Looks like a branch of Habitat.

I like Habitat. I've never really seen why some call it Shabitat.

Also, they closed our one down

[cosmictanya]

I think they had a retrenchment after the last financial collapse. I expect after this one we'll be making our own furniture from driftwood.

There was a very nice Fresh & Wild in Bristol towards the end of my time there. That seemed to be another casualty of the credit crunch.

I don't like the covers dragging on the floor like that.

[Nightjar]

I know.

Spiders!

[cosmictanya]

I know.

Spiders!

They can and do climb anyway. I've read that we each swallow an average of five a year in our sleep.

[Fangirl Three]

I'm not fussed by spiders (except the big hairy ones, for which I carefully check all boxes of grapes). It's just general fluff and crud off the floor that I don't want in my bed.

I swallow five an hour.

Where?

In Tatler waiting for your ***** to be examined?

Yeah, but that's not by accident.

We all know you're hard up.

It could well have been. Either that or the Horse & Hound.

Talking of spiders, the exterior and garden walls of my house currently infested with a load of these things. J'adorably known as The Dracula Spider

Several miles away there's a block of flats where a woman was bitten on the face with them too

I even had one try and nip my foot last month when it fell on the ground; after I accidentally revealed its nest that was behind some brickwork.

Yesterday, I discovered there were zillions of baby spiders clustered together on my front door.

[The Call of the Wendigo]

The outside of it.

Can we please have no more talk of 'nests' and 'clusters' in the gorgeous interiors thread. That sort of thing might be more appropriate in the housework and medical categories. Or perhaps a new category for disgusting topics - I suggest 'The Quarantine Quarter' as a suitable name. I am strongly of the view that conversational subjects divide into dinner table and doctors surgery, with no overlap. Many thanks for your much anticipated understanding and continued cooperation.

I wonder CT, is Margot Leadbetter one of your spiritual aunties?

[cosmictanya]

Along with a bouquet of Hyacinth (I am very protective of my full set of Royal Worcester 'Fruit' - definitely not for daily use), a slim similarity to Margot has been floated by those who've dared. Patsy Stone and Samantha Jones complete the four female sitcom characters people have drawn parallels with.
