Preparedness for when

Can anyone tell me, if everything on Earth is here for a purpose, just exactly what useful purpose slugs serve? They are not even decorative!

They help turn plant detritus into compost-able material. Currently they are about to serve their highest purpose, as something for GQ to distract herself with and possible vent some frustrations with a sharpened steel.

GreyQueen - it is what it is. And very soon you will find out what it is, and whatever it is you will deal with it. Now get out there and bash some slugs. Horrible things.

My attitude exactly. It probably isn't cancer, and if it is, I will have treatment and get on with it.

At the beginning of Sept 2010 Mum found a lump. By 20th Dec she'd had a mastectomy and finished radiotherapy. On the 22nd she and I were wombling a lot of heavy timber which was mostly used to make my cold frame. I thought Dad would be a tad annoyed because we were dragging it through their house from front garden to back garden and there were huge panels from a sustantial lean-to which someone had fly-tipped.

He said nothing, reckon he figured if she was wombling and planning woodwork projects, all was well.

Righty, better get off my arris and up to that allotment, got things to do and the sun is shining. See ya laters, GQ xx

PS slugs are my least-favourite parts of nature and just about the only things I kill on sight on the lottie.

So why do slugs come into my sodding house, then?

Years ago I lived in a Victorian terraced house, and came downstairs one morning to find dozens of the blighters slithering around the kitchen floor.

Cue much cursing and swearing. My OH went round putting salt on them all then spent the day scrutinising the kitchen for gaps in the walls and filling said gaps.

Even today, living in a more modern property, we still find the odd slug sneaking in. I reckon the cats are responsible.

Anyone heard of that?

You guys know I like watching the adventures of Reponut on Youtube. If you view from 19 minutes in here, you can see this poor man gets his car repossessed due to being overdrawn on his cheque account:

Now, I bet you thought that couldn't happen in the UK. If any of you have a credit card with the same bank as your current account, have a look at the terms & conditions. I bet it says somewhere that debts on the credit card can be deducted from any other account with the institution.

My bank asked me why I did not want a credit card from them. I explained that occasionally I don't pay a credit card bill for something that turned out to be faulty. Try doing that if they have access to your current account.

Its worse than that, though I haven't checked for a while - it was any account you were a signatory to, which I why I don't bank where the charity/trust I'm a signatory to does.
Many years back I sacked someone for fraud, spent a couple of days trying to sort things out with Inland Revenue, Customs and the police. In the meantime the sackee seriously overdrew his personal accounts and the bank took money from my business account (where he was a signatory) then from my personal account to balance the business account. On top of fraud of 80K I ended up losing 20K to the bank's "legal" actions.
The person I sacked had been paying the VAT and tax bills into his own account - I was so busy trying to get things sorted among threats of me being arrested that removing his name from the company account was the last thing I'd thought of.

An interesting little article on the newsfeed this morning saying that Ted Cruze the American politician is saying that Barak Obama is visiting the UK in the near future and will be pushing for the UK not to brexit, he feels that Mr Obama might make the brits feel even more inclined to exit by stating a preference for us to stay. Do they not understand that we can ALL make up our own minds over this? nothing will make me decide on how to vote other than how I see the situation, not even the American President, who I have a great respect for, has the right to try to influence our personal thinking on something as important to the UK as this. We are British and capable of making our own decisions over the EU without interference from anyone!!!

Life is trying all round at the moment. I am finding it hard to be sunny. May go to the Garden Fence for a vent in a couple of days when I have calmed down enough for my thoughts to be even printable. The words mother in law are involved.

No smilies whatsoever.
