Spiders
Isn't it strange how if there is a spider on the ceiling somewhere, I always look up at that precise moment, and spot it.I don't believe I would have looked up if there hadn't been anything there, so what makes me look up just at that moment? It's not as if I have seen it move out of the corner of my eye.
Today, on my bathroom ceiling, I saw the biggest spider in the whole world, bigger than a football.
(I'm getting a bit carried away now, but it wasn't 'arf a size!
Now I know some of you will say I'm wicked, but I swatted it. It is common a reaction to something we are frightened of, probably learned from my mother, who was terrified of 'em.
Then tonight, on my kitchen ceiling, it's brother was sat there, watching me. Now if that mammoth thing had come down his web on me during the night, nobody here would ever hear from me again - because I would be dead, with a heart attack.
I have never had spiders as big of footballs indoors before, I hope I don't get any more either!

Re: Spiders
It's getting cooler & house spiders come into houses at this time of year.They can be very big too. I don't like them but I'd not kill one.
I try to catch it & put it outside, it is the thought of it landing on me at night that makes me move the ones in our bedroom, if I can't reach it I yell for OH or Son.

Many people are frightened of spiders but don't panic - there are many ways to get rid of the eight-legged crawlers without killing them.
Trap the spider under a glass or jar and slide a piece of cardboard underneath before releasing it outside
Stuck in the bath? Drape a towel over the edge so the spider can crawl out and then shake it off outside
Gently sweep into a dustpan and lightly tap the pan to stop the spider from moving while you take it outside
Coax the spider onto a long stick or ruler and take outside. Vacuum up old webs
If you don't want to see spider pics don't open the link, it has a few.

Ooer, I'm not dreaming, it's still double. I know I've had a glass of wine but I'm not seeing double - honest.

Off to bed now, night Mups.
Thank Gawd it wasn't the wine. |
