    Every time me or my dad buys mam flowers she like takes a big sniff and says something like ahhh lovely and I’m always confused  ??? Are ye smelling something that I can’t smell🤣

    @Liam it's funny, my partner knows I don't like the smell of flowers especially lilies - I don't think he much likes them either. He buys me chocolate instead aha. 

    My mum is the same. She seems to love the smell of flowers.

    Im not a massive fan of flowery scents but lavender is quite a nice one, my mum always had lavender stuff so I guess I grew up to like it aha

    @Past User I wish my house was always cold! It's easier to warm up than to cool down imo. I'm so jealous. Me and @Liam will swap with you!

    @Starlight I didn't quite register that it was after midnight until a couple of minutes ago. At least I don't have to be up early tomorrow. What are you doing tomorrow?

    I'll be back in a bit gonna give my friend a call

    Goodnight @Starlight take care ❤️
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,971 Supreme Poster
    @Starlight they're horrid at night! Could happily never see one again!

    Wasps are worse though especially in the late summer/early autumn. I hate sitting outside because of them at those times of year.

    I had a fly wake me up this morning. It was just buzzing around the room and was so annoying. My sister must have trapped it in the room when she went downstairs. 

    @independent_ Wasps are not nice. I used to be fine with them until one got stuck in my hair and stung my head. 
  • Past UserPast User Posts: 1,997 Extreme Poster
    @EGM I had a wasp sting me once whilst I was fast asleep! They’re evil lol
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 282 The Mix Regular
    @Liam Yes very evil
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,971 Supreme Poster
    @EGM that actually happened to me the other week, a wasp got stuck in my hair, thankfully I flicked it out and it didn't sting me. 

    @Liam they always choose to sting at the worst times. I once got stung while I was in the shower haha. And another time I got stung on a bus.

    @Past User I'm always too warm so I don't think it'd be something I'd need aha. I'm one of those people who's always too warm even in cold rooms. haha.

    @independent_ There should be an electric blanket where you can adjust the temperature to whatever you want. That way you can be cooled when too hot and warmed when too cold. 
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,971 Supreme Poster
    @EGM that’s a brilliant idea!! A cold electric blanket for someone who’s always too hot like me. Shame they don’t make this (yet).

    @independent_ I'm sure it must exist somewhere
  • independent_independent_ Community Connector Posts: 9,971 Supreme Poster
    @EGM I need to google this now. This is the sort of thing I get into googling at this time haha.
