    GG I see you have a fitbit, could you do ma a huge favour and wear it on your ankle one day and see if it works? Working in the hospital we are not allowed to wear watches etc and I quite fancied a fitbit but couldnt justify buying one if I cant even wear it, was wondering if it was possible to wear on the ankle

    Sorry to be a pest :)

    Will try later - I have the fitbit one which has a clip - ideal for wearing with shoes/sandals :D.

    Yes, most are bracelet style so you'd have to wear round your ankle like an electronic tag - which may give you some kudos :rotfl:. I can report that the fitbit one works well on a shoe :T.

    Got money stuff to do, including deposit for boiler :eek:. Trouble is I need to change SIM card over to UK one as Santander send a code to phone. So that necessitates getting up off sofa :o. Probably not happening any time soon :rotfl:.

    Good grief :eek: did you encourage it outwards? Or is it resting in your dustbin?

    I want to know how you identify them. A stinging creature coming into my home, is met with Mrs T and a book, paper etc to bash it on the head. How do you find the time to study them? Or are you kinder than me and catch them in a glass and release outside?
