The other day, I opened up the lid of my washing machine to wash some clothes….

And I found a little spider, busily making a web inside my washing machine.

At first I was surprised – How on earth did it get in there? My washing machine lid was shut?

Then I was annoyed – Great. Now I have to catch the darn thing and put it outside. I have a zillion things to do today and the last thing I want to do is go around saving spiders.

Then I paused.

OMG when was the last time I did the washing?? Surely it had not been so long that spiders had made a permanent home in my washing machine?

Cobwebs in my washing machine!

Is that a sign of being TOO BUSY or what??
