hypa?
Or maybe it's because all this week I've been reminissing and playing
'Calling Elvis'
by Dire Straits. I been playin it non stop an I think it done somethin to Neil cos he keeps howling it all night.
I also got the guitar tab for it an I learnin to play it on guitar. Anyway I think Neil has begun to think that he's Mark Knopfler
I even got him a little dog guitar that I strapped to his collar, I hope he will stop, when I awoke this morn I found him glued to the TV watchin a brothers in arms video
and wearing his headband. Please help me I just wan my dog to be normal again. I defnitly gonna change his food.

I was blind now I can see, there's a picture over me, I was blind but now I can see,
I'm moving on up now, to the top now, my life shines on, my life shines on,
my life shines on.

These words mean alot to me, you could say that words mean alot at the time
and don't mean nothing later. I rememebr singing this song when I was packing my bags to move out from my ex-husband's house.
I'd just spent a few hours filling all the electrical appliancies in the house with water, cutting the crotch out of all his trousers,
moving all the furniture out into the garden and attaching a sign saying 'Take me I'm Free', and filling his fish pond with creasote.
I swapped the Smash for Weedkiller put signs in local phone boxes offering his man to man services and phoned the police tipping them off that he was the serial killer who had killed 9 women, to finish off I dumped a box of knives covered with pig's blood in the lounge, and stuck all the newspaer headlines to the wall with the pictures of the women and more random pictures to pretend that they were the new ones he was stalking.
Then I phoned the police and hid in the park opposite to see what happened. It was great.

They came and put him in a car, they took bags and bags of evidence away, I went to see him and he was crying I told them I didn't know him
and went back to the house and set fire to it. He still hasn't recovered, and there's nothing left of the house, I think it's importanty that he learns a lesson: Next Time Sirus, don't say that my art work is just bad art therapy, then maybe I wouldn't have to hurt you.

It's getting really cold outside at the moment, I have no heating in my flat because I've been told that it's better for you,
but I find it difficult. Yesterday I decided to make my own electric blanket, I downloaded the file from the net and they said you could
make one for less than a pound which is great. It's not very hard and I'm real warm now! I advise everyone 2 make one..I made mione out of an old Barbour
jacket, I re-waxed it so it's waterproof, I can even take it swimmin with me as I have a mobile car battery to power it! All you need is am electric
element froma fire to power it, it is so warm!
