thank you for your email

regarding my ant order. Before I go ahead and purchase the insurance for an extra £2, please can you clarify what exactly the ant insurance covers? For instance:

1. Are you expecting me to take the ant to a vet to find out what is wrong should they seem lifeless? I am not sure my local vet has an ant specialist?

2. You mention about needing insurance for hot or cold periods. Can you provide me with the temperature tolerances for the ants?

3. Do ants really get lost in the post? Cant you just emply an ant eater to track their pheromones or something?

Thanks in advance.

Anxious future ant farm owner (well, not actualy owner, more the caretaker).

Buy ants

Ok, boy got an ant farm for his bday as one of his presents. Sat him down for a chat, does he want ant farm (meanwhile praying he says no!), looks up at me with big eyes and nods. Make him repeat mantra of "I will not let them loose inside the house" 3 times before I buy ants online. Surely one of my more bizaare purchases.

So, the question is, whats been your most bizaare online purchase?

Can you tell

that I have gone back to work yet? March there are loads a posts, April, not so much!

Work good, am feeling fit and healthy. Have taken up Bikram yoga, am marginally addicted to it, feel fantastic after every class, B is going to come along with me as she lives nearby. I dont exactly look glam after a class (think dragged through several hedgerows backwords and sideways) but after every class I feel the need to do another class almost immediately. Plus I am burning about 1000 calories. I will save the story of the sweaty man in speedos for another time. Mental note.

Kids really good, they are mischievous in ways I cannot begin to explain. We were at a soft play today and they put plastic balls down their tops as boobies. I have some excellent pics of the boy doing a dolly parton. Mental note for when he brings his first girlfriend home.....

E, you will be pleased to know storage is finished, had a brutal clear out. Pic attached.

Had a brilliant time with K on my last weekend before work, we had a very sociable afternoon which then spilled over into the pub, poor babysitter probably wanted to run away when faced with two merry ladies and kids high on easter eggs.

We had our weekend away, was good, am suitably refreshed. Had a wicked weeekend with E and went to Henley where we unashamedly went through half the menu at Maison Blanc pattisserie. Scrummy.

Er, think thats mostly it. S had a fantastic time at LM and M wedding.
