    Thanks Newgirly.

    Spendy day but productive. Helped the rents with some more decluttering.

    Vouchers spent in pizza e (lunch) and S & M ( school uniform).

    Being bothered by flying ants. Any solutions?
  • Sorry, no solution, but they will probably be gone tomorrow,

    We had them, last year but my neighbour told me they just go in a day or so. Hope they're gone soon for you.

    Ed! Lovely to see you old bean!

    Mating on the wing is a pretty high risk strategy!

    They are randy b u g g e r s here since their nuptial flight is every other day. OMG what if they arent flying ants...

    Thanks Cath. What did yours look like?

    New instructor very good but didnt give us the full hour. Am I being petty to be irritated by that?

    Lots of washing done and small areas of house reclaimed. Aga will not behave so trying to get someone out or its cook for 9 on the Baby Belling.eek.

    Not at all if it was paid for... if they cut the session short again I would definitely have a word.
