Just that, I found a spider on the coat of the baby I'm looking after, I tried to get it to go from the coat to a tree trunk outside and eventually it did, but it was reluctant. Only now I've realized there's a clutch of eggs covered with a web on the coat. No idea how to remove it without destroying the eggs, mother spider is gone. Kids mother will be home any minute.

Help?

Wtf? Why are there spiders Laying eggs in coats in your house?! Clean your house. Burn the coat.

Lads, it's fine. The spider eggs are outside out of harm's way. And it's not my house so burning it would be arson.

Spiders are my friends. I can't stand flies or any of those little feckers that fly at my face but I also can't stand to kill them. One time I accidentally left the bathroom window open all night with the light on so when I went in the next morning it was full of crawly feckers, plus one biggish spider. I just left, closed the door and prayed for a miracle.

The miracle happened, because when I dared to peek in a few hours later, all the crawly feckers were gone and the spider looked very pleased with himself.

Take four Jacob's crackers and lightly spread with Philadelphia cream cheese. Add the eggs, garnish with a sprig of parsley and serve with champagne.
