..yeah my mother in law has always had bowls of them everywhere, like potpourri in every room for as long as I've known her and obviously before the boys came along...and then she's sitting there saying...oh, don't be afraid of spiders, there's nothing to worry about and they can't hurt you etc...well yeah, grandmother, that makes sense as you've pretty much built an inner fortress here for something so harmless.../I told her that as well, that she was a complete looney of conflicting 'advice'...
