It did make me smile though (which is due to your telling of it, not the cr*ppy time you've had!)<BR/><BR/>"You can plan to write but you can't plan for life AND husbands are good for more things than lawn mowing and putting out the rubbish" ~ this is my new mantra! <BR/><BR/>Hope your mum is okay,<BR/><BR/>best wishes<BR/>Kate KKate.Kingsleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02382512850730256227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-81434319896122028632007-07-19T13:10:00.000+01:002007-07-19T13:10:00.000+01:00I'm with hestitant scribe on this one.

I leave the spiders to wander around at will so they eat the nasty little moths that seem to have decided to take up permanent residence in my flat. That said I do squeal and run away if they come anywhere near me!<BR/><BR/>Hope your Mum is okay Rowan and I feel for you on the washing machine front. The same thing happened to me a few years ago and it was a total nightmare!CL Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650291635298634215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-54334591664428243712007-07-19T10:00:00.000+01:002007-07-19T10:00:00.000+01:00But... awful though spiders may look, they do eat ...But... awful though spiders may <I>look</I>, they do eat flies, and flies are much much worse because they vomit on your food, or worse, suck your blood.

On a morning where I was having a lie in 'cos I'm feeling a bit grim at the mo (no I'm not pregnant!) - husbands are good for some things you're right - but then I get downstairs and they're watching toy story and have to leave for school in 10 minutes and neither are dressed and packed lunch hasn't been packed...<BR/><BR/>Hope you have a lovely holiday and hope you're mum is ok.<BR/><BR/>HelenxHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13315275929031953790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-80223725189946376912007-07-18T19:50:00.000+01:002007-07-18T19:50:00.000+01:00I am with you 100%.

I am not sure why it works but I think it has something to do with the fact that they have eight armpits - or the equivalent.DOThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719312854612984929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-27472452004041687122007-07-18T18:05:00.000+01:002007-07-18T18:05:00.000+01:00Ha!!

I am getting quite good at being a parent now I think, so some fears can be overcome - but spiders! NEVER. If you were my neighbour I'd have been banging your door down last night to ask you to deal with it. Unfortunately my neighbour is eighty-seven and can't bend down.Rowan Colemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207876813466262196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143694367787566951.post-69367776913478021032007-07-18T17:51:00.000+01:002007-07-18T17:51:00.000+01:00*chuckles*You could probably make another book out...*chuckles*<BR/>You could probably make another book out of the experience.<BR/><BR/>As the most macho woman in a house full of femmes it falls to me to do those tasks you rely on your husband to do.
