also a blue spray can we sprayed under the bed and behind the curtains worked very well
-
Thanks Zoe - I prefer to buy there.
-
Thanks Helen.

Bevmandy, they are quite lightweight any way - I usually take mine back each year with refills.
We use the liquid ones which save you putting tablets in daily.
I always use two in a studio apartment room and we never get bitten at night!!
They are definitely much more expensive in the resort these days, but all supermarkets, sell the full range and refills!
GOOD TIP.
Find an old disposed of phone card or take something similar with you.
Cut it to the same shape or size as the one by the door that turns on your electricity, (if fitted obviously).
When you go out at night - plug in the home-made plastic card and your electricity will stay on all evening,
thereby powering your Mozzie killer plug-in!! (also good for recharging your camera / phone batteries etc.).
when you return, no mozzies flying around!!
Remove in the morning so the maid does'nt spot it, (as they like to save on electricity while you are out), repeat daily!!
-
Cheers for that..... we have a plug-in unit but a bit old now so could do with renewing it...
-
Boots Chemists are good value!!
-
Bought ours from Matalan....Jungle Formula..... Lot cheaper than Boots, Asda, Superdrug etc!
-
Didya see the paper reports recently that anything with DEET in it(Jungle?) should be avoided as it causes cancer???
-
To read all these reports everything gives you cancer. Then again some reports say eating 5 fruit and veg a day protect from cancer. Does one outweigh the other! Then again stay out of the sun! Not saying all these experts are wrong as I am only expert in my own field but if you worried over every report you'd worry yourself into an early grave!
Regards Tony's last post........... Phone Cards..... Try the phone kiosk outside Sophias Gift Shop.... Always a good supply of used phone cards there! ............Any Scots comments will be treated in the way I deem fitting!!!
-
I bet you check them all Don to see if any minutes left on the cards lol!!!!!!
Good tip from Tony though, although in Teresa the electricity is not worked that way but just simply by switching on or off. ::)
-
Jules you got it right!! LOL
PS. Can you confirm that "LOL" means Laugh out loud -
only Linda thinks I am saying ''Lots of Love'' to Don every 5 minutes!! LOL!!!
She used to write it on the back of envelopes!! I said this is 2009 and things have changed!!

Teresas still uses little children on the treadmill!
-
Lol can be "Lots of Love" or "Laugh out Loud" -

Tony - is the electricity tip for the Thomas Bay?
-
We bought plug-ins from the supermarket at the bottom of the hill (not Kathys) reasonably cheap, and I think a box of 8 or 10 slip in's were about 1.40 euro
-
Bevmandy Aspa supermarket has a good range of plug ins and tablets which is just down the road from Olga apts.
-
Thanks Colin - I hear the mossies are rife at the mo and we go on the 4th Sept so will definately need these..
-
we go on the 4th Sept
Oh so do we!!
-
Tony - is the electricity tip for the Thomas Bay?
Definitely, - and also in most places now days!! In some rooms a standard phone card will slip straight in
in some - you have to cut out two thin slots, in the Theodosia I had to cut a small bit off the side of the card!
take a small pair of scissors in your main case!

We were given some Mosi Guard spray by a kind person who was going home, he said it was Deet, but no where on the bottle could I see any mention of Deet, anyway, it was good stuff and kept the mozzies at bay, I used it on my legs, when I went out at night....it worked! it doesn't smell too good, but the mozzies were that bad I didn't care! when it ran out we went and bought some more ASAP it cost about €8, but I feel that was a small price to pay to be free of mozzie bites
-
Yes Colin...... I know you never met anyone because of the smell !!! Small price to pay !!! To an Aberdonian............................. RESULT!!!!
-
Thanks for that Kemo ::)
-
I think that Don used "Agent Orange" - if you look at his Tan!!
