Has anyone noticed how big the spiders are at the mo? Everytime I use my downstairs loo I am greeted by one & they are BIG! On Sky News a man had a spider in his house 5" long!Its because of all this mild weather. I'm scared to go to the toilet....

So glad others have them I'm getting used to them now - we have been living in the country for 5 years now and I've only recently been able to go to bed and resist the temptation to hoover them up. Still hate the buggers though.......

I have & it scares me sh*itless - I hate them. Know it is completely groundless but still scream the place down and can't walk past them

Arrgghhhh!

I was sitting on the end seat of the sofa and a massive one, about 2.5 inches across shot up the wall right beside me.

They are bloody AWFUL!

great article wendyweber! I just went upstairs to use the loo & picked my cardi up up take it upstairs & one of those brown hairy ones was inside it! It was about 3" big! I beat my cardi with hubbies steel toe cap boot! I had to pick what was left of it in tissue and flush it. I'm so brave.

I got major brownie points from ds and dh last night for carefully catching and releasing a mahoosive spider that was hanging out above ds's bed.

Dh was panicking but trying not to let on and aiming a big boot at it. Ds was panicking that the spider would be hurt. And supercool mummy just collected a pint jug and a piece of card and managed to reach the top of the wall (7ft). Not that I'm smug or anything but being better at spider removal than a great big strapping man who is six inches taller than me was quite satisfying.

OK, harley, my address is no 793, Webberley Drive, Spidertown...

harleyd · 08/09/2007 01:38

the spiders are your friends!

Omg, Charlie is my twin, he knows exactly how I feel about the 8-legged bggers! A Rentokil man I was talking to said their fortune would be made if they could find something to eliminate spders from houses.
