Weekend roundup

Things that go bump in the night would be enough for most Yourhomers to reconsider their living situation!

More than half, 53 per cent, of those who answered last week's poll said they wouldn't live in a haunted house.

One-fifth of Yourhomers said they could handle a home with a few lingering spirits, while 13 per cent said they don't believe in the paranormal.

The remaining 13 per cent said they don't know whether they'd be able to live with unusual happenings - I know that when I posed the question on Twitter, some followers said they'd be able to deal with benevolent spirits, but none of that horror-movie style spooky stuff. (Read the full story).

Personally, I think weird noises, things moving around behind my back or the odd apparition would be just too much for me, and my overactive imagination, to handle! Read more about living in haunted houses here.

For this week's poll, we're changing gears and thinking about laundry habits. I had a chat with the folks from Sunlight earlier this week and found out, via a survey they conducted, that more than a third - 36 per cent - of Canadian women admit to going a month without changing their sheets!

I always thought that once a week was fairly standard, so I'm curious to hear just how often you wash your sheets. Check out the other (rather disturbing) laundry facts from the survey, then let me know in the front page poll.
