What is hacking you off today?

I believe there are certain types of flowers which are poison to cats (check for dogs too) and you wouldn't be wanting to put them down to be eaten would you.:winking:

That was one of the things that the site I spoke about suggested. The cats just shat on the plant crafty little *****.

Cats, fox, squirrel, none come near my garden; get yourself an Airedale terrier!

I've got a Labrador and she terrorises the cats in the back garden just can't trust her not to bolt out the front.

If you haven't already tried it get a plant called 'Coleus Canina' , cats really don't like it.
If you get really close & sniff it (the plant not the cats shee-ite) you will know why.
Most nurseries sell it, i know Summerhill Garden Centre in Billericay do.

Foxes that have dug several wholes in my lawn have now also started to scratch plants and shrubs from the flower beds. I am an animal lover but this lot (at least three of them) are really testing my patience.

Will have to give that a try, it's ridiculous down this road it's like there is some sort of cat mafia down here. They go around doing whatever they want and just causing trouble.

I was going to go down the super soaker or nerf gun route but I'm pretty sure if I get caught in ****ed. Especially in the job role I'm in won't look too good. And in this community they are all gossips!

If you get one you have to promise me you'll post a picture of you with it in full uniform.

Amen to that. Though it does seem that some have been trying to just have a few drinks and enjoy the football. What I struggle to understand is why the bars and restaurants in Marseille weren't told to serve drinks in plastic bottles or to use plastic glasses during this spell, seems mad to me - like you're providing the ammunition in an already volatile situation.

See it's a tough one, you can say well they were goaded by the French and the Russians etc. but all that does is bring out the inner moron that was inside them already. If when provoked you do that, then you probably should have stayed at home and had a word with yourself anyway.

Previous home owners had dogs and they've left us with a nice flea infestation. ****knuckles.

Amazing. Why would you own a dog and not get it regularly treated? If you've noticed fleas, how could they have lived there and not noticed themselves - like by getting bitten?

Congrats otherwise on the new place pal. Important times.

Cheers G. Yeah I don't know - the previous owners seem pretty weird. To be fair it's warm and wet at the moment and we had the carpets steamcleaned which may not of helped things. hopefully we can get it sorted because the missus and I are getting nibbled (and not in a sexy way) and we don't want the kids to get bitten either. the long term plan is to rip up and replace the carpets but we don't have the funds or spare time to do that immediately.

Surely that's a part of breaking the contract? Speak to your solicitor - maybe you can sue them and get the soft furnishings replaced and/or bug exterminators in. Our vendors have a great big dog as well....worrying.

I had a "mate", who had two cats that were infested. I once visited his house but you could visibility see the fleas jumping.....and he had two young kids. #scumbag

To be honest it's £50 to get the council guy around to treat the place. I'm pretty sure our solicitor would roll their eyes, and their solicitor would tell them to get stuffed. It's annoying because we would have had the treatment done sooner if we'd noticed, before we physically moved in from the inlaws and got our furniture out of storage.

anyway, pretty dull stuff.

You wait until one of those fleas DOES bite you in a sexy way. Then see how dull it is.

Especially if its an Aids flea. Then you won't be laughing......

On Friday I was working from home. At about 11.45 my wife came home, said nothing to me and just run straight out again. I watched her get in her car and drive off. This was very unusual especially as I wasn't expecting her home until about 2.00pm. About 45 minutes later I got a call from her saying she's in the doctor's surgery with our youngest who was found in the cloakroom at school clutching his tummy and not knowing what to do. He was also drifting in and out of consciousness and was in a really bad way. It was an suspected appendicitis.

I dropped everything and walked to the surgery (it's about a 5 minute walk). By the time I got there they had already called an ambulance. According to the GP his heart rate was low, as was his blood sugar, although he didn't have a temperature.

My wife and son went in the ambulance, and I followed in my wife's car. By the time we got to the hospital he had perked up, the pain in his tummy had gone, and he seemed Ok, but an ECG that was performed in the ambulance showed an abnormal rhythm in his heart. A surgeon checked his stomach, and decided there was nothing wrong. A full ECG was carried out, and all was normal, and so was everything else.

They sent us home, but told us to keep a close eye on him, which we did. All is still fine.

However, as you can imagine that was a very stressful time, but I still haven't got to the bit that has hacked me off. As you can imagine, when this started my wife had to leave her physio practice and leave a patient in the waiting room. They explained to the patient what had happened and said they would make an appointment available to her the next day (on Saturday) should she wish. (The patient was being assessed for an insurance claim for a car accident.) The patient loosely re-booked for Saturday evening at 6.00pm, but never confirmed. Today my wife received an email from the patient's solicitor accusing her of being unprofessional, and advising my wife she was going elsewhere.

What a toerag. Do you have an address? I could send the boys round and they could dispense a bit of extreme "physio".
