To show you this delightful cup of tea! *[content warning - spider pic alert!]

[Omgwhatisthat]

This is what my mother saw when she finished the cup of tea my father made for her..!

Be warned You are going to have people screaming for a trigger warning!

Aaargh!!

Good lord

Had he been to see a witch doctor?

He said it was added protein…

That's exactly what my DH would say.😁

God, men really can't do anything can they? Even making a cup of tea without a spider in the bottom is beyond their capabilities.

That's why all my mugs are stored upside down in the cupboard. Mind you the spider might have been in the kettle and he didn't swill it out.

@mrswhiplington Typical man response 😂

Happened to me about 30 years ago with a crane fly, I nearly swallowed it! Scarred for life

You’d need to drink OP’s cup of tea next then wouldn’t you. Then you’ll need a cup of tea with a bird in it. How absurd, to swallow a bird.

Im going to have that stuck in my head all day now!

Best reason for divorce I've seen on mumsnet

I thought this was about reading tea leaves 😂 nope now I am scarred for life and away to fling out anything tea related 😱

@Sunnyqueen I completely agree. She should LTB.

I was expecting a nice thread about mugs, maybe biscuits. Luckily I'm not arachnophobic. Well played op.

Oh no, poor thing, is it dead?

I think it might well be @HebeSunshine

I think it's just resting.

@HebeSunshine Very.

I’m far more concerned that the mug
looks like it has dried on ketchup. The spider at least would be clean(ish).

Fairly sure that's a fish design!

@Libre2 It is part of the design, no ketchup just a pair of fish 🐠 🐟

You'll have to award him his 5m swimming certificate...

Good grief - my eyesight is absolutely diabolical! I apologise for maligning your cleanliness.
