    Oh, I meant to tell you guys about something creepy that happened yesterday. I had the door open and a fly flew in. I think it was a bitey type but I'd never seen one like that before, and I only noticed when I looked down and saw it on my arm. I tried to get it off and it wouldn't fly away. Eventually it flew away but not far. I tried to chase it outside and when it wouldn't go, I tried to kill it, but I couldn't catch it. After a lot of chasing it with the hoover, it flew outside and I shut the doors. Then I looked outside and it was hovering outside the window, looking like it was staring in. When I looked 10 minutes later, it was still there.

    Did it by any chance have a human face? :D :rotfl:

    Seriously, though, what did it look like?

    calley, hope the pain eases off soon. As for little spending sprees you've got to treat yourself sometimes...at least thats what i tell myself!

    Thank you.

    LOL!!! yes but the more I spend the quicker I have to go back to work though :rotfl:

    Oh and did my good deed for the day. Told a woman in sainsburys that was looking at buying clothes if she waited until monday 25% off she said thanks and left.

    Yours

    Calley

    I know but the problem is that to many people are self centered and only care about themselves and no one else.

    My neighbours are like that. One of my neighbours thought and I believe still thinks it ok to park on the pavement on my drop kerb. When I asked them to move it I just got a load of lip. Should use it more, thought you were in as lights on in your house, you park on our side of the road!!! Really its none of your business and the front of the garden is down to grass!!! So very handy in the middle of winter. All of too lazy to park a few feet down the road and walk.

    What do they think I have to do then!!!!

    I now just park awkward for the sake of it LOL!!! None of them think about others and neither shall I.

    Yours

    Potentially strange question....but is it weird of me to have gone though my facebook and remove ALL traces of my abusive twatty ex? I've been meaning to do it for a few years but never got around to it. The other night i was feeling a bit crappy and just started deleting things, once it was done i felt an incredible feeling of relief and release. Knowing i will never see his face or his name mentioned again made me feel better. But i'm worried the fact it bothered me means i'm still somehow hung up on it? I mean i don't feel i am, i don;t even hate him anymore. I just didn't want to be reminded of a very miserable part of my life for the forseeable future (i have that timehop app which i think is what prompted it! Its an app that brings up all your posts off twiiter and facebook for that day, mostly it reminds me of happy memories which is why i have it but a few times stuff regarding the ex in question came up-but they won't anymore)

    Not at all.

    Probably a good idea. Cleansing of the body and soul and mind.

    Nothing wrong with a bit of editing MU.

    Pyxis, the fly was a orangey brown colour with a pointy bum and long legs. It did not have a human face thankfully. I have no idea what it is. We were visited by a dragonfly yesterday too.

    Did it have delta-shaped wings, or sticky-out-to-the-sides wings?
