50 ways to kill a slug

I discovered the other day that my brother has a book called '50 ways to kill a slug' (don't ask me why a 7 year old would want a book like that, I have a strange family!) so I decided to read it incase I should ever have any slug problems! It's actually a pretty funny book, there are some genius ways of killing those slimy horrible creatures, and some that are just really sick!
Here's a few of my favourites!

Hang them out to dry
A slightly time-consuming but amusing way to dry out slugs.

1. Collect a bucketful of slugs.
2.Wearing rubber gloves, peg each one to your washingline.
3.Watch as they wriggle and sway gently in the breeze and dry out and die in the sun.

Impress them with your treads
This one is only for those with strong stomachs-it may not be the kindest way to send slugs off, but it's very satisfying.

1. Tell your children that you want to give them a biology lesson and get them out into the garden in search of slugs.
2.When they have successfully collected enough of the little beasts, give them a quick talk-dipping into your wealth of knowledge about slugs-then send them to bed.
3.Once they are safely tuckd up, wreak revenge by spreading all those slugs on your driveway and driving back and forth over them in your car.

Get them dead drunk
For those of you whose karma may be rocked by slug-slaying, this is the mthod for you...what nicer way for a slug to go?

1.Fill a shallow bowl with beer (Michelob and Budweiser are thought to have a high success rate) and place it strategically in an area of high slug activity.
2.Wait overnight.
3.Slugs love a slurp of stale beer. Once in it they'll drown.
4.Disposing of the slugged brew can be a messy business. A simple solution is to add it to your compst heap.

So there you go, such a nice book!!

In the country...

I've only been home for 5 days and I'm already getting pretty bored, I don't know how I'm going to survive the whole summer!! It's so quiet compared to Manchester and there's nothing to do!! Obviously that's not entirely true but nothing interesting anyway! I can't believe that until last year I never wanted to live in a city, and thought I'd hate it!
I've also become the automatic babysitter at home again, whenever my parents go out they just assume I'll babysit, it's not always so bad though cos tonight it meant I got to watch Shrek 2! :D Tomorrow we're off to Peterborough for the weekend to go to a christening which will be cool and something to do!!

Freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I've finally finished my first year at uni!! Which is great but also scary cos it's gone so so fast! Had my last exam this morning, if it can be called that-it was 25 multiple choice questions most of which were exactly the same as questions on the past papers, we had an hour to do it in and I finished in about 15 minutes!! They were going to make us stay there for the whole hour but when they realised almost everyone had finished by about half way through they let us go! So yeah, I don't think it went too badly!
I also got my first (very early) birthday card and present today, only 1 month to go!!
