House was built in 1979 and the Toilet Tank Lid broke and I need to replace it. I am almost certain it is the original commode. Or, is there a universal Lid I can get? Thanks!

While walking through the woods I noticed what looked like a marble stuck to the under side of most of the leafs on the trees.
They look like seed pods but they had been definately stuck there. They are red and orange in colour. What are they and what put them there?

The first plant grew in my flowerbed this spring. It is a creeper of some sort and it took over my porch railing. The frost has killed it before the flowers were able to seed out.

The second plant is one I found growing against the side of my porch. It looked like some type of grass, but it had a stalk that grew up and flowered in a ball on the top. To see the pictures look at http://photos.yahoo.com/sunset_at_surf

I am buying a propery in Woking, Surrey. The street on which we intend to buy is part-Council and part-private. What are the pitfalls of such a location. Do council houses have a time limit before they become private?

I need help! I have a mouse in my pool who is stuck in there (he can't climb up the wall) and I don't want to "rescue" him and then have him take refuge somewhere on my house/property (I'm sure if there is ONE there is his whole family residing somewhere nearby). I have a pool enclosure, and only a short net so have the heebie jeebies and too afraid to "net" him, open the pool enclosure door, and get him onto my lawn for fear he will take refuge in or near my house, back yard, and don't want him near me. I can't afford a pest control company to come and remove him. What do you suggest? I live alone w/my 4 yr. old daughter, so this is purely a mom's one person job and as you can tell, too afraid to "net" him (he'll crawl up the net pole onto my arm!) and too afraid to "kill" him (ew, blood!). The mouse just keeps swimming around and is hanging on the automatic pool vacuum hose for dear life. Do I watch him die a slow death? Stuart Little makes me think he's too cute to die.
