argh. So, I've had an ongoing on/off migraine issue for about a week. This doesn't happen often but it's happened before, I'm blaming the shift in the weather although stress is playing its part too. But, whatever. I feel like I'm doing nothing but guzzle painkillers to keep it under control.

Herein lies the problem. For me it's ibuprofen or nothing because I can't take paracetamol or codeine. To take ibuprofen, I need to eat something. I'm not hungry. My appetite has taken a nosedive probably because of the migraine, but no food, no painkillers. No painkillers, no food. This feels like it should be illegal somehow.
 
Gosh that’s tough Lorcan ! Could you persuade yourself with toast / your favourite snack ? Just something to help ?
Could no food upset your gut ? Hope the migraine goes 🥰
 
I've got a Tesco delivery for tomorrow, but tonight I have dip, I have vanilla ice cream (it's amazing though) and I have Pot Noodles. I'm hungry for precisely none of these, lol, and my digestive system's dodgy at the best of times. Tomorrow's dinner brings salt and pepper crisps, which yes, are bad for me, but they're also easy to eat. I could make some rice up and toss a can of mackerel in but again...not hungry. I drank some orange juice earlier and called that enough.

I definitely don't miss the days this was a regular occurrence :td:
 
Slugs! Urgh! *Shivers in disgust* There's been slug slime on my kitchen counter top and over the bread board every morning for months! :vom: :vom: I have got through a lot of F10. I FINALLY found Mr Slug yesterday morning. Mr Slug was at least half an inch wide by about 4 inches long and was squished in between the wall and my fridge. How he managed to squeeze himself into such a small gap is anybody's guess. He was quickly removed by me with a bit of kitchen roll and put on the grass. And everything was cleaned with F10 again! Then when I went to say goodnight to the piggies there was Master Slug climbing up the inside of the patio door. Needless to say, Master Slug was evicted just like Mr Slug! Why are slugs so slimy?

I really hope you get rid of that migraine Lorcan ! Keep doing what you’re doing and at least a little food will help
- drink lots of water tho 🥰
 
Pepsi and Coke all the way! (seriously the tap water's awful, filtered or otherwise)
 
It's you're common house spider, time of year when they start looking for a place to settle for winter, in you're home is the ideal place, dry and warm, put a glass over it,slip a piece of paper underneath it, put it outside, thank it for visiting you and ask nicely "please don't come back ".

Awww! I let him just sit next to the toilet but when I got up again he seems to of gone, I’m not *too* phased by spiders anymore but this one gave me a scare! Not brave enough to pick him up but I’d never hurt him. Maybe he’s visiting another neighbour now :D x
 
My head hurts and I just had to avert a riot in the goblin room because Camowen fell on top of Bann. :td: Whyyyyy, lads.
 
I’m sorry your head is still bad -
Trust those boys …..always full of mischief 🥰❤️
 
I don't know why they hadn't worked out sooner that they can't both be on the same bed at once, or at least Bann can't be lying on it to eat at the same time Camowen's trying to get his head as far over the bars as possible. And they'll do it again tomorrow, because Goblins. 🤷‍♂️ Now I know how my mum felt...
 
I take back anything I ever said about Comet being naughty at this point, the goblins have surpassed him and then some at this point.

On that note I chucked in some hay earlier and it all landed on top of the log tunnel. Bann ran through the tunnel slightly confused. Camowen pounced on the one tiny bit of hay that landed on the ground like he was in The Land Before Time screaming "I FOUND IT I FOUND IT I FOUND IT". I'm not even sorry :))
 
Just went to look to buy some stuff from Pets at Home and went to the Small Animal Section on their website and this is what was at the top of the section.

Guinea Pig

Guinea pigs are cute and cuddly pets, and can be perfect for younger children. Make sure your Guinea pig has all it needs with the great range of products from Pets at Home

Er..... I think not!

Ser Spider would def win in my case. Either that or I would call on the neighbours to remove him! (but maybe not at 4am!)

In Ser Spider's defence, he clearly waited til he thought I wouldn't see him because I'd been watching TV with the light on. Then I switched it off. THEN he ran across the floor.

Problem was he ran towards my jeans and apparently panicked when I moved the jeans...and then just sat in the middle of the floor. Just sat there. Refused to budge. What gives, Ser Spider?

In other news I've tried using the mouse to pause iplayer multiple times since I woke up and each time I end up clicking the bar instead and losing where I was. FND strikes again.
 
Gosh that’s some early morning stand off Lorcan ….. who was more scared ! My stomach did a somersault thinking about it ! You’ll need a nap later ! 😂
 
I mean, he's disappeared again as of about 4.10 lol. I did manage to grab photos though! Once again on Imgur for @Betsy's benefit lol. Without zoom here, and zoomed in here. Call it what you want but that's no little spider lol.

Thanks @Lorcan I do appreciate you not sharing pictures of your 8 legged house mates on the open forum!
 
Tbh if I could nest them in a reply so they're not automatically showing I would, I know how the forum feels about external images, but I've tried and it doesn't work lol.
 
Orange flowers. I know I'm being ungrateful but I just don't like them and my brother always sends me flowers for my birthday which is very kind of him but they are always orange because that's what you get in September. I usually then give them to my old mum because she loves all flowers. I can't really tell him to stop with the orange flowers because that would be hurtful. So he will be happy to have done a kind thing and my mum will be happy to get flowers, so thats all good. And I will just have to cheer myself up with cake 🤣

Well done for hiding the pics of Ser spider - indeed a big spider 😬
 
Corex, particularly 2mm (couldn't get any 4mm). I wasted a whole afternoon making an insert for Red's cage, it looked awful, the sides kept flopping over. He's back on his plastic sheet and the Corex is dumped in the shed.
 
Bloody fire alarm, again! But if I ever needed proof it was due to a faulty sensor, I got it. I'd been vaping in my room (pretty heavily) went to go get another can of Coke and realised it was very bright because the blinds in the Goblin Room were open. I closed them over, got to the bottom of the stairs, and the alarm at the top of the stairs started screaming.

I originally thought, argh, vaping again? But no. It went off after I closed over the blinds and the landing was therefore much, much darker. That's what set the alarm off. It got "dark".
 
It’s way too sensitive that alarm ! Ridiculous ‘ they’ need to replace it for you !
 
They're stuck on the "well, you vape" argument and I'm bored of having it. My last place had two alarms and I chainsmoked like a chimney in it, and you know what first set it off in that flat? There was a hole in the roof and I got flooded from above. It was never smoking that set it off.
