fantastic present
There was a package awaiting at the new house tonight from a friend in Sydney.... a spider friendly spider catcher! Its great, its a long stick with a brush thing on the end that opens and closes around the spider (or other nasty) so you can carry it outside and therefore avoid sqashmarks on clean cream walls - it even comes with a plastic spider to practice with!
Have used it on two small ones and it works, hurray!!!
It was becoming impractical to stay out of any room containing a spider so problem solved.

I've got used to the spiders, ants & bugs everywhere. I've even got used to the possums in the roof and rino beetles in the pool. Watching the occassional snake slither past in the garden or on the roof are bareable. But when i saw a snake on the hall stand--that was NOT acceptable.
Didnt have time to measure (approx 3-4ft) or identify it as i was running for the video whilst yelling at the kids to stand clear. Mike finally encouraged it outside with an umbrella & I got some good video coverage to send to england !!

AAAaaaaarrrrgh:scared: :scared:
Am quite ok with snakes in the garden but not in the house. There I was just coming to terms with my spider phobia and you give me a new one!!!!
Where are you that the snakes are so cheeky?
(mental note: must buy umbrella, just in case)

Loads of people seem to be looking at Wellington Point at the moment, I've had several pm's and e-mails this week since putting it as my location!(dont know if that'll be a plus or minus for you
)
Anyway, I'll send you a pm,
Michaela
