Shiny new thread.

Ouch, that sounds awful Hope she is OK.
I think it will really affect him too, I bet he feels horrible after that.

Fleas OMG don't mention them, we have 2 cats covered in the effers (despite vet's pills) etc. I'm covered in bites trying to treat them o!!! Aaaargh

Indorex @ppeatfruit. In bulk.

We're using a specific powder, dioxide sillicium that breaks their legs!!, It does work but a soon as our ex stray goes into the garden all night he comes back with them! Bless his large persian paws!!

I know your imaginary cat has fleas !!!!! Thank you for your suggestion I try to be non toxic.

Make sure you treat your house too! Hoover every day and hot wash all soft furnishings! Horrid things, been there and completely understand your pain hope they're gone soon!

Thank you for your suggestion I try to be non toxic.

Laudable. But I'd be prepared to make an exception for fleas. The bastards. (Even the imaginary ones...)

I agree, we generally try to be a 'natural household' (cringed a bit when I typed that), but we made the exception for fleas. They get everywhere and it's a nightmare if you don't treat the house.

Yes I'm treating the house with Pyrethrum spray which does work, though it is 'natural', because it's been a long time since we've had an infestation. Before the stray turned up.

I hope Dianne is ok BUT they shouldn't be doing lifts imo the celebs are not professional dancers they have been dancing 6ish weeks doing silly lifts is just showboating and dangerous !

Yes, the lifts used to be more "swing them round in a circle with their feet off the floor" type thing. Any big lifts were always mentioned as being more dangerous. Now they're expected to have them over their heads without any mention made of it being difficult and potentially dangerous.

I agree about the lifts. mike looked like he was going to have a heart attack last week swinging katya about!

Len wouldn't be putting up with lifting and flinging about would he ?

No, he would NOT, @Mrsjayy!

Dd is working very hard on our behalf, her friend is a producer again on strictly this year so far the the news is David James is becoming very friendly with his dance partner🕵️‍♂️

Well, that romance is about to be cut tragically short, isn't it?

David James is becoming very friendly with his dance partner

I did wonder if they would hit it off!
Does he have bad teeth though? I have a feeling he does and that would put me off. She's stunning.

The judges should make it very clear that lifts can be dangerous, so true Mrsjayy and Horehound* (especially as a lot of children watch SCD) I hope Dianne is ok.

Just seen that Gemma & Gorka have set up their own YouTube channel 'Gem & Gorka', asking people to subscribe. Seems like they are branching out into 'vlogging'

Marking place in preparation for this evening's antics

Oh no I love Gemma and Gorka but nonono to parent blogging

Would Gorka be blogging with his shirt on or off? Asking for a friend.

I imagine we might see some in the halfbuff Gorka probably cuddiling the baby

I couldn't stick Len as a judge but did agree with him that I want to see dancing and not faffing about.

I'm not sure it'll be parent blogging, it might be more work out stuff
