O.M.G Huntsman in my drinking glass!!!!!
Just woke up this morning with the shock of my life. :scared:
The story goes like this: I went to bed last night and I always take a drink to bed as I have to take tablets before I go to bed. I left this drink at the side of the bed and at about 6 am I got up and swiped my hand down to pick up the glass and in...yes! in my glass was the biggest mother f***er of a huntsman having a little sip of my drink. :scared:
To say I was a tad surprised was an understatement, this was a big boy and half of his body was at the bottom of the glass and most of his hairy legs were hanging over the edge.
I was soooooo pleased that I did not reach down in the night in the dark without looking and bring the glass up to have a sip because I would have had to change me pants with shock.
What is worrying though is we have never ever in 2 1/2 years had any spiders in this house and I regularly Baygone the whole of the outside of the house and have reasoned that that is why we have never been invaded.
Still, it woke me up pretty quick and the other half is a little perturbed. lol

What I did was slowly move the glass to the door at arms length and gently encouraged this "monsters hairy legs" into the glass and cap it off with a coaster and then throw him in the bushes.
I am sure the bugger gave me the middle finger when he ran off.
