ARGH!!! I just found a flea on my dog!!!! He'd been scratching, his Frontline was about a week overdue and did it on Monday. Just gone through his coat with a nit comb and found a little nasty thing hopping around. I've gone through him several times now and still only found the one but ARGH I could scream right now. It's only started since we moved here, I was thinking it couldn't be from the owners pets as they moved out several months ago, then I read on a website the eggs can live for 9 months! ARGH!!!

Anyway, being a stress head over I have been and found more info, it does say on many sites that treating the pet should deal with it, that any on them will die within 24 hours of contact with them because of the treatment, but think I would prefer to treat the house aswell, peace of mind more than anything else. I will get another bottle of spray tomorrow. Thankfully there is only one carpet downstairs in the conservatory but there is the hall, stairs and bedrooms to treat. Think I am more annoyed as it's the first time any pet of mine has had them, they've always been treated regularly.

Frontline is fantastic, it's one expense I don't mind paying, I've always used it on my dobi and have never seen a flea (touch wood!). Although, aparently, dobermanns don't usually get fleas anyway, something to do with the short, straight fur I suppose.

raphael for dinner, what about pasta and cheese, oh I just fancy that right now.

Hmm, tuna pasta bake sounds good. I don't have any cream, do you reckon putting a little milk in the bottom of the pan would work? Would the pasta have to be cooked first?

So bedroom tomorrow, not too bad, thank's pigpen!:D My list for tomorrow then...

Get in a manky cupboard. Give it all GOOD scrub out before placing the things you need to use soon at the front, throw out everything you don’t want/need. If no messy cupboard do a food inventory!! Feel free to get carried away and do more cupboards!!!
