    However, their evil little friend(s), no idea what, decided to share my bed the other night and I have around 30 little spots on each leg :eek:.

    Only you would admit to that! :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Sounds like bedbugs :eek::eek::eek:
    Guess you won't be visiting me any time soon :rotfl:.

    TBH I have looked up bed bugs, fleas :eek: etc and it doesn't look like any of them. Nor prickly heat (thank goodness as it's only April)

    Having looked closely at them, there are hundreds :eek: , off to spend a horrifying hour on tinternet :)

    Well after much deliberation I have diagnosed - spotty legs with undetermined cause :D.

    Asleep on roof and woken by the goats going passed - so many bells I thought there was a coronation or something :rotfl:. Same herd as last night, must be around 75 of them :).

    Lula - sorry, will drop you a text - in UK tomorrow :o.

    So it's got till I'm back next month to buck its ideas up or it's going to the home for abandoned plants (i.e. dump it next to the bins and see what soft touch picks it up ;)). Just in case it doesn't think I'm serious, a rosemary bush, pot and all, went there today as it refused to fight off a scale insect infestation despite my copious assistance :eek:.

    Forgot to say, plant and pot plus little plastic table I took down to the bin all adopted yesterday within an hour of dropping off :T.

    Well finally decided to catch up myself on your diary and the most striking bit is the last serious mention of anything financial is over 200 posts ago (with the odd exception of ebaying the proceeds of the house and a money shuffle) :money:

    Can only imagine what new readers think - must be slightly baffled :think:

    You are certainly "selling the life" and it is a credit to you that you have created such a big virtual friendship base. :j

    So I guess it is good to show the benefits of all your hard work and dedication and for people like El and AJM (who specifically mention they seek your lifestyle) illustrate what any of us can achieve - because we both know our backgrounds :)

    I am intrigued though .......... being a simple man

    See you in a week :smileyhea
