I saw a Red Back in Kmart yesterday!
AS the title says - I was looking for a computer chair in Kmart yesterday - was about to lift one off the shelf to try it out and this frigging Red Back was on the shelf!! :scared: Couldnt believe it!! Of all the places to see my first Red Back. It was alive when we first saw it and we were about to let someone know about it but as we looked at it it started to die! 
I know hubby is a funny looking bugger but I didnt realise things had gotten that bad!! :scared:

LOL the first one I saw I didn't know whether to run in for the camera to get a picture or bash it with the dust pan I was using!
Guess what- I bashed it!

I was in there tonight and my 3 year old said 'Mummy, they sell mouses here...'
And indeed, under the washing powder shelf was a mouse. It was very cute.

Its that time of year again!! maybe I should just ask a snake to come and live in our roof for a while, then we'll see how the mice like it then!!
There are some snakes here - I could send you one if you like. It might appreciate a sun terrace and a constant supply of food. A bit like being on holiday really.
