    You need some germs to keep your immune system busy fighting baddies and not your body @AuntryRach but I have always told Possum never to put her bag on the floor in public loos and agree, the kitchen worktop is for loads of things but not bags.

    It never fails to surprise me how many of our customers are happy to have crates plonked on their worktops

    No, I don’t have that, he puts the crates on the floor and loads it onto the table, worktop, fridge, cooker anywhere he can find a space.

    I read somewhere she uses her bag for secret signals - like ‘I need to leave’ etc. 

    Quickly back to having a grump - one of my (many) pet hates is people who visit and put their handbag on my kitchen worktop etc. Germs people! 

    They won't disturb your germs don't worry. Or are you worried they'll try to steal them? :o

    Maybe the queen keeps her bag empty and uses it to nick stuff.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    @philippa smith2 I meant she could keep him at telescope distance.

    Having had hygienic parents - both trained as SRNs before going on to other things - I value bugs.  I get food poisoning at the drop of a hat.  OH has a cast iron stomach cos his mum was, shall we say lazy ?, about cleaning.

    Talking about hygiene - I got stung by a stinging nettle just before lunchtime, it got the 1/4 " of exposed skin between glove and fleece (while I was being good and retrieving old beer cans from the road hedge). By 5 pm it was still stinging like crazy despite two applications of antihistamine. In the back of the cupboard I found an old bottle of calamine so whacked that on - then found it was only dated 1996! 23 years old! I haven't expired yet and neither has the sting.

    I put Germolene on stings, plant or insect,  it has an anaesthetic built in.
