I put a glass over a spider once it was a big
one.........
but i caught one of it's legs with the glass
you should have heard it it was going mad it was though it was buzzing you could tell he was mad .

.. erm..gulp,in your underpants!!! did you not feel

spider wriggling Ronald? LOL ;O)

Anyone see on the news, giant spider crawling down office block in Liverpool? for culture celebrations!

This IS true. Undressed t'other night and there was a spider in me underpants!

I hate the big ones that come inside this time of year. I catch them with a glass and card or my oh picks them up to put ouside. I'd rather know that they're outside than sleep knowing that one is on the prowl. We can't kill them either because my oh is a biology teacher he goes ape if they get squashed.

Boris The Spider

Look, he's crawling up my wall
Black and hairy, very small
Now he's up above my head
Hanging by a little thread

Boris the spider

Now he's dropped on to the floor
Heading for the bedroom door
Maybe he's as scared as me
Where's he gone now, I can't see

Creepy, crawly
Creepy, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly
Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

There he is wrapped in a ball
Doesn't seem to move at all
Perhaps he's dead, I'll just make sure
Pick this book up off the floor

Creepy, creepy, crawly, crawly

He's come to a sticky end
Don't think he will ever mend
Never more will he crawl 'round
He's embedded in the ground

to those of you who are afraid of spiders - what exactly d'you think they are going to do to you?

Poor little "Incy Wincy Spider" no body loves you any more.**M**.Pmsl.:o))))))>.

Spiders in chocolate? OMG!!!!
Christine, you have just put my diet right back on track!

Reading this thread has made me nervous. I just screeched cuz out of the corner of my eye I saw a fly!

I was lying in bed t'other night and a great big spider ran over me. I jumped up and clouted it into spider mush with heat magazine. Then i couldn't sleep for the rest of the night for fear the other spiders would send out a search party for it.

Oh noooo - I sympathise with you fully as I have a really terrible phobia where spiders are concerned!

This'll make you laugh (or shudder!) - the other night I was sitting on the floor next to the fireplace, stroking my cat and watching the fish in the aquarium. I leant back and rested my hand on the hearth. A moment later my cat sat bolt upright, ears pricked up, staring towards my hand...

...I turned around and almost died of a heart attack - there, sitting right next to my hand, was a massive black spider (the one's with fat bodies and sticky-out eyes). I let out an almighty scream (the cat bolted - and even the spider jumped!!) and catapulted myself across the room into the lounge wall (ouch!).

I then tried desperately to scramble to my feet but kept slip-sliding about (I have oak flooring and was wearing tights!) and ended up falling with an almighty thump on the wooden floor.

Grazed the skin off my knees (which came up red and swollen after - double-ouch!!) - eventually got to my feet and swung round to see the spider still sitting there (probably in a state of shock, too). I knew for a fact that I would not be able to sit in that room if that spider was lurking around so I had to muster up the courage to whack it with a nearby shoe. Sorry to all those nature-lovers who don't kill spiders but when you have a fear as strong as this there is absolutely no way you could tell me to catch it and put it outside! I'd die in the process.

Well, I just sat there afterwards, shaking like a leaf, crying my eyes out and wanting to vomit...and even now I keep having flashbacks of it and it makes me feel ill.

So, you're definitely not alone with your fears!!

And there's more......................

While sitting on the loo,.......................as you do............ I caught sight of something moving on the little bathroom stool which froze me to the seat.
It was watching me .........watching it , we sat and stared at each other in wonder, scared to make a sudden move I went into slow mo, reached for the "show" towel and gently dropped it over a massive black toad !!!!
It was the size of my fist. I have no idea where it came from .........
nor do I want to !
Anyway this toad start hopping round the bathroom still covered by the towel and after a bit of a wrestle getting it out from behind the unit I took it down to the fields far enough from the house not to find it's way back.Ran back , locked the door, closed all the windows and squirted everywhere with air-freshener.!!!!
As if that's some sort of Toad reppellant !

Lindsey, I am so sorry but you just made me pmsl
I guess that spider got his own back on you!

I have found a couple of big ones recently, put a glass over them and slid a piece of paper underneath and tipped them into the glass to take them outside to the garden. I do sometimes jump when one runs across the floor but just stamping my feet makes it run away from the vibration and gives me time to catch it or leave it to go and hide away somewhere.

The only time I shriek is if I go to the compost bin and forget to check first, sometimes there are cobwebs with spiders on and I walk straight into them, ugh!

Ah no not eating them ! YuK {Who eats half a spider !! }
The last time I got brave , I threw a tea towel over it and carried out to the back door and flicked the cloth out of the door.........nearly breaking my wrist on the door frame, I was black and blue for a couple of weeks.
I though I had caught George the other day, only to find an empty skin he must have shed in order to grow a size bigger ! I've got one of those electric fly zapper things so I don't know what he''s living on, but he's been in the top corner of this room all day, lurking !!!

I heard that we all eat at least 1 and a half spiders in our lifetime....yuk! And I live about half an hour away from Colchester, so will be keeping all doors and windows closed from now on!!!!!

Rosi I would put some talk on the floor and hoover it up - choke it to death! I am being serious. Just to make sure. Or have you got some, I hate to use the word harpic powder and shove that down and hoover. Failing that chuck the hoover outside. Hope its not an expensive vacuum!
