    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Just popped in quickly, looking for mhoc

    mhoc if you are here I've got something to tell you that might, and I say just might explain errant sons bite.

    I remember years ago moving some clothing that had sat folded up undisturbed for several months. When I went to move them a spider scuttled out. Between the clothes there was a web, so it must have been living there.

    Spiders do bite by the way.

    Just wondered if as you said earlier his bed hadn't been changed, it's possible that a spider took up residence :eek: makes me go tingly at the thought now :o
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
