Just had new kitchen installed, but it's OK to burn it down isn't it?!

I've been moping at home because I'm waiting to pass my second miscarriage and can't face work. Trying to keep my mind off Google so decided to clear the kitchen.... Found this fucker in the pantry. Apologies for the crappy picture, but that's as close as I wanted to get.

Closed the doors quickly but I can fucking hear it tapping in the cupboard!!! 👀

So, I can burn the house down, right??

Anything with elbows has no place in the house

VenusStarr · 03/09/2019 14:43

Thank you @kiki22

Haha, that made me laugh @Plasebeafleabite

I keep getting goosebumps. The cats couldn't be less interested, but I think he's too big for them Envy yuk

Oh my Christ!!! That’s a beast and a half! I think a flamethrower should do it!

So sorry about your loss Flowers

S1naidSucks · 03/09/2019 14:59

I think that fecker would end up eating your cats! 🤢

catzrulz · 03/09/2019 15:06

Burn it down, then move county or country. That should solve it.
Hope you're OK, sending thoughts and an un-mumsnet hug 💐

6demandingchildren · 03/09/2019 15:08

go and get a restraining order on it

HeadsDownThumbsUpEveryone · 03/09/2019 15:11

Sorry to hear about your miscarriage.

Personally I would just give him the title deeds and make peace with the fact you need to find a new house.

Redred2429 · 03/09/2019 15:13

Dial 999 I'm sure this is exactly what it's for 😜 I would be terrified op

Sorry for your loss

AutumnCrow · 03/09/2019 15:15

I like spiders and would come and sort it for you if I lived close. Have you asked for help? I'd always help a neighbour.

Sorry about your miscarriage. Bummer. Flowers

Jojobythesea · 03/09/2019 15:24

Urgh. I've had three like that in three days. I got some of the electric repellent plug in things from amazon. Couldn't relax in my lounge over the weekend 😫😫

S1naidSucks · 03/09/2019 15:25

Have you asked for help?

The OP would, but at this stage that big fecker probably has her bound and gagged and is currently beating up the cats!

Celebelly · 03/09/2019 15:28

Burn it and then have the ground consecrated. KILL IT BEFORE IT LAYS EGGS.

Celebelly · 03/09/2019 15:29

(Disclaimer: I do not advocate killing any living creature. But fuck me, I think in this case it might be self defence)

VenusStarr · 03/09/2019 15:48

Thank you all Grin, you've made me smile at this crappy time

I'm not opening that cupboard again, ever. All the chocolate is in there too, so silver linings and all that.

@AutumnCrow I'd like you as a neighbour, you can come and help :)

It's body was so big that its backside was wiggling like it had a stinger. Gross. Dh is on his way home, so it will be gone shortly (humanely). I hope its still in there...

Move to Australia, then you'll learn how to be frightened of spiders.

S1naidSucks · 03/09/2019 15:54

I’m glad, OP and I’m sorry your going though this rotten time. 💐

Do you think your husband can manage to get rid of the beast or is the spider going to arm wrestle him to see who becomes king of the larder?

Hoppinggreen · 03/09/2019 15:54

Ha! That’s nothing
I looked down a couple of days ago to find I was wearing a venomous centipede as a bracelet

Sorry for your loss OP xx

That's his house now. 🤣

1forAll74 · 03/09/2019 16:07

The spider is trying to hide from you,which means he doesn't like you, you have scared him now.!

VelociraptorRex · 03/09/2019 16:10

Burn it then see if there's a nuclear missiles anywhere to make sure it's definitely gone Shock sorry OP, hope you didn't like your new kitchen!

Thoughts and Thanks for you at a tough time

Blueoasis · 03/09/2019 16:24

Yep burn the house down. That thing cannot be allowed to remain.

I'm impressed at your bravery though. I'd have left the house screaming, just proving to my neighbours once and for all that I'm insane.

SunshineCake · 03/09/2019 16:27

eek.
