ArabellaTarantella · 10/09/2014 17:15

Fuck me - I wish people would put a bloody warning!

PureMorning · 10/09/2014 17:15

Throw the match

Dont look back

That bastards so big it should be paying rent

DandelionGilver · 10/09/2014 17:16

Throw a towel over it, gather up the towel and shake it out the window.

Whatever you do, don't flush it down the plughole as it will get into the overflow pipe and get back in the bath.

It's only a little one. Smile

TheBloodManCometh · 10/09/2014 17:17

It's MASSIVE!
I've had to leave it in the house to go and fix my car.
I bloody hope it's still there when I get back!!!

That's the one I found in my sink last week. Since the thought of him wandering around my house was even worse than the thought of dealing with him and i didn't want to wake up with a spider on my face I got a pint glass and a piece of a4 card, opened all the doors and screamed at the dcs told the dcs to stay well out of the way.

When I got the bugger outside he ran straight towards me

That's when I screamed...

Is there a picture? On Mumsnet Mobile and it's not showing up (normally does)

Confused
TheBloodManCometh · 10/09/2014 17:19

It won't go down the plug hole!!! It's twice the size of the damn silver thing let alone the holes.

[Weeps]

I have a jerry can you can borrow.

YANBU - maybe give the neighbours a heads up lol x

icanhaveadarksideifyouwantmeto · 10/09/2014 17:26

turn the shower on it.... It will curl up into a ball and will be flushed away. be sure to run enough water to get it under the u bend though, otherwise it will float and will pop back up tomorrow.

For those of you phobics. dont leave the towel hanging over the side of the bath... spiders use them as ladders to climb out the bath and hide in your house!

ThatBloodyWoman · 10/09/2014 17:29

Your bath is really sparkly!

He's a babby.
Woman up!

Fillybuster · 10/09/2014 17:29

You could try pouring a full kettle of boiling water on it? That would both cook/kill it and send it down the plughole.

You could follow up with a squirt of the MN Finest Drain Cleaning range (aka hair removal cream) and then you'd be certain to have killed off the sucker...

londonrach · 10/09/2014 17:29

Lol. Was treating a patient yesterday. Went to wash my hands and in the sink a spider bigger than yours was there. I screamed and my older male patient came to my rescue. So shamed how unprofessional I was. I kept saying it was the shock as didn't expect it..... :-(.

londonrach · 10/09/2014 17:30

Burn the house down now..

TheBloodManCometh · 10/09/2014 17:30

Too big for pint glass. I'll trap his legs.
And then he'll get angry

TheBloodManCometh · 10/09/2014 17:38

Would feel a bit mean doing the boiling water thing.

Oh londonrach to have been a fly on the wall - even the next fly the spider caught - when you made such an unprofessional twat of yourself. Well, we all drop one sometimes!

Bulbasaur · 10/09/2014 17:53

Hairspray. It's a projectile weapon. It makes them too stiff to run, and it blocks their pores so they suffocate. Quick and easy. :)

londonrach · 10/09/2014 17:58

I know andrew. My patient seemed to find it very funny. It was large (the spider not another else). It was a very loud scream. I'm normally ok just came out of no where. Patient drowned the bugger.. (Spider...)

londonrach · 10/09/2014 17:59

Anything not another. How do you turn autocorrect off an ipad

Ginrummy · 10/09/2014 18:10

I'll never forget trying to shower one down the plug hole...it didn't work! I kept showering then checking and each time it would jump back out. It clung on!

Andrewofgg · 10/09/2014 18:12

Ginrummy Remember Robert the Bruce?

Anewmeanewname · 10/09/2014 18:15

Is it me, or are there a lot more spiders about lately than usual?
