I mean, how should one respond to that sort of unexpected outburst?

She urged me to look in the mirror, which I did, and I have what looks like German measles spots all over my arse cheeks, exactly where my shreddies would be. No idea what it might be, doesn't itch or anything. Must be 'contact' related but no change in washing powder or owt.

Anyhow, a photo is available if anybody wants to volunteer a diagnosis. :lol:
Shreddies might not have rinsed properly? Change in formulation of washing powder/liquid?

It does sound like a contact dermatitis.

I'd take the lot and put them on a rinse and spin cycle. (+ change to non-bio if you're using a bio product).

My mum once told me to put a clean pair of socks and pants on every day, but by the end of the second week I couldn't get my trousers or shoes on. :roll:

Just about to leave home to go see my friends that asked me to cat sit when I got a phone call - cat badly injured (possibly off road vehicle or cows trampling it) and they were sat at the vets with it, not much hope :( :(

20 mins later, no more cat :( :(


So so gutted for them. My friend absolutely loves cats (I think his wife does too, but Viv is the one that finds and rescues them!) and he rescued this little soandso from a ditch at about 6 weeks old. Midnite (kitten!) had been abandoned, Viv heard his cries whilst out cycling and rescued him and a brother (the brother didn't survive) and took him home tucked inside his cycle top!! He'd decided that Midnite would be his last cat and would outlive him. So Viv is devastated - moreso because he rescued Midnite from certain death, so felt closer to him than previous moggies

I know many people feel that cats aren't deserving of sadness when they go, but for some of us, they are part of the family as much as other peoples' dogs are. I had only met Midnite the once, but he was proper cuddly. So, I'm pretty sad, but more sad for Viv and Ann :( :(


So, I'm now house sitting from Weds night. They've been kind enough to let me stay anyway and use the car still - I am driving them to the airport and collecting them when they come back! But I have use of a big kitchen table to do some of the sewing things I want to do - just have no kitten to snuggle with in the evenings :( :(

A neighbour knocked on my door, she was walking her dog and there was a dead cat up the lane beside my house, did I know who it belonged to? The cat had been hiding in the grass when a tractor with a hedge cutter came down the lane. Rather than scarper the cat had ducked, just not low enough. I did know who it belonged to and broke the bad news.

Perhaps as a counterpart to Docca's new build thread.

Just finished this. It’s my mate's place in France, after 20 months of work.

He moved in a couple of weeks ago, so has only just needed to start paying for that :)

Although temps out there right now are mid to high 20s!
