    Thanks FG, I know it can't hurt me but I just can't stand the sight of them, when I was little I woke one morning to find a spider curled up in the fold of my ear and now I'm terrified of them image

    Sorry Flumpy I didn't realise you were so afraid.

    Don't worry Kef you weren't to know, I'll just have to get my brave pants on and suck it up the Hoover imageimage

    Be brave Flumpy - be braveimage

    Only just surfaced after my long day yesterday - but still smiling at seeing my babyimage  waiting for the mist to clear here, then gonna get out there and continue with operation tidy-up (sure you're probably all bored to tears with it now, but weekend only gardening takes a long time to accomplish even the basicsimage).

    Love the ignore button - wish there was one so simple and effective for real lifeimage

    So pleased to here your sleeping patterns might be returning to normal Hosta image. Fingers crossedimageimage

    Morning all.

    That's tough, Flumpy... can you spend the day in the garden?  Not guaranteed spider-free but they're easier to get away from out there. But if you need to be indoors, I believe spiders dislike lavender oil, so perhaps you could put a circle of it around your favourite chair and feel safe that way until your hubby returns.

    Great news about the sleep patterns, Hosta!  Sounds as if you've finally cracked it.  Re Reynaud's syndrome:  my current hate is high-speed hand dryers which blow cold air at high speed over my wet hands.  I now carry kitchen roll around with me...

    Wonky, I'm glad Flatters isn't seriously hurt.  We do worry, don't we?  I hope he's grateful for all the TLC he gets from you!

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend.  image

    Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

    Gawd knows flumpy - best ignored  image

    I used to be frightened of moths - due to childhood stuff. I've become much better just by gradually exposing myself to them in a sensible way. Not like that....image image 

    I looked at pictures and nutcutlet has helped me because she does her moth watching etc. Perhaps you try something like that. Those kind of solutions are usually very good. image

    chicky - a real life button would be great! I'd have a very long list  image
