    ps

    rip to win is open for a new day now. I lost again.

    Cheers :beer:
    I lost too.
    Wonder if it is like that other fb game thing that all the winners were around the same time, could be worth watching.


    On a side, I got a strange big bubble blowing thing in the post today. I can remember it slightly, but where did it come from?

    What about that copper sticky tape all around the room?

    Ooh where can you buy that? Is it very expensive, I did suggest slug pellets but she had not bought any. I wish I had known it was still a problem as I could have took some with me.

    She has just over 3 weeks left in this house. They are not renting it next year. Thankfully.

    Here is one place, I just clicked on the first google link.

    http://www.tradetoolshop.com/rentokil-slug-snail-barrier-tape-4m.html?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=CjkKEQjw_tOdBRDv9tuvl7eAtNEBEiQA9Qm5IiM2aXy2_afoYFxLMCDF4l9CrVHPIr7P7Q53vtYvIybw_wcB

    But if she only has 3 weeks left, an idea might be to just buy some copper pipes from B&Q, put them around the skirting boards, then in 3 weeks time, return them to B&Q for a refund.

    Aw bless her, that's a shame :( has she been able to trace where they are getting in? You need to treat that area or lay down things that will kill them. I use diatomous earth.....it stops everything!! It's not cheap but it's worth it to me because I use it in the chicken coops, greenhouses and anywhere else I find Nasty things.
    Slugs are so nasty :(

    They have seen them come through from under the skirting on the outside wall of the lounge. And the boys have clearly marked the spot with the words "Slug gate" on the skirting board. :rotfl:
