Mozzies
On Sunday our street had a Street Cricket session then a barby with a good few cold ones.Was brilliant apart from one thing _the Mozzies.I had had a few too many cold ones and didnt notice them till morning.8 bites on 1 leg, 5 on the other ,a few on each arm and little b******* got down my T shirt and had a good go at my back.
Mrs has gone out and got some mozzy repellant but I think I heard on here that a certain vitamin pill puts them off.Was it vitamin B? Or was it Garlic pills and if so do they make you smell garlicky?
Cheers
