Thanks boultdj ... another of those times when I wish we had one here but we don't Still, we did get a Dunelm Mill eventually so you never know!

I appreciate you stopping by and taking the time to mention it though, that's kind of you. I swear if we had one I'd be there like a shot now I know!

Look on line,they have a website,only thing is I can't remember if it's them or B&M who deliver. Other wise Chemist Direct is probably you best bet.
And I'll go back to lurking now.

I get bitten to death by all things mozzie and have moved to this mode. In the evening when outside I always cover up and wear jungle strength mozzie repellant ( a stick not a spray). I purchased light weight beach trousers especially for sitting out in my own garden. Definitely put the cover on the water butt, this hot humid weather is perfect for mozzies and horseflies and they LOVE still water. In the house get a fan on to move the air about they hate that. I have had two really bad horse fly bites that ended up with me in hospital on intravenous anti-biotics - I hate those creatures.

On a more pleasant note how lucky are your students? And it sounds like they really appreciate you too.

I just try to treat them how I'd want my own boys to be treated and there are some who you're really happy to go an extra mile for ... we've been so lucky this season to get boys who are no problem in any way, it's a real relief so I don't mind helping them out where I can.

Gawd, sounds like you have an awful time of it Toots, IV antibiotics is no fun. You're clearly wise to their little ways now and as ever you meet the challenge with excellent preparation.

Based on all this excellent advice I've received from all you kind peeps I'm making me a list of bobbins to buy for self protection (need not want, we could get a whole proper summer of it, you never know) and I've added butt lid to mr Hbbb's holiday to do list (he will be thrilled of course)!

Its the green one. My vet recommended it for FoggyFell pony.

I echo your thanks, on behalf of Mr Goldie - I'll be buying eucalyptus oil for him


I did hear that we had a Home Bargains near us now. It's not on the web site, but next week I'm going to pop over to where I think it is, and see if I can find it!

I guess that explains why FoggyFell pony has less scabby legs than me, bless him! Clearly the pink has the placebo effect, as in no bally effect!

Good luck, Mr. Goldie is very lucky to have prepared to go to such lengths on his itchy behalf!

MFW Actions:

Absolutely none. Can't claim a NSD as friend popped round to trim my hair and I always pay her.

Everything else was frugal but nothing major to declare. Looking forward to student money and some client money due tomorrow so I can make a MOP and update then.

SMASH day 53 / 100 = £ 2,358 / £ 3,000

Grey Clouds:

None, all calm here for a change!

Silver Linings:

Confirmation papers through for next students.

Host rep from other school coming round tomorrow to check the house and hopefully give us some short-stay students through the autumn.

Daily Declutter:

About half an inch of hair all around? Does that count?

Simple pleasures:

So I happened to be up the henhouse to check on my slowly roasting hens who choose not to use the shade, and I found this ...



Can you see it towards the top of the photo? My first passion fruit :T

Not sure it will be very edible, but there seem to be plenty more on the way.

Hope you're all OK! Hugs to those in need and hugs of joy and excitement to those who've finally limped over the term's finish line! You deserve medals, all of you. :T
