It is war against mosquitoes

I am taking no prisons when it comes to mosquitoes. I was even worse this morning with bites. They were still the ones from Saturday night, but they had just had taken their time for revenge. My feet and legs look like I have chicken pocks. So tonight, after a day of using anthisan, and it not really helping, I have now armed myself with repellent containing deet, one small bottle for my handbag, a spray to stop the itching, as well as, Vick's, as mum and Dad suggested. I took two bottles of repellent up to the counter and asked the shop assistant which one she recommended - we both agreed the only way to go is with stronger one!

I have also been looking for those coils we used to burn under the table in Italy, that way you stop the mosquitoes flying under and biting your legs, but I haven't found any yet and probably need to search online from them. When I get one I will take it to any BBQ I go to in the future! Actually, I received an invite to my cul de sacs BBQ next Sunday (evening!). I have to take a side dish and what I want to drink and all the meat is provided?? I don't know how the meat is paid for as yet, but it sounds like fun and a good way to meet the street. Not to mention, it will be the first evening I can walk home, therefore I can drink what I want :)

My house phone number has now got out there, as I have received two sales calls this evening, not to mention the 15 I missed during the day. There is a website I can go to, to de-register my number, so I will get it from someone and work and do it tomorrow. It doesn't totally solve the issue, but it does help.

I have tested all the smoke alarms tonight - I know I should have done this earlier, but, luckily, all bar one works. The one that doesn't work, however, is in one of the bedrooms upstairs which has the hot water boiler. It didn't even have a battery in it! I will get a battery tomorrow and make sure the landlord knows - grrr.

I hung my 'boxing hares' picture with the super strength picture hooks I bought yesterday. It looks good and I even managed to get it straight first time!

I had a treat tonight of sushi - I haven't had it for at least a week and half! I felt like I was allowed it, because at lunch today, I was slightly late and when I got there at midday, all the food was gone so I had to have some fruit salad . I don't know why they ran out of food, I wasn't the only one who missed out. Most of the time they have so much left over. I have a suspicion it was because it was a salad combination, and more expensive to make, so they gave us less than when it is burgers for example. I shouldn't complain as it has been good most of the time considering it is brought in by an outside company.

More driving licence studying tonight I will go later this week to get it over and done with! Going for an early night now.
