this stopped me in my tracks today


the amount of ducks and geese that are now in the lake at Queens Park (park) i've never seen as many up there
:eek:
there must have been at least 50/60 of them

and there is my very own little swan in the white coat ;)

Please don't kill spiders, if we didn't have them we'd be overrun with flies. Spiders won't run at you to attack you, to them you're so big as to be unidentifiable, just leave 'em alone and let them get on with their insecticide duties. Oh, but don't let one actually touch me. ;)

2 things stopped me in my tracks today, the usual idiots pulling out in front of my 2 ton van making it difficult to stop in time to avoid them, and 4 calls to boiler breakdowns at teatime... so see ya later, haha.

eww, i hate spiders!!, there was one in my bedroom the other night, big hairy git it was:eek:, running across me rug:(, thankfully the other half caught it and chucked it out the window!!

Im wondering now where the rest of the family is:o

Re: What Stopped You In Your Tracks Today?
 

And you slept in the room knowing there could be more of them. No way would I do that unless my other half is here. Unfortunately he works in Yorkshire during the week and the cat & rat (sorry dog) are useless at protecting me from the horrible things.

I'd rather put up with flies. At least I could have a laugh watching the rat go barmy jumping up to catch them.

What stopped me in my tracks today, easy, a car crashing in to a bridge, we were stuck on the track near Rugeley for 20 minutes :D

Spiders? Cute little things. What stopped me in my tracks last night while taking the dogs for a tour was a large and smelly skunk ... the dogs of course wanted to chase it and kill it, but I convinced them, with much tugging, that the better part of valour was heading for home. Maybe spiders are part of a skunk's diet; if anyone afraid of spiders would like a free skunk, maybe I could find a way of sending some over there.:alright:

My nearly 3yr old son was tapping his feet on the floor so I asked him what he was doing and he replied “dogging” followed by “what is dogging Mummy?” :eek: (if you don't know - please do not google it). I told him that it meant lots of people all taking their dogs out at the same time.

No idea where that came from - that’s nurseries for ya!

my doctor came to me on a house visit yesterday .......wow that stopped me & my astonished mates in our tracks ....................got a chest infection & when coughing very bad pains in chest & back which meant having to hold my "chests" whilst coughing i can't drive my car doing that so thought try for a home visit.

Re: What Stopped You In Your Tracks Today?
 

as per post above i can only think the reason i did get the home visit was the fact that i clobbered to death a gigantic spider in my bedroom that morning..........didn't fancy chocking on a spider as well as the "muck" im coughing up.

You cant beat a good lie to your kids.
Next time you are in the park your lad will hopefully shout across to you

"look Mum at all those people dogging"

Then you will wish you had told him it is a naughty word and he should not use it. :D:D:D

By the way telling people not to search dogging has just made all those that do not know go and look.
