I SOOOO Sympathise, I hate the bloddy things too. We had a HUGE one in the kitchen yesterday. I put my biggest glass (lager size) over it and waited for OH to come to my aid - he chucked it in the garden. Personally I would have got an argos catalogue and splatted it but there you go. I had to close all the windows - dont want it climbing back in.

*shudders*

It used to be lovely when we had a cat because any spiders I hoovered up would then get a shower of cat litter to smash them inside my hoover - very cruel and I feel terrible for doing it but I really dont like them at all.

*shudders even more*

I do wish I had not peeped in and read this before going to bed I am going to be itching all night! lol

Yes I'd read about it Maz,but wondering if it was legal to bring insects etc. into this country.
I know we have certain laws regarding tortoises and some small mammals,also dogs to be quarantined.

Mau, it ran across the teenage sons hand, then the dog went for it (a little one, westie I think) and the dog keeled over. they had the rspca and army bods search for it but couldn't find it - family have moved out in fear.

here's the link - don't have nightmares though!

* shudders *

wishes she hadn't looked at this thread - 2 on spiders in one night :-(((

did anyone see that spider in the paper last week? a camel spider that a soldier brought back by accident from (I think) Afghanistan? It bit the family dog and killed it ... This thing is HUGE and can run at 10 miles an hour. I was calculating how long it would take to run from Colchester to Walthamstow lol.

I will be checking all my nooks and crannies before I go to bed tonight. One of the only times I wish there was a man in the house! Although ex used to moan like hell if I wanted one got rid of.
