It certainly does :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: but still doesnt help me. :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm blaming the mild winter. No frost to kill things off so there's loads more of everything now.
I have red lilly beetles for the first time ever here and the slug population is out of control :eek: as are the garden weeds. We need our cold snaps to keep things under control and we didn't get one

OH reminded me of chewy cola flavoured blue and white sweets that were called 'Argentinas' in 1978 :eek: :o does anyone remember them?

Yes you are right, we have a huge garden here in Wales, and probably disturbed something and garden has gone potty over the last 2 weeks, everything grown like mad. We have a big compost heap at the bottom of the garden and with no cold snaps, god knows what is lurking in it.

Yes very muggy here too, dont even want to put fans on, cause it blowing them around, have put bleach down in sinks and in bowls see if that will attract them and kill them off.:mad:

You'd be better getting a jar of jam, tipping the jam out (but not cleaning the jar) and filling it with water. The sugar attracts them and then when they go to the jar, they fall in and drown. I have them on all the window ledges in summer. Works with anything sweet in a jar

I feel the need to point out that '78 wasn't the last time we qualified :eek:

......the curse of the reed diffusers. I said it the other night :cool: :rotfl:

We have the little flies I nearly ate one earlier. :eek:

But I don't have any reed diffusers. Well I do have some BS ones packed away somewhere, just none out at the moment.

Evening all, I have such a hectic social life at the moment.

Been to a Wedding Ceilidh this evening and I couldn't believe it when my favourite fiddler was there. Two nights in a row what a treat.
