    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    Sounds. Like you've got fleas hg:o:eek:




    :p

    When we had our flea infestation, I was the only one who suffered bites. At the time we were living in a married quarter and didn't actually have any pets but the previous owners had. They are already carpeted when you move in. As the carpets are expected to look like new when you move back out again, and be the same carpet as when you move in, it was common practise to lift the carpet. You put down your own alternative cheapo carpet and store the married quarter one in perfect condition to lay down again when you moved out.

    I think we disturbed the fleas when we lifted the carpet :o the Scottish amongst us will know what I mean when I say the place was loupin' :eek: :rotfl:

    I will say if you have fleas you'd more than likely have seen them by now. They're attracted to the heat in ours and animals blood and if you've got that many bites without having seen a flea it's likely to be something else.

    I really hope you get to the root of it

    I always have M&S underwear packaged away. :o

    Congratulations to your DD. :T Are your chauffeuring days going to be over soon. ;)

    No I might need to get a job as a chauffeur to pay for her car :o
    When it came down to it, I wanted her to feel as special as DS1 did and just couldn't make her take his sloppy seconds :o (she already has middle child syndrome)
    I got a very good deal on a lease for 2 years. There are actually some really good deals on leases when you look into it.

    Yes I could've and maybe should've been MSE about it. But her confidence about it was so low :o I got the car a couple of weeks back as an incentive :D I've been driving around in it and will miss it :o it's small and nippy.

    We went out tonight and I didn't let her go out in the car with her mates. She also only gets to drive on the proviso she wears P plates. She's taking her dad out tomorrow. He's a terrible passenger :eek: so I will stay out of that unless any 999 calls need to be made

    You are right there FC, the last time we were infested I had white socks on need I say anymore. :o

    Time before I noticed one on bed after Mr TS had sat on it with his work trousers on that was when we narrowed it down to one of his client's houses. :eek:

    Funny as both these instances we didn't have our cats anymore never had a problem in the house while we had them. We did in our old flat but then got into routine of treating the cats so was quite a shock to be infested not having pets. :o

    Bed for me, I really wanted to go out and search for the cheap Tassimo pods as they are DD2's favourite but didn't want to go out in the night air with this cough.

    So going to try and get up early, and David. I know my early and yours are two different things. :p

    Goodnight all. :A

    :eek: NOOOO!!!

    These are the worst invention/idea ever! If someone has proved their competence and been able to pass a test, they should not have to have these on their car, they are like a red rag to a bull. There was a school near me, where all the students were advised to take these off their cars, as people were looking for them, and then getting infront of the P plated cars and slamming their brakes on, hoping that the inexperienced drivers would crash into the back of them for a nice juicy insurance claim.
