Valkyrie Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Love the widdle mousie! DS is in the bad books for splatting a big spider in the bathroom - DD freaks out at the mess. The worst bit is he left it dangling too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Always a leg sticking up too in the last throes of death Just to remind you what it was before you battered it to a pulp. I find they climb in the duvet covers I hang on my whirly washing line (doesnt whirl much) and I either iron them or batter them when they appear when i'm in bed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 I hate them too; so many this year as well.... those big, stripey ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It's the daddy long legs - where does the rest of it go to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 It's the daddy long legs - where does the rest of it go to? In my cat's tummy! Biscuit likes to crunch them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Thing is they make the cat's breath smell vile after munching a few - well, one of my brother's cats couldn't stop eating them. Bleh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 One day my ED had her vegetarian friend round and they were admiring our lovely sweet Ziggy outside the patio windows when she splatted a daddy long legs against the glass and then crunched it. Her friend went off cats I hate going outdoors first in the morning at the moment because of all the spiders webs that get spun overnight and have a huge stripy spider in the middle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dippy bird Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 This will sound awful, but when I was little, I used to trap daddy long legs in my mums net curtains, then sit and pull all their legs off one by one, then finally their wings so there was just a wriggly body left! I am now absolutely terrified of them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 We had a huge Fred walk across the lounge this evening. I think he's hiding under my quilt! Oh well, he'll have to walk somewhere else when I get back to it! Daddy long legs are supprisingly hard to swat - when we were young (BC) OH tried to kill it, thought he had and popped the "body" in the bin in our bedroom - it had been bouncing off us and buzzing around in the middle of the night. Lights out back to bed. Bzzzzz. Wretched thing was still alive and buzzing the plastic liner. Swat. Back to bed. Bzzzzzzzz! Not kidding, it took OH 5 times to do it properly - by that time we were wide awake! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 No spider this morning - just foxes in the open porch at 4.30 I might as well have got up then - I'd have more done by now! We're going away on Friday - I'm going to have lie-ins.......until 7am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I can't wait!! I would love to lie-in 'til mid morning but my body clock doesn't work that way. I quite like being up early, even on holiday - perhaps I should say 'especially on holiday' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite like being up early, even on holiday - perhaps I should say 'especially on holiday' Me too - when we went to Devon in October I loved being up before anybody else and watching the sun rise over the rolling hills, it was very cold though, but special just being on my own.

Space Chick Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I'm up before the girls this morning. They are starting to have lie ins now I'm amazed I am awake, next doors dog was barking until 1am Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 How annoying!! - I'm surprised you're awake as well I can't wait!! I would love to lie-in 'til mid morning but my body clock doesn't work that way. I quite like being up early, even on holiday - perhaps I should say 'especially on holiday' Me too - when we went to Devon in October I loved being up before anybody else and watching the sun rise over the rolling hills, it was very cold though, but special just being on my own. We will be in a cottage, one of a stretch of four cottages, spread out - looking straight out on to the sea and a very quiet beach. Just a 20 second walk onto the beach.......we're looking forward to blowing the cobwebs away...... and watching the sunsets.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lesley Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 I've had a lie-in Although we were kept awake until the early hours in a hotel just outside Blackpool, we slept until 7.08 Moving on to Anglesey this morning ..........I'm hoping for quieter nights I'm making the most of the hotel broadband - I will be using the dongle and dial-up via mobile from now on.
