Question Time

Now I don’t want to speak too soon but I have only found one ant this lunchtime, so hopefully we are killing the little sh*ts off.


Yesterday early evening was awful, as I was on the phone to nagnagnag on his way home from work and I opened Dog’s food bag (we keep his dry food in a cool bag) to find ants crawling all over it!!! UGH! and also EEEEEEEEEEEEEK! There I was thinking that all this time I kept his food in there I was not only protecting it from heat and sunlight, but also nasties and the ants had gone in and were feasting away! I was so upset. When nagnagnag got home we also found them under things in the living room, so you’d pick something up off the floor and the floor would be moving in the shape of whatever you picked up, it stressed us out no end, so nagnagnag (who had already done good job of a big spring clean last weekend) bleached all surfaces in the kitchen and we safely put Dog upstairs (cordoned him off with a clothes horse, he wasn’t too happy but I think he knew we were trying to protect him) and put down fresh poison nags had brought home with him in all the places we could see the little buggers.


Later on I calmed down with a lovely phone call from Artmeliana and we put the world to rights for an hour and a half )


Today seems much quieter in ant town so I am hoping the poison’s doing to do the trick finally and that we don’t find them elsewhere. Thanks for all your hints and tips, they were all super and much appreciated. Just to give some hints and tips back we used Nippon Ant Bait, it comes in a tube and they adore the sticky goo and take it back to the nest and kill all the other ants with it. If it's not out of date it works very fast ;o)


Anyway, change of subject, isn’t it a beautiful day? Anyone got anything fab planned for this weekend (in the hope it stays fab weather wise).


Also I’ve been girly and thinking about a colour scheme (but not necessarily this design of card***) for our wedding, nags and I had tentatively thought of this one (see below) of chocolate brown and pink, what do you think, tasteful? Tacky? Terrific? Toilet Duck? Tell me/show me what you prefer (but be gentle cos I quite like it )




***and we are obviously not Megan and Cameron, whoever they are ;o)

I'm not keen. Sorry. I'd go for pastels.


(11.5.06 13:36)
I think you should go for a green theme. Definitely.


(11.5.06 13:37)
Oink: Ah yes, pastel is a popular choice I must admit, but having worn a lot of pastel in the 80's (I'm so old ;o) I can't put it on without thinking of the box pleat skirts and shoulder padded jackets I used to wear, always in pastel tones, but ta lots for the idea, it's good to hear and one to still think about if I can get over my 80's phobia ) Hope you are going to be having a cool weekend )


(11.5.06 13:38)
Mr Frog: But it's not easy being green ;o) Oh, have you checked your email me dearie? xxxx


(11.5.06 13:51)
posion onlykills a few of them, I live in the countyside, I have seen my fare share of ants...little buggars...
-try spraying pepper spray on your foundations..outside ur house...or get some chalk and draw a line around your house. Ants can not walk over chalk. After when you find the little nest u can either boil some water and pour it down killing the top layers of the next or soak it in gas and burn em(thats my fave.)
but we find spraying the house every few days with pepperspray keeps em away


(11.5.06 13:52)
and I like this color scheme, its different!


(11.5.06 13:57)
Jiali: This poison doesn't actually kill the ants that eat it straight away, it keeps them alive long enough to go feed the grubs and queen with the poison they have gathered and kills them too so it does away with the whole nest, it's nasty but necessary to be rid of the evil little crawlies ;o) I can't spray the house with Dog about unfortunately, and I did try looking for the nest but couldn’t find it anywhere, they had this one well hidden this year because usually I do the whole boiling water thing on the nest too, but they have it stashed away somewhere sneaky, so the poison should do the trick, fingers crossed ;o) Thanks for the input on the colour scheme too hon )

So that’s one vote for pastel, one for green and one for our pink and choccie brown ;o)


(11.5.06 14:07)
I've not checked my home email for a few days. Have you sent me something. Is it money? Is it rude?


(11.5.06 14:11)
I like the pink/brown as it is different from the usual wishy-washy hues that abound in Wedding Stationery tomes. And, as a plus, you'll never see an ant wearing pink/brown!!!
Wait a minute, do I mean that if you wear pink/brown you'll never see an ant, or do I mean that ants don't go for such shades?
:-)


(11.5.06 14:17)
Ahem, green! Lets have a bit more support for the green here.


(11.5.06 14:25)
yo diva...err ants galore i see..sorry didnt read the previous post but glad to see ur problems are sorted...ants not as bad as lizards..those buggers bloody just run and regenerate limbs!!:-) like the wedding invite - looks good..ehmm cheers to megan and cameron 2!:-)


(11.5.06 14:47)
ooh i like pink and choccie.. the chocolate on that looks maroon not brown at all. But i am thinking that maroon or deep red with pink would also be very nice.
Dammit those ants get everywhere


(11.5.06 14:53)
I don't really have much planned for the weekend. I'd like to change that!

Im off to Birmingham on Saturday.. Its good but i have to meet up with the ex.. eeeek


(11.5.06 15:06)
Mr Frog: It's quite important and sadly it's not rude, I hope you will still go and look at it though ) and as compensation for there being no rudeness in the emails here's some arsebiscuits ;o) xxx



aaronette: Yay for another vote for pink and brown, and yay for the fact it might keep the ants away! The ones in the house have stripy bums of yellow and black so that's a combination I won't be using, especially as people will think we've been sponsored by Morrisons ;o)

spaadic: Ta for invite vote and yes an infestation of lizards would have had me packing! (and congrats to Megan and Cameron too LOL ;o)

sunshinechick: Yes it does look quite maroon, you are right! I would choose a better deep choccie though, and the deep red sounds nice too ) xxxx

nagnagnag: We're off in to town on Saturday, ummmmm, apart from that I dunno. Maybe if the weather is nice we could take a picnic to Bakewell and take Dog for a walk along the river again?
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(11.5.06 15:07)
sunshine: Oh I say how come you are meeting up with the ex? xxxxx


(11.5.06 15:15)
Can you not big me up a bit more. I was enjoying the anticipation.


(11.5.06 15:20)
I have to get my stuff from him.. eeek.. He has had it for like nearly 2 years and i want it back *stamps foot*.. Its okay though as i am just passing throug and cant be there long.


(11.5.06 16:09)
Mr Frog: Big you up in what way? Do you need a cheer or something? *gets out nagnagnag’s pompoms and cheerleader outfit just in case* It’s an exclusive email you know, not everyone had one ;o) xxx

Sunshine: Ahhh, I see and damn right too! Get that stuff back girlie! ;o) xxxxxxx

UPDATE: so far it's one vote for pastel, still one for green (sorry Mr Frog ;o) and four for choccie and pink D




(11.5.06 16:48)
I've got your email but I won't reply to it unless you select green as the colour of choice.

And yes I'm being a particularly miserable git today.


(11.5.06 16:51)
I love choclate brown and pink, I wear it all the time and I wear it on my girls, it is super cute. I don't know if you guys get the t.v show the bachelor over their but the only couple that actually ever worked out got married in this super duper fancy wedding and they had chocolate brown and pink and it was absolutley BEAUTIFUL. The bridesmaids worke pink dresses with a chocolate brown sash, and there were big bows with pink and chocolate brown everywhere. It was amazing. If I had my time back I would ditch the pastals that I had and do the chocolate.
ahh, I am feeling all "wedding-ish" now...do you need a wedding planner?
;o)


(11.5.06 16:53)
Diva - That natter on the phone made my day and a half!
Add another vote for your scheme because...you're the chocolate, and nags is the pink :P
.
Nags - Bakewell, is that where all the tarts come from???


(11.5.06 17:20)
Mr Frog: LOL! Ok, ok I promise will have a large amount of green somewhere at the wedding, how's that for a compromise to get a reply from you and your indoors? ;o) xxx

youngmummy: LOL, Having you as wedding planner sounds great, but I'd only be able to pay you in cakes! LOL ;o) Hurrah another vote for choccie brown and pink D xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Arty: Oooh, it was a good convo wasn't it? ) LOL I'm choccie and nags is pink - YES! LOLOLOLOL!
If I was being mean I'd say on Saturday night most of the tarts are in Derby town centre trying to get in to the nightclubs, but that would be VERY mean of me and only said because there is a possibilty that an ex or two of nags might be amoung them ;o)*chuckle* xoxoxoxox

Yes nagnagnag, I know Bakewell Pudding comes from Bakewell but do they have anything to do with the actual tart? I love all the history of Derbyshire that you know, I hope you'll give me another tour at the weekend, it's such fascinating stuff! D

Beautiful colours hon! you GO FOR IT!!


(11.5.06 18:52)
I hope the evil ants go away...


(11.5.06 19:42)
Ick nasty ants.

Am liking the brown and pink..either that or maybe purple and silver or purple and turquoise but then they may just be the colours suited for kitchens?

Xx


(11.5.06 20:55)
I love it!


(11.5.06 21:32)
OK, I'll reply....


(12.5.06 12:40)
The colour of the gloves holding the arse biscuits is quite splendid. It's almost the same as the colour of Mrs R's wedding dress when we tied the knot.


(12.5.06 13:01)
Reptar - that's the kind of thing I would have expected Purple Flip-Flop to say.


Panda_eyed / Website (12.5.06 14:08)
Hi there, I know I'm a bit late but choccy brown and pink are delicious colours! I've been reading your blog for a while now, and love the way you tell a story so well. You always bring a smile to my day! You and Nags are such a lovely couple! xx

amycady: Another vote - woohoo! What funky kitchen style you have Miss Foxy! ) xxxxxxxxxx

Sined: Thanks you sweetie and hurrah! )

Reptar: How decadent and sumptuous, Mrs R's dress sounds fab! )

(12.5.06 20:07)
no problem Diva I accept cash, check, master card, visa, amex, chocolate and vanilla cakes as well of cup cakes of any flavor ;o)


(14.5.06 19:32)
I think the design you showed is pretty cool. I hope the plague of ants ends soon!

vuitton handbags we need to check the material and the stitching of the louis vuitton for sale . If the finish details are far from a thousand-dollar worth of bag, it is not the real thing. In fact there are still many other very useful methods to Damier Geant Canvas an authentic one from a low quality Damier Graphite Canvas . We just need to be careful and serious when decide to pay for one.
