to be honest if you went to a gym it is not all stick insects that go, i see pensioners, big ladies and lots of average men and women.
Ive been going to gyms for over 10 years, and i still get nervous when i go to a new one.
Mandy

yeah I know, a gym called curves opened up - aimed at ladies only so may go there, trouble is now the boys are off and i have no one to look arter them - so it would have to be evenings only - much cooler i suppose

anway i'm tired so logging off
see you tomorrow
Deb

Sleep tight
Mandy

that's awful, they should have been given water as well, they were lucky that only two were ill and no one died. A friend of mine's daughter died of dehydration

nite Deb.

you could always try early mornings, i'm better at getting it over with at the start of the day - less chance to come up with excuses

i was really mad . the little one was so thirsty when he got home he drank a full sports bottle of juice in one go. He then had ice pops and another big drink.

That must be awful losing a child to dehydration.
Ive just been outside to get my last lot of washing in. It is still hot
Mandy

it is here too - we have all the windows open but there isn't any breeze at all. yesterday all the flying ants appeared and today the wasps. good prep for Oz

thats what worries me, how will i cope .
Hate wasps, we had one in the house the kids were screaming i was trying to be brave and the dogs were trying to catch it :scared:
hubby says we will cope cos they have air con and pools, so providing we have them in place i should be fine.
Mandy

that is what i prefer morning exercise. Unfortunatly at the mo i have to do afternoon
Mandy

thing is, the uk isn't used to hot weather so there's only central heating and no air con !

So true. Ive filled a bucket up will cool water, as the smell from my feet
Was too much.
I feel a little cooler. Just as well you cant see me
Im off to try and sleep now. Catch you later
Mandy

ARGHHH
bloddy flying ants, ruined a perfectly good chat with my sister in the garden, then had to rush in the shut all the windows, little b*ggers I hate the things, I can handle wasps,

here's a tip, get a coke/lemonade bottle, cut the top off with a fair bit of the bottle, in the base of the bottle put apple sauce, jam or honey (apple sauce works best), turn the top of the bottle upside down and insert it into the base of the bottle, (don't cut the bottle too far down as this won't work), if there are any gaps seal with tape.

the wasps are drawn to the sweetness of the apple, they can get down the bottle but not out.

i've not used this - my sister swears by it

cripes I've never seen flying ants???

the wasp trap sounds a good idea

they are horrible things - big b*ggers too

you should write a book with all these tips

yesterday we had a swarm of wasps outside the front door so there must be a nest somewhere, we've looked everywhere but can't find it
