    It's that time of year when we get mouse- sized spiders indoors:eek:

    Caught 2 tonight.

    I was beginning to think that we had a mouse in our bedroom as I kept hearing little noises. I honestly think it was Mr Spider playing amongst the rolls of wrapping paper under the wardrobe:eek:

    Tic Tacs also worked with 1 mint, 1 cherry and 1 strawberry. Paid £1 and 3 cheap fillers, don't suppose it will last long though.
    Strawberry flavour has Ferrero on the receipt so that might explain the glitch, this rings a bell

    Good Grief :mad:
    Has anyone else except me and the usual suspects been affected by the water 'crisis' in this area??
    Just seen in the news that United utilities will be contacting customers about compensation?? Why??
    Yes it has been a pain in the rear end slightly. But I have a largish family and animals I've been giving cooled boiled water to and I've no other hassle than keeping 2 big pans of safe, covered water on the stove and a few more bottled waters than I usually have in. In no way have I had the sort of expense or inconvenience that warrants compensation :mad:

    Over the last few days I have saw the most ridiculous moaning ever. On FB, in the press, on the news. The people on the news are the best. A single mother of 4 with a dog who 'just can't cope'....a woman who can't walk well and is having trouble carrying teeth brushing water upstairs (just a suggestion love but bring your toothbrush downstairs for a few days?? :o ) I stood next to a woman in Ts on Friday who was insisting near to tears to a poor staff member that 'NEEDED' bottled water because she had an 8 month baby who would suffer if she didn't have a bath and she puts bath toys in her mouth in the bath..........honestly there is more and worse! I also saw someone in another supermarket with a lifetime supply of bottled water :eek:

    Total, total overreaction and I do wonder what would happen in a real crisis. What happened to the spirit that can cope with a crisis??

    I have a different view on businesses that have lost out financially because of this and that's a different matter. Most importantly it's places like care homes, hospitals, nurseries etc that have suffered. Not Joe blogs who had to drive to Ts and buy 50l of water!

    I don't want compensayshun ( I saw that variety of spelling on a post on UU FB page :eek:) but if I get it I will be giving it to a charity that supports people in countries who struggle every day to have clean water.

    Rant over :o
