We have one in the corner of the kitchen. He/she has been there for months but I just gave it a poke with a straw and it didn't move, so I'm assuming it is no more.

If it's still hanging upsidedown from it's web, it's probably playing at being dead. Scoop it up in a bowl or something web & all, if it still isn't moving then it is dead.

Re: Bathroom Friend. (Spider pic)

a week or so ago I had one in my bed. I felt something crawling on my leg and when I pulled the quilt back it scurried across my bed eeeeeek. Ive never moved as fast. To this day I don't know where it went.

I agree with Morty, it#s a skinny one, it needs fattening up, you mustn't be feeding it right LOL

No wings!
Daughter in London gets loads of those spiders. I don't think I've seen those ones here though. Ours are usually pretty big, dark and fat...shudder shudder...

Wow! I'd have freaked out too.

That is what they look like a puff of wind would blow them away.

My spider pal is still there, hanging around, not moving or doing anything, bit like me I guess, in limbo land.

He's gone, my little spider pal. I have searched the house for him, looked in all the places I thought he could be, but he's gone walk about.
