Is there some unwritten law regarding cobwebs that I am not aware of? Why do I only see them when a) I am in a mad rush or b) it is far too late to get the Hoover out (even if I could be arsed?).
I think it's the same law that means you always find a stray dirty sock on the stairs just after you have put the washing machine on and the laundry basket is completely empty :o(
I love cobwebs, I have quite a collection. I have a long-handled brush rather than vacuuming - that way I can wift it about whenever the webs get too irritating, or those weird drangly ones appear in the middle of the ceiling. I like having spiders - my mother always said that spiders only live in happy houses. I can see where I inherited my nonhousewifely habits from!
Good grief Box - this house must be bursting at the seams with happiness, there are cobwebs everywhere (I am sure this is the most cobwebby and dusty house I have ever lived in).
As Quentin Crisp says - after a while, the dust doesn't get any thicker, so just leave it. (I didn't like his idea of eating several meals off the same plate, though, that's not hygienic.)
Hi DT - going to show that to #2 son tomorrow, he is convinced he is going to do something with nasty bugs when he is older yet freaks a bit when he sees an actual spider.
I have a spare bathroom (don't ask) where I keep the airer thing, I have a current basket, a school uniform bag/pile, a should be done but isn't done basket and a 'I don't know what's in there' basket' plus a charity mound! Every day I have it at the top of my must do list to sort it out but somehow it's still there!
