Ok the dinner, I just don't know. If you are really wanting your M back it is probably not a good idea. But it is up to you.
The mice, just use the kill traps, sorry Dawn. Mice can reproduce every 21 days. They will just keep making more and to move them would just move the problem. We are starting to get rats in our neighborhood because of a few houses in forclosure and my cats keep bringing them home. (I live in Florida where fruit rats run rampant if even one person has a citrus tree in their yard). Just kill them. An exterminator will just put the traps out too although they might use a lot more than you are so just keep doing it.
If you focus on the past, you ruin the future. You can only live for today.
