So kids and DH have gone to bed. I'm up with a G&T watching some crap about reality tv.

Went to the loo and thought there was one of those little moths fluttering on my lacy dress. Looked again and realised IT WAS A SPIDER. A FUCKING MASSIVE HUGE GINORMOUS SPIDER!

It was so big that then I brushed it off with the loo roll I had ready in my hand it actually made a noise when it hit the floor.

WIBU to burn my house down???

I had one drop from the car roof on me....luckily dh was driving, and I was a passenger

I caught sight of it falling and it landed right in my cleavage, I swear my heart actually stopped all the while it was squirming in a sleazy fashion
I had to reach in and fetch it out ...i have never knowingly touched a spider but I was hugely and fantastically brave

But I did sit for the rest of the journey with my feet up as I had hurled it into the footwell

I had a hysterical cry much to dh's amusement.

Biggest one I ever saw was because I heard it scampering across my wooden floor when I was on the phone, I had just finished drinking a pint of water, and put the upturned glass over the spider whilst squawking for help and he was soooooo big and giant, I crimped his toes on BOTH sides of the glass

Spider: Hello! I'm a friendly spider, come to say hello! Woozle, woozle, cuddles!

Me: I love the smell of napalm in the morning.

Spider:🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I'm scared of them but my friend is petrified.

I remember when we were at school she got a house spider type one stuck in her fringe.

She was panicking so much I had to be brave and get it off her

When I cleaning I wear cotton gloves inside latex gloves as I have very sensitive skin. Last summer I put a pair on I had left on the edge of the bath and started cleaning. A few minutes later I felt as though my finger had been stabbed.. I pulled of the gloves and a spider fell out.. I ran away very fast and was a babbling wreck for the next ten minutes. I think what was worse was that I wasn't bitten straight away if you see what I mean.

They're lucky! Place a bet on the lotto.

One dropped on my head from the Velux as I was passing. I was so big I felt it thump then slide off my hair.
I never trust a Velux now. Never. Always inspect.

I used to really like spiders, and would tell people off for squishing them what an annoying twat I was until one bit me on the ankle so badly that I had to go to hospital and have it drained and the skin butterfly stitched back together.

Still don't kill them, but I make a swift exit if I see one. This thread is making me all itchy and nervous!

I moved some chairs out of the shed yesterday. Started cleaning them to find what looked like a false widow. I frightened it so much I now don't know where it is it ran off and hid. I had shivers all afternoon what if I had sat on the chair and not wiped it down. I was behind the flappy bit you put your head on. Shivers again......

I woke up early on Thursday morning because there was a wasp on my face.

Luckily it must have been as sleepy as I was because it didn't sting me.

I once picked up what I thought was a clump of mud on the carpet (my eyesight isn’t the best without my glasses on). It was a MASSIVE spider that had been curled up. I don’t think I’ve ever screamed so loud in my life

My 1 year old DD has bad nappy rash so we dry her bottom with a 'bum muslin' before putting her nappy on. I picked it up off of the changing mat to dry her last summer and a big, massive fucker crawled out onto DD. I was torn between running out of the room screaming and getting the arsehole off my baby 😂
