General Chat

Paula that is great
hope you find one though it is a worry with the children ,things are looking hopeful with ray already here

yet more rain.Radiators are on to dry the washing again.Whilst I like walking in the rain the odour of wet dog is a draw back lol
Passed the home visit Maz but the problem is finding a dog that is 100% bomb proof where kids are concerned.
There are a lot of dogs looking to be re-homed down south and some lovely ones in South Wales but not much up here at present.

Morning all~~~

Quite wet here too Maz,

No didn't see the coverage you mentioned, be no good me going there then, but my homepage is the BBC and they have 8 photos of the filthy squalid conditions of the Athletes village for the forthcoming Commonwealth games.
Disgusting ! One of the organizers had the nerve to say Westerners had higher expectations and that the quality was good !!!
Too blinking right we have higher expectations, I would let an animal into such a vile dangerous area.
So many athletes have already pulled out, if they go ahead it will be a shambles.

Morning all~~~
Can't get onto the ZA site , there are 2 threads up about ,peeps having the same probs.
I'll have to try 'adblock' to get rid of these flashing adverts otherwise I'll end up with a migraine.
I certainly won't spend so much time on the boards any more if I can't get rid of them !

morning all.My friend Norma and her sister came back from Bulgaria recently covered in bites which became inflamed and swollen. Marilyn had to visit hospital because hers were so bad and her leg swelled up so much.
Avons skin so soft oil spray is good for keeping the little blighters at bay although they don't do woodland fragrance any more so don't know if the other scents work as well.

morning all i am allegic to insect bites and they give me pins and needles if they are in the wrong spot also they give me flu like symptons too at times

Afternoon all~~
Hope everyone one's OK:)
Thanks Paula, the funny little pimple like lump has gone now, but the nodule and the pins and needles effect hasn't. at least lying asleep with my arm straight eases the pain.
Was it you that said the midges bite you when out in the garden?
They make straight for me, bite and I end up covered in itchy lumps. Same with mozzies abroad, I always get bitten whatever precautions I take and they usually become infected and I have to go to the pharmacy. They don't touch the rest of the family.. I must have sweet blood.lol
I had 2 bites last week one under my arm and the other on the back of my neck, they weren't midges as they are still there! tho not itching any more.
