    Becks-she is 11, just started high school this time!



    Geoff-seems I have been lucky with the weather, had a walk round the garden even if I didn't do anything.

    I'm at the point of needing to dig out a chunk of border to give it a sort out. Have the joy of trying to pick out as much bits of bindweed root as I can! Decided it was a bigger job than the time I had.

    Had the excitement of a massive ironing pile instead!



    Maybe the forum members and cake experts should be used as testers on the British Bake off programme! image

    Oh yes nola. I know exactly what an 11 year old's bedroom looks like. image

    Little Miss is poorly. image She has just fell asleep, struggling with a streaming nose and eyes, refusing her milk and saying she is cold, with a duvet on her! Hate it when kids are ill.image

  • Better off without milk Becks, it makes the runny nose worse! I like hot Ribena when I have a cold. Hope Jess is better soon

    Well I think I can safely say tonight has been the worst night I have ever had in this house.

    At 2am, I went into the kitchen for my last ciggie before bed, only to discover loads of maggotts by my back door! I picked up Jessies mat, and under it were more! I picked up the mat to throw it out, opened the door, and my step, door, and patio as far as I could see in pitch black are covered in them!

    So here I am, at 5.30am, still not been to bed, waiting for daylight so I can go out and see where the source is, which I suspect is my wheelie bin that never got emptied while I was on holiday. image They are crawling through the cracks around the door, and are climbing up my windows! It's like a scene from a horror movie.image

    And to top it all, Jess has just woke up poorly.  Hope all of your days start better. image

  • Welcome to the early-bird posters' shift.

    Poor you.

    The insides, of dustbins, and even containers inside the house that you might use to put waste in, even temporarily, can very easily become crawling with maggots. It can happen in just a few days. You wonder how it happened.

    There are lots of kinds of maggots. There are those inside dustbins, that I assume are flies. But you can also find maggots in furniture or clothes - the lavea of clothes moths.

    It's miserable here too as heavy rain is forecast, for the entire day.

    Perhaps an opportunity to wash out the dustbin.
