Details Ditty, I need details

Oh my - not a good day then 

 

*snigger*

 

 

 

*tries to resist cursing Rexi with a plague of killer labybirds*

*runs in to have a quick peak*  Hi all   *runs out*

Well, if it helps you on the sniggerometer I am still sporting some epic mosquito bites from Spain last week

 

They are pure evil creatures - I had to medicate myself with G&T to get over the itchy pain

well that's why it did it then!!

 

It mistook your skinless flesh for something nice & meaty to eat!!   At least it stopped once it realised its slight error in judgement!

 

OR.. perhaps it was trying to kiss your boo boo arm better!  

Peeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnnngles

 

Ok, I admit the ladybird bite wasn't as bad as that ^^^^

 

I reckon I probably need a vodka and orange to get over the shock that the little buggers actually bite though

 

It stopped when I whacked it one with my good arm.

That counts as one of your five-a-day ... go for it

I once saw a documentary on ladybirds ..      it reckoned that sometimes they grab an armhair & fly off still holding onto it..   ripping it out at the root & causing a sting like pain!

 

Never known it happen to anyone though! 

 

 

 

I'm really going off ladybirds.

You'll love them when you (if you) make a start on that garden of yours 

Ha Ha.....can just imagine myself looking like I'm playing tennis in the kitchen!

Blimey I didn't know ladybirds bite...yeah vodka meds sounds good

.....Back to the flies, someone at work suggested leaving a glass of red wine left out...anyone tried that?

Ooo, no I've never heard of that Super. What's the purpose. Is it like a beer trap for slugs? 

I think so Sprouty, I might give it a go 'cos there are sooooo many flies at the moment...the tennis racquet zapper sounds fun, but no good if it doesn't kill the buggas, (ooo that makes me sound cruel, but they really are driving me nuts) Wonder why red wine? Maybe any alcohol would do?

That works on fruit flies..    those tidgy little ones!   (drosophilia - hahahaha I can't believe I know that!!!    Throw back from A Level Human Biology - genetics module)

 

 

I know this cos they try & get in me wine when I am drinking it!

 

 

A crime punishable by death by clapping! 

 

LOL! like I said on the other page, I get them from room to room closing all the doors as I go then I get the rolled up newspaper out      Might be the 'tannins' in red wine. I dunno 

I returned from the Fatherland with a traditional pferdebremse arm. I can now reveal to my younger readers (supes) that term, short of any corrections means horsefly.

OUCH GJ

Ah well, at least these bugas don't bite, just drive me round the bend!

Right, I've moved every damned thing in the house to vacuum under and behind, (convinced myself that there must be something lurking that the cat had brought in to account for the flies,) and nothing...where the hell are they all coming from

^^^^ There are loads of flies about up here, too.

I'm using one of those Fly/Wasp killer sprays - but they stink.

That's what I was using Yogi, but it stinks and gawwwd alone knows what's in it that I'm breathing in too...My fella says it's to do with the weather that they're coming indoors more. There've definitely been far fewer today, (pouring down, thunder and lightening most of the day.) I've just made a concoction of redwine vinegar and fairly liquid in a cup, covered it with cling film, gave it a good shake to get plenty of bubbles and made some holes in the clingfilm with a pencil ,(after reading said tip on Yahoo answers)

I'll let you know if it works!

Ooooo there are two already, having a recce

Have you tried showering, Supes? 

 

 

 

 

 

*** runs ***  

Sue her Supes.

 

She's getting away with murder on here 

No flies on you, donks! 

Or you  

It's not working so far

One fly got as far as the cling film then settled on the pencil that I'd used to make the holes

The other came for my hands that still stunk of red wine vinegar, (despite several washes Bliz)

Gawd knows where they are now

Ooooo one of them's back circling around the cup..get in there ye buga, goooooo awwwwn

Is there nothing much on telly soops?

This looks fun. 

 

 

And it burps! 

Oooo that looks suitably fierce Blizz, I'm gonna look for that

  Actually, no there's bloody not and I was supposed to be out tonight but had to call off because I've been  all day

Aww! 

Twennnie squid Think I might get one

awwww soops

 

and an awwww for me too, because I am in tonight and I wanted to veg out in front of the telly

Awww  for both of you
