Bloody Bastard Biting Bugs

How do they do it? We ate in the garden last night, so I tucked my trousers into socks, and I wore pjs and slept under a light blanket. Not a millimetre of skin was exposed. So why do I have a bite on my thigh? How do the BBBBs get me every single time?

It's the same with me! I have an allotment and no matter how much I cover up, I get bitten by things. I swear that the bugs see me coming through the gates and say, "Oh good, lunch has arrived!"

Oh I know, absolute 'mare. If it helps I swear by Avon's Skin so Soft dry oil spray as a nicer smelling and moisturising repellent. I even bought some for my Dad!

We have the dreaded horseflies here... I caught one biting me THROUGH MY LEGGINGS last year. Horrible little fuckers.

Through clothes must be how they do it.
