[lucy5]

DD has just been bitten on the finger by a huge black hairy spider. its the hairiest spider ive ever seen, should I be rushing to the urgencia?

What a horrible shock. I'm glad she is ok.

oh lord,poor little dd,glad she's ok.hope she gets over the scarlet fever soon too,dd had it recently,it left her skin horribly dry and itchy for weeks

Just an update incase you didnt see it last night. DD is fine and is quite excited about her adventure.

Senora, we have down loaded the photo and she has proudly shown it it to her grandma and grandpa. Lets hope she's ok at bedtime.

Thanks for you concern whymummy, spider bites weren't something I ever thought i'd ever have to deal with in spain. It's all good for the book hahaha!

LOL,bless her,glad she's ok,so the spider was in her bed ey?hmmmmm all of a sudden staines seems like a lovely place to live
I AIN'T MOVING!!!!!!

"spider bites weren't something I ever thought i'd ever have to deal with in spain. "

Our next door neighbour (in boring Bedford) got bitten by a spider in his house! not poisinous though (well if it was it didn't effect him LOL).

on second thoughts....

Spider bites??

Black widows?

Funnel webs??

Big hairy spiders????

FFS.....I detest and do I mean detest spiders and am going on hols to Spain v.soon.

Sorry Lucy, was so shocked, forgot to say that I hope DD is fine.

dont worry ive been here nearly 2 years and ive never seen anything like this before. I think dd just attracts trouble.

just bumping foe Senora and her creepy crawly hubby

hi lucy
how's dd?
and the spider?did she get away?

Hi why, dd is fine, just got temp etc from the sf. Dh released the spider into the wild, I wanted to stamp on it.

Glad to hear it!

NB the things you really have to watch out for in Spain are centipedes. If you see one, don't touch it.

There are lots of snakes here too, but they're not common and good at hiding (much to DH's disappointment)

Ive seen a scorpion and have had a letter home about processionary caterpillars. luckily none of us have any phobias , except for dh who is a little bit wimpy about those big flying black bugs. I'm the chief bug catcher in our house.

ok, fingers crossed dh putting dd to bed, all quiet so far!

suerte lucy,hope she goes to sleep without a problem
are you having that large vodka now?you deserve it,what a shock it must have been!

Still not asleep just heard door bang and dd bossing dh. Ive got the vodka on hold Just heard dh say ow, so god knows whats going on in there. Oh no shes coming up the stairs accusing dh of being unfair. She's behind me, aaaggggghhhhhhhh!

oh dear
what's happened,is she scared?

Shes still going, I dont think shes scared. I think shes overtired, got a sore throat and it's blooming boiling here today. Might have to swap in a minute.

or she just could be a little bugger

girls usually are
have you finished work lucy?

Yes, thank god but they werent very happy when I phoned in and missed the end of term meetimg. Aggggggghhhhh men. dh has finally won the battle Yippeee!! Hope alls well with you, any plans yet?

i think of nothing else,i want to get a job here and also i was thinking of studying so i can teach english in spain too,i've just been on learndirect so i can do it from home,what you think?

What sort of teaching are you thinking of?

1. tefl teaching in academies or private, usually rubbish money and unfriendly child hours. Often autonomo (sp) paper work and expensive,

2 Pgce in English and Spanish or either, would get you into the international school system, quite well paid in Spanish terms but often run by idiots.

3 Passing Spanish teachers exam when you get here, supposed to be quite hard but better hours and i've heard better pay. Would have to get any uk qualifications convalidated.
