Why does everything bite me
 
What is it with the insects over here. I am one giant mozzie luncheon or something??

And then to top it all off yesterday I was moving a piece of trellis that the previous owners had left stashed next to a wall so it would not squash the children. In moving it I caught some giant bush growing in the garden. Something black, buzzing and seriously cheesed off I had re-arranged it's home with the relevant permissions stung me on the nose and the leg, and it hurt!! :cry_smile:



Still love the country though. now must get the broadband connected so her indoors has something to do

This is something that has perplexed me ...

I'm pretty mozzie resilient - they don't seem to like me......

But my girlfriend can be sitting beside me and she is getting chomped all over the place...... not sure why they like her but not me.....???

I reckon its cause she moans too much - and they are attracted to moaners..:lol::D


On that topic, did you see my other thread....???:p:p.

If not, here is the link (he he he, chuckle chuckle)

Hi my oh is the same. He can be outside for a matter of seconds and get biten. He is always the one getting eaten alive. I've hardly been bothered at all.

Mosquitos love me.

It's my pale English skin... I'm trying to leather up a bit in the sun like the Aussies and hopefully that will keep them away.
