OMG another one!

This is the second night that i've found a huge spider sitting on the wall behind me.

The first was ginormouse it looked for all the world as though it was made of wood :-0 and I was so scared I had to wake my OH to take it outside in a yoghurt tub.

Now just this minute I've spotted another,a black one with long thick legs *shudders* :-0 and OH has done his trick again and taken it out to the garden......where are they coming from?
They seem to be getting bigger.... :-S :-(

JUMPS ON THE CHAIR
and shouts the cats for protection

Apparently, conkers in the corners of the room (and possibly by the door) deter siders.

Colleague at work swears by conkers.

I love spiders :-D

So do I Maggie, they are delicious with chips and gravy :-D

Maybe your OH should empty the yoghurt pot first....thats what they come back for :-D :-S

More crunch than slugs, Allan :-D :-D

They're so big Joy the cats would be scared of'em :-(

Spiders are okay Maggie....in the garden

Couldn't eat them with chips Allan cos I'm on a diet and Mr.M
I'll certainly bear that in mind

Frightened to go to bed now :-( in case one gets me ....think i'll have a good search ooer :-(

Plus everyone gets a leg :-D

lol Mau :-D :-D

There Hybrids Mau.

some can be 2" long and thats just the body..

Edit,, wait til your hubby has to catch 50 in one night like I had to do in 1992 when we moved house.

Horrible things they are.

Shurrup !!


I haven't had ANY yet !!! .......I cant think why, I always get at least 9 or 10 every September..

But I keep looking around to spot them, mine are so big they give me dirty looks .. :-S

Bet I get one today.........I'm on Spider watch during the night when I use the loo as that's when the blighter's seems to show up :-( grrrrr

It's the same ones coming home again Mau. :-D

The only way to be rid of house spiders is to live in a tent.

They're welcome in my house :-D

We got lots of littlies in the bathroom, which are sort of fascinating...lol BUT ginormouse ones in the bedroom, you can keep em !!!!
A few years agao sister caught a ginormouse one, put a glass over it and slid card under, as she stood up the card slipped and BIG G ran up her arm.....god how awful...shudders at thought:(((

Oh Mau, I've got one, also.
Saturday afternoon, got a piece of work out my craft bag, in the kitchen, and out he flirted. He crawled up the kitchen wall and clung on to the ceiling. He had vanished after that, but last night he re-appeared on the kitchen ceiling, but has disappeared again now.
I call him he, because he can't be a female with those hips. I think the name Rastas would suit him well, if you know what I mean LOLOL

Julia in Derbyshire

Apparently when we're lying in bed asleep at night and sucking in the curtains, we also suck in quite a few spiders during the course of our lives :-D

If spiders don't like conkers, why are there so many spider-webs in my Horse Chesnut tree? :-S

It's a ploy by spider lovers Wend, garden spiders love to build webs near them :-D

CAN i come down off the chair yet :-D

Course you can Joy



have you got some waders ? :-D

thank you puts on theigh boots ;-)

All clear for now *fingers crossed*......had a very restless night's sleep :-(....

Hybrids Sue is that what you call them? lol I have another name ;-) I have never seen any spiders like the 'wooden one' which was the size of a Swan Vestas matchbox ,(even the one I saw in Australia) this looked almost like an ornament.....50? 50? in one night omg I feel faint. :-0

My OH gets up for the loo during the night Marilyn,I keep telling him to wear slippers,but there again the spiders are usually on the walls,and they look even more fearsome as the walls are white!

I'll ask Oh to wrap 'em up and post them to you Island...they're ALL yours;-)
.....and that's why I get OH to catch them Jude for fear they escape:-0

I'm calling them the Sumo team Julia but it's my lovely husband who deserves a gold medal :-D as i honestly don't think I could go to bed with them lurking :-(

'we also suck in quite a few spiders during the course of our lives'..........well i've read that too Wend and I DON'T believe it!! ;-) it's a myth...now if the critters were moths I would be safe....wouldn't I? :-S

I'll be looking at the ceilings again tonight,and that doesn't help my balance problems.....

Wobbly Mau xx :-D
