    How is Butti? Properly moved in?

    I'm tired. Just trying to motivate myself to put the last bookcase together so all the books can go away. Better get started!

    Do you remember that scene in Pretty Woman?
    Julia Roberts goes back to the shop assistant who refused to serve her and says " Big Mistake. ...HUGE!!!"

    Yesterday we had two quiz teams at the pub and one team asked me to move to make way for their friend. They were non too subtle about it either.

    Quite nice to win..... even better to beat them by 14 points!

    And good of you to skip doing the "We slaughtered you" victory lapdance in their faces. That shows magnanimity in victory...

    I wasn't entirely unsmug!

    House has been a bit mixed.
    Have a cold and had half a tooth removed ready for a crown so feeling sorry for myself. Have had toothache since yesterday!
    Today the door lock from the house into the porch has stopped working so I can 't get out of the front of the house. Seeing my landlady on Saturday so I'm going to ask her for a locksmith recommendation.

    But the big news (you'll all start doing the same action in a minute! LOL ).......is that when my bed came back from storage it didn't come alone......It had hitchhikers.
    EEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwww!! :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Have to try and get a sample for Environmental Health this weekend! Bizarrely (he's a sentence you won't hear often!) I think I'd rather have fleas than bedbugs!

    Well either of them are curious, as they both need blood to feed on. No food = starve. The question is then - what were they feeding on? :eek:
