Chocolate?

Don't mention the c-word.

Yes I do eat the fruit of the cacoa bean. Not a huge amount though.

Low caffeine then . I think low rather than no is often the way to go with things personally, for most people.

I would so love a long cool drink of something summery and alcoholic. I'd take an iced coffee. Or tea. Oh, I have a tea that is nice iced. I'll brew that tomorrow!

Ducks like them.

Or as I read somewhere (sorry, forgotten where, prob a gardening forum) "A surfeit of slugs is a dearth of ducks"! :rotfl:

I've tried snails once (felt I should at least give them a go). Not sure I'll ever feel the need again.

What is one *supposed* to do with slugs and snails?

We stick them in our green bin so they get "re-homed" at our local re-cycling facility. We are kind to them though, and give them lots of weeds etc so they don't go hungry. (Just in case there are any rabid slug-lovers on here!) The snails always crawl to the top of the bin, so we have to make sure we knock them back in when we need to add more stuff to it. Can't let them escape!

Any updates PN? I've pretty much used up my whole phone battery refreshing the page this morning (goes a bit funny sometimes and loses charge quickly, but still )

Well, at 2pm I wanted to come here to say I was bored of waiting .... but my PC was too sluggish and Avira forced an update, which then nagged for a restart... so I restarted and now it's too sluggish to use..... and then ....

The phone rang at 3pm. All done/dusted. So I just arranged the buildings cover.... and am now on my laptop.

It's ferkin real and that's a whole weird feeling....

Phewwww! I've been really quite tense about it, so I don't know how you coped.

I have an empty tank and the pump seems to be working so I need to spend the next couple of weeks using water and then turn on the pumps and see if it really is working or not.

Not being emotionally attached to it helped.... in fact, having an excuse to walk away would (most of the time) have been a bonus....

When you can't get what you want and are buying what's available, you kind of wonder if it'll all turn out for the worst.....

So, is there anybody out there still without a house, or was I the last to get one?
