General chat about not a lot thread

I think I saw Melania Trump smile properly for the irst time ever to day, she was with Catherine visiting some scouts, had one small child on her lap and was playing with others, I've never seen her look so human.

I wish this site wouldn't decide it's randomly going to sign me out and that when it does my cursor would work properly and not stay stuck, it never matters what mouse I use, it always does it to annoy me.

I had an oddity the other day, I was coming in from outside and realised a draft was blowing under my toes, I looked down and I had a hole in the toe of my slippers!

Parents
  • We have loads of small flies/midges in our flat at the moment - it's so annoying. I looked on the internet and found a recommendation to put cider vinegar in a small bowl/container with a little washing up liquid - the idea is that they're attracted to the cider vinegar, but the soap in the liquid breaks.the surface tension and traps them. We only had malt vinegar, so we put that in an empty sweet corn can and added a little plum & pomegranate washing up liquid and so far it's attracted loads of them. Only two "dead in the water" so far, but lots crawling on the can instead of flying around my head or crawling on things I don't want them on such as drinks glasses.

    Talking about slippers, mine were getting very worn so I bought some nice new furry ones from Primark the other day - very comfy and warm.

  • I've got a pair of old fashioned granny bootee slippers that I like because they keep my ankles warm, the ones with an hole in are slip on mule style ones. I shall ask for some more for xmas. I hope that the place were I go my winter boots from will reduce the same style ones in time for my birthday, I mean purple winter boots, whats not to love!

    Fearn's not happy today, it's to wet for her to want to go out and it's all my fault, of course, I mena I can make it light when it's dark and warm when it's cold, why can't I make it dry when it's wet?
