Anyone else suffering from...

[Raffles]

...insect bites. I woke up this morning with one eye nearly closed and a forehead that resembled Jaws in the Bond films. Plus later discovered red and swellings all over my body. Not painful but a little disconcerting.

I'm surrounded by trees and bushes, and have been sitting out, enjoying the weather, and the knats and flying 'kamikaze pilots' are always a problem... but have the little bast*rds had there way with me for a free feed.

Nope, I've just been suffering from a badly bruised shin due to a certain 23kg dog that's acting like a young puppy

Seriously though Raffles if you have been bitten that badly, go & see your GP o at least your local pharmacist

Seen a few of these nasty things hanging around over the last few days. Not been bitten myself, apparently my blood isn't sweet (whatever that means) . On the other hand, I've probably removed 15 to 20 spiders from the house already this week .

Nah... it's given me ripples that I never knew I had... quite like it.

Glad to hear Benito is keeping you on your toes!

I love discovering them, and give them all names before I 'politely' show them the door... would never hurt them.

Does using a vacuum cleaner on them count as not hurting them? 
Can't stand spiders, generally.

I'm terrified of spiders myself to be honest! Couldn't kill one though. Which means I have to escort them outside, otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep, knowing one was scuttling around ... eww

I was just going to bed, now I'm up with the torch looking for anything moving in the bedroom... shame it's not Cheryl (what's her name)

I also couldn't kill them.... I just escort them to a 'better life' inside the vacuum cleaner
