We tolerated it for a while. Then it ate a white chocolate Easter bunny that had been left out and raised our ire. The day after I was walking to Deptford High St and bought some glue traps from one of the street vendors. I put one down and it caught the mouse in about 10 minutes. I hadn't really thought things through. I got some gloves on and tried to get the mouse off the glue so I could release him but obviously that's not how those things work. I couldn't bring myself to administer a coup de grace so went outside and dropped him in a deep puddle and drowned him. I felt bad for weeks afterwards. Still feel bad, actually.
We still have mice. Caught another one in a nipper-style trap: very quick and clean death so didn't feel bad about that. Our cleaner caught another one by throwing a tea-towel over it. She took it out to the park and let it go. I've bought various types of humane traps but they don't work at all.

You fucking monster.

I hope you won't use a glue trap again, they're really horrible.
Trapping mice generally makes zero sense, a bit like shooting foxes makes no sense. You want to stop them getting in by closing up the holes (as has been said a number of times in this thread). If you kill the current incumbents, you'll usually get the next lot moving in a couple of days later.
