Yeah, I'm the same. Have to wash my hands when I take off gloves. If they're the disposable latex type gloves,m they always get water in them, and often rip too. The marigold types get worn again and again till they're done, so you dunno what's gone on before you've had them.

They always leave your hands feeling funny and there's an odd rubbery smell too.

do what I do and carry a small tube of hand cream with you. That way you can put it on during the day. Like once you're done with a person and you've washed your hands, put some one so it'll soak in before the next round.

Ick I hate that rubbery smell!!!

I like your idea of the hand cream. I used to carry some around in my bag with me but I'd always forget I had it there.

There's a moth in my room I have no idea how it could possibly have got here.

You're not going to hurt him, are you?

Don't hurt him. Maybe open the window and encourage him out. Probably got in through a window or door earlier.

I just ignored him. I dont really remember seeing him again. Come to think of it though I found a dead moth on my desk yesterday while cleaning. I didnt think twice about it but now that I read this post I wonder if I should have tried to catch him and put him outside.

They can be good at hiding though. Esprecially between the fold of curtains or under things.

That's very true. I'll try not to feel bad about it. Besides, it might have been the enormous spider that I caught crawling up my duvet that got him. And that wouldn't be my fault at all.

I don't get many spiders in my room, and when I do I point them out to the dog as she likes to bat them about, pick them up in her mouth and throw them before pouncing on them where they land. This doesn't tend to last very long as she gets bored when they stop playing and refuse to move.

Oh poor spider. Although to be honest I don't feel that bad for them after the awful dream I had last night. I was being chased by a large red and black poisonous spider.

Did something else happen, or did you just wake up?

Don't like spiders.
