Whilst working at the wildlife trust I bumped into my fear on numerous occasions. Once I was judging a school Eco Award and some stupid animal man took one out of a box, I just legged it, I think everyone thought Id eaten a dodgy curry the speed I left that room at. I also spotted one under my car and had to stay in a cafe for about 2 hours before it went away. All the way home I kept imagining it had gone into the engine and was waiting to pounce. Although Im an avid gardner I cannot keep a compost heap for obvious reasons. Further more there are whole sections of films I have never seen. A girl at work offered to desensitise me as she had two but I just couldnt even think about it. The funny thing is I found out my dad was just as scared of them after he died but i never knew while he was alive. OL I can really understand the tortoise thing and clowns is quite a common one, but Ive never heard of anyone with a phobia of cheesecake, it must be the consistency I imagine.
Philippa, when we went to Sanibel Island a couple of years ago 'they' were nesting, our friends and my OH tried to see them at night but I was terrified even in the day in case they came out. I wouldn't harm one (I couldn't get near it if I wanted to) but urghhhhh
I cant even stand cheesecake near me, it makes me want to throw up LOL....I suppose I am officially weird
I'm with you on the piccalilli Lily Also shaving foam, ughh and as a child couldn't stand the feel of that foam used for seat pads with the blue,green and yellow mix, yuck

I've been on Dove, never grown cabbages but they look fab so I've just said that, can't give any advice as not 'qualified' enough
I feel so guilty not walking the dogs, OH has gone on his own as both boys out with friends

Thanks OL
I think that he's just never really looked at cabbages before 
OH is the fruit & veg manager at the farm shop - he's said he'd be very pleased with a consignment of those cabbages so I've posted that
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
OL, if it wasn't so painful, I'd send you to the naughty step
Hate spiders with a passion, and snakes eeeeeekkkkk.
The thought of piccalilli makes me want to be sick......always thought a jar of it looked just that anyway
