Your eyes are not deceiving you Cherokee. You are lucky to have just had 4, I have had 8 within a fortnight and they are huge... I have managed to catch 2 of them and liberate them. Unfortunately the remaining 6 were just too feisty so I had to call on my friend Dyson.......

well thank god its not just me lettie haha, i was beginning to think they had been sent to destroy me from another planet or something havent seen a small one for ages . i really dont like spiders but they seem to be coming in groups and bigger than ever errgggg

They seem to be eating more this year. I don't mind spiders because they keep the place clear of flies.

Only if you let them build webs all over your house Willow

Yeh we have the big ones in residence as long as my daughter dont spot them hehehe we've had many an episodes cos a few have creeped into her room & the pandamonium she causes ...so armed with glass & paper i duely rescue our 8 legged friends back outside, but they soon get back in somehow so now they are warned keep out of daughters sight & they'll be safe

So every night now im ordered to check daughters room before she goes to bed to make sure its safe & spider free lol im sure they are more scared of her than she is of them just they are quieter about it

Me & me son dont mind them at all & laugh but least we dont kill em - thats for wasps!!! PMSL

Another thing as well been getting a few daddy long legs - what use are them that like most flying insects/bugs all they do is dive bomb & bloody pee you off they get a slap, least spiders keep out way & dont bug ya really.

apparently if you put a house spider outside the back door it will probably be back in the house before you!!!! so squish them!!!

jackyalex · 21-09-2006, 22:21

im with you on that accymel,i hate those flying insects they seem to be attracted to me they send shivers down my spine,my son likes to save any insects and gets them out the house before my slipper reaches the insects,my little nature boy

My eldest doesn'y mind bugs either. i have had a couple of BIG spiders in my house this year. I was sat at the computer tother night and one crept up alongside the computer dest.....................

So I turned everything off and went to bed. Even my mum had trouble getting me to go to bed at 9pm after I was about 4 years old, but that spider managed!!!!!!

I hate them that much I can't even kill em!!!!

At work other day, pulled covers back on one of our residents beds and a huge spider ran across the bed. I had to get my colleague to squish it.....

slinky · 21-09-2006, 22:33

OMG talking of spiders there is one right now on the wall next to the computer again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But it's only a baby compared to the last one so I think i might survive this time. But if it brings any mates with boots on back......I'm off.

cherokee · 21-09-2006, 22:37

OMG slinky you ve got me looking round my walls now pmsl

jackyalex · 21-09-2006, 22:38

is it looking at you,youve prob woken it up its come out to stare at you so you turn off the comp again and let it go back to bed,or it might want to eat you lol
