No more insects.....please

 Evening


man it is hot -_______-

So last night when we went to bed I said to Jack "don't wake me up for nothing"

at 6:30am "Jo!!" "yeah?...." "nevermind, thought it was school"

I was raging XD I needed a wee now I had been rudely woken cus Jack was in a panic thinking we had over slept on a school morning. I climbed back into bed after I went for a wee and said

"I swear to god Jack if I dont get back to sleep now I will literally castrate you"

Luckily we both fell asleep til around 8am! So he got to keep his balls......for now.....

We got up as we was already warm!

As I went to see Oz I noticed ants crawling around the cracks in the brickwork underneath the living room window about 50cm from the window on the outside. I decided to show Jack, he was not impressed but we were planning on filling in those gaps in the holidays anyway. Its just over the years houses move and mortar and brick separate sometimes.

We got ready to go out and then went out around 9:15am


We had a walk through a park which had plenty of shade.

We did a few charity shops which were naff to be honest. Then we did Wilkos where Jack brought them out of ant poison, I just let him get on with it XD

We then walked down to Pudding Pantry and got Ice cream!!!! I had 2 scoops of oreo and Jack had melon sorbet. Mine was soooooooooooo good I could have had hooked to my veins 

We ate them in the shade and then walked through the shade back to the car.

We got home and rested. I rested on the bed then had lunch, then did my chores which was cleaning Oz out and cleaning the bathroom. Jack went straight out to gas the ants with poison


I want to say that from waking up til 4pm we kept finding spiders. In total today Jack has hovered up 11 spiders....we get 2 a day which is normal every day for us here but 11 is taking the pee. 8 of them were huge buggers.

Jack had been gaming and resting most of the afternoon. To be honest there wasnt an awful lot else you could do as it was so damn hot. I watched some youtube videos then did a bit of drawing but it was so hot. I had a shower to cool myself off

I decided to bake biscuits as the oven needed to be on for dinner anyway >< 

I was making dinner and just as I was about to serve it up did we realise we had 15+ flying ants on the INSIDE of our patio door....sweet mother of god what was going off!? Jack discovered that the hole on the outside of the house connects with a hole behind the radiator in the living room.  So we never knew it was there....As Jack had earlier gased the outside of the ants hole they had decided to evacuate through the inside hole of the house!!!

we had ants all over the carpet, wall, radiator, sofa...it was like an actual nightmare. There was flying ants everywhere. So he hovered up everything and I went round killing flying ants. Mayhem. My dinner was over cooking and burning at the point T^T

Jack laid poison out and gased them as well. Thank god he had brought what he did. life saver.

He said "Oz can't come in here tonight tho" but I dont think i will bring him anyway as its far to warm in that living room for him


I didnt fancy eating in the living room as I felt too on edge and itchy over the whole thing so we took the picnic blanket outside and ate outside with Ozwald who loved the company ^^

Jack went inside after dinner to assess the ant situation. He said "cant see any thats actually alive"

I came inside just on my laptop as I can not face going in that living room right now!

since then I have killed a a big fly and a wasp

Jack kindly sanded down the porch door for me so I can start painting that tomorrow :D

Dont think we are sitting in the lounge tonight, leaving the poison over night and see what its like in the morning. Tomorrow Jack is sealing the hole up. It was awful

truly insect genocide happened in this house today

1 fly

1 wasp

11 spiders

30+ flying ants

100s ants

I have had enough of insects today. No more please.


I am tired and hot. We will sit outside with Oz tonight then go to bed

my morning with Jack was nice tho, we both enjoyed that and needed it


tomorrow

just got food shop and soup to make I can spend the rest of the day painting my door!
