Put them outside, so they can feed and stop little flying critters which sting, suck blood and carry disease from entering your home.
You just need a piece of paper to carry them and if you chuck them out of an upstairs window, they'll be fine.

At least in UK there isnt a high possibility of coming across something that can crawl into your slippers and potentially kill you if it stings you:eek:
But I am sure I will get to Thailand one day....dying to see my new baby niece. I will brave the scorpions and other scary things for her:ABut these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.0 -

Its when spiders get in your hair when you are asleep that you should worry. My gran had a right little nest in hers, and didn't even know. she did wear a wig though and at 92 is partially sighted. still she would happily put it on and wear it all day, with a few swinging off.
now aren't you glad i told you that before bedtime? heheheBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0
