Were did all this come from? You have only been stressing about the move so far, then all of a sudden its spiders. I think you need a drink and a lie down.

Can the real Rooksie please come back

i dont want to go.
Get to London Zoo, is it really the spiders or are you doing what I did and putting all your fears of the whole emigrating process onto them??? Yep I was shit scared of em but became irrational over them whilst waiting for the visa, realised that I was placing all my fears about the move onto the spider.

I really think you should go out there for a rekkie mate, I know its expensive but if you are feeling this bad wont it be worth it??

Honestly mate, you're going to be fine it's just the same as being in the UK you'll see a spider scream and splat it.

How many times has a spider actually crawled on you?

Just go back and think of all the positive things that helped you make the decision to come here in the first plase. Forget about all the other stuff.

You mean those infamous Sydney Funnel web spiders ?

I lived in Sydney for 12 years, and do you know how many I saw in that time ?....

Not ONE..... I still don't know what they look like, and I don't like to look at the pictures either


I couldn't even touch one of those tiny UK money spiders !!

Trust me, if I can handle living in this country with them, anyone can
