To wake DH up to save me from the mahooosive spider that has just run into the room?

[DorisIsALittleBitPartial]

It's huge. The size of the palm of my hand.

It came into the room earlier this evening but went under the sofa where DH couldn't get to it. I've had my feet up on the sofa all evening in terror.

It's just reappeared with all it's long yukky limbs but DH is now asleep on the sofa. I've tried poking him gently with my toe but he's snoring away.

WWYD?

Yanbu. That sounds terrifying. I would have already screamed him awake if I was you.

YANBU.

It counts as an emergency situation in my book.

Bash it with a massive book, trap it with a bowl or wake your dh but be quick about it!

Yanbu
I wake mine all the time no matter how small it is! If there are 8 legs it has to go!

It's a spider, spiders hate wind. Get your hair dryer and use it to blow on it and then get a glass and put it outside as far away as you feel comfortable

The wind will stop the spider

YANBU.

What are his phobias? You may need a list of things you would save him from to keep the peace.

And before anyone suggests you get therapy to save your poor husband from helping you out:

A) It's can be very expensive
B) Some people don't have the time
C) Why shouldn't he? It's a nice thing to do.

Ergh, Piper what if it gets too hot and goes all crunchy?

What is this wind and glass tomfoolery

Get vacuum cleaner
Engage hose & remove nozzle
Switch on
Goodbye beastly creature

They just crawl out again later on MrJolly, then you don't know where they've went.

Eep.

Dear Husband,

I can make your wife scream louder than you can.

Love,
Spider

Molly crunchy = dead now I don't suggest killing an innocent spider ( I like spiders) but humans are higher in the food chain. Something will eat it.

Molly the bad boy that went in the dyson yesterday stayed suitably corpse-like for my liking

My cat would probably eat it... While I dry heave next to him as he scoffs and crunches.

The house spiders are particularly large this year I've noticed. Legs outstretched, the last one really was the same size as my 7 year old daughter's palm. Hoovering is the only failsafe.

If she's getting the hoover out MrJolly she may as well wake the fucker up to make a professional job of it

Anyone want to see the spider I almost peed on while jumping over it?

:o

(If I kill this thread I'll be mortified)

In the nicest possible way Molly, no.

I shouldn't be here really, I usually have a general rule not to go onto spider threads because they put things in my head that shouldn't be there

Thank fuck for that, you didn't post it while I was writing my post

I won't, I promise.

I remembered as soon as I sent that last post that I would probably need to ask for a warning to be put in the title.

That and I have no intention of scaring people. :o

Legs outstretched, the last one really was the same size as my 7 year old daughter's palm.

Jesus take the wheel.

We have wolf spiders here. Google them... I dare you...

Oh god, I remember how upset I was last year when they were massive. I was in tears nearly every night, I am genuinely terrified of them. Why the hell are they so huge??? [:(]

I was reading this thread last night in bed. I checked under the pillows and duvet before getting in. DH comes to bed fluffs up his pillow and a flaming big spider runs across towards me. DH with lightening speed gran it and disposes of it. I couldn't go back to bed as I need to vacuum the whole room first and at 1·30pm it wasn't practical so as DSs was away we had to sleep in his room.

So I am now about to gut my bedroom, so much for the day off.

I'm sure there is a business opportunity for someone to breed and sell cellar spiders (the spindly ones that eat the big black hairy ones). Our house is full of cellar spiders and we rarely get the other sort. I can just about tolerate them especially as they tend to mind their own business in the corners of ceilings.
