The battery I think last 20 minutes, just enough to do my back lawn and half the front
Oh poooo Meg
That's just plain horrible of them.
Maybe they'll 'get their reward in heaven'

Unfortunately there were no no vacancies for shower attendants for the Ladies Beach Volleyball Teams.

Some of us, however, think that it's nice to share with others how their life is maybe transformed by helping others. We like to share our thoughts, that's part of being on an open forum. Perhaps, maybe, it might inspire others to rally round and think, you know what, Harry next door might need a hand with his shopping, I'll go and ask.
A simple deed, but yet, one worthy of praise to help ones neighbour / friend.

Perhaps you should think again before rebuffing forum members for their actions.

OK

This MIGHT be it ... although it looked quite different when viewed through the polythene. Couldn't see so much black on it.

It is small and THIN.

Rachel, you ought to start a "Guess the Insect" thread in the pets column. I bet someone could identify it for you.
