Don't know if anyone heard this one, but on Radio 2 this morning, Sarah Kennedy announced that conkers (horse chestnuts in other words) get rid of spiders! They can't stand them apparently, so if you scatter a few around your rooms, you'll have a scary-free zone.......... I've done me bedroom for starters. Luckily there are lots of chestnut trees at work so I filled my bag with them this morning - the guys on reception are convinced I've finally lost it. So if you've got chestnut trees in NZ, give it a try - no chemicals, and you can play with them when you're done........
