Ok not spiders plural just the one big fucker but I am SHOOK. I have a very ridiculous but very real fear of spiders, so much so that about 5 years ago I went on the ‘friendly spider course’ to try and help me deal with it. The course was actually brilliant and has definitely helped but I think in my mind I only really expect to see the very big ones Aug/Sept/October. Those months I’m expecting to see them, so I can use my coping mechanisms from the course to deal with them.
I just walked into my sons bedroom and saw a movement and I’m not even exaggerating... I thought it was a mouse!! It was the biggest spider I’ve ever seen and it seemed to re set the fear because I screamed the bloody house down 
Can anyone reassure me it’s unusual for this time of year? I thought they’d all be dead by now. How do other scaredy cats cope? I’m all anxious like I haven’t been in years. Silly, I know.
