    Soappie - been meaning to ask you, what's the difference between a stag beetle and a 'normal' beetle? Suppose I should just google it

    Talking of beetles i've got them coming down the chimney again! Grrrrr!

    Flying - removed two beetles from fireplace and sorted clinic for work this afternoon. I'm about to declutter a cheese and pickled onion sandwich for lunch.

    See you all later. Hugs to everyone xx

    Ooh Mudders you have mty sympathy re the beetles - till the day I day I'll remember the day I opened the loft hatch and beetles (live and dead) rained down on me...screams and beetle chasing - those big black ones - not stag beetles LOL - not scared of them but was, understandably, shocked...and I open it tentatively EVERY time now

    Anyway I have a sparkly bathroom and 2 lines of washing...PC is virus scanned and defragged and...***wanders off to check listy***
