Nickie at Typecast has tagged me in a Grumpy meme where I have to list seven things that have made me mad recently! Not hard for me, let me tell you! And no arguing at the back!!
1. I’ll start with the internet…..grrrr. We have always had a dodgy connection, we live a long way from the exchange. Saturday afternoon, connection was dead! Fantastic!!! How the hell was I going to get through another dull Saturday night without Twitter? Luckily, it miraculously connected again, in time for me to have some adult company via Twitter. All week, it has been the same, connection happens about 9am, then goes again about 3.30pm to then reconnect at about 10pm. Very strange and if I didn’t know better I’d think that someone was playing games with us.
2. I’m tired…really tired and that makes me very grumpy. I’ve no idea why I feel so tired as I’ve been going to bed earlier than usual due to the lack of internet.
3. Weight….I’ve gained weight so I’m feeling very fed up about that and have no clothes at all! Hear me? None at all!!
4. Ants….arghhhh, we’ve got ants. Gigi, tweeted a link about trying cinnamon as ants don’t like them. They’re clever little things though, they just bypass it and home in on the one tiny crumb that got left behind. So, I have cinnamon everywhere, on the floors, the worktops, in the dishwasher….
5. Chocolate! I’m grumpy that because of the weight gain I can’t eat chocolate…*sob* it’s not fair!!
6. Parents parking on yellow zig zag lines outside the school, that really annoys me. I’ve ranted about it before. It’s unnecessary and dangerous.
7. This is a big grumble and moan…lazy teenagers…..Who says boys can’t empty the dishwasher? Who says that they can’t put the rubbish out? Who thinks it’s a good idea to leave a dirty plate on the side ( because the dishwasher needs emptying) when we have an ant problem? Arghhhh….
Pheeewww…I feel better for getting those things off my chest.
I pass the baton on to-

I’m barely keeping my lips above water with the end of year school stuff, but I really wanted to take time to say that when I lived in Florida the common treatment for ants was to use bathroom sealant – pretty much every where! Of course it was easier because most houses in Florida have no carpet so putting sealant around the edge of every room was relatively simple, but you could think about it for windows etc.

Thank you Gigi, will have a look at the link now. X
Feels good doesn’t it. The grumpy meme rocks.
The ants sound like a nightmare. Can pest control do anything?

Yes a nightmare….killed so many today. Not sure how much it costs…will look into it.
