We have slugs slithering under the door at night leaving silvery trails on the mat, earwigs in the kitchen and woodlice having a nosey around too.

And the external doors are sticking.

It's not like we live in a tip or anything - all this happening on the normally bone dry, sunny south facing side of the house

Any interesting creatures sharing your abode at present?

We have a herd of Water Buffalo in the back garden.

I've just moved house and now park on a drive instead of the street. I've noticed one or two snails have decided to hitch a lift and have moved in to the grill of my car.

Apart from a wasp infestation, nothing out of the ordinary here at 'Area 51 and a half'
I thought I saw a giraffe in the lounge the other day but it turned out just to be damp patches going up the chimney breast above the four legged occasional table.

When my mother in law comes round the mice throw themselves on the traps.

Had one jumped the garden wall from the back field.
Didn't have to get the lawnmower out that week.
