BIG spider
 

I am not very good with spiders, big or small. :eek: However I was amazed at the spider on a wall this morning. It's quite big, really! and the body is white/grey and looks hard like a sea shell. I have taken a picture and will upload it later if it comes out okay. I had to zoom in.
Watch this space.....

Re: BIG spider
 

Before we moved here we lived in a very old farmhouse in shropshire and my OH would wait in the car while i went in on spider patrol, they don't bother me i pick them up and put them outside.

Re: BIG spider
 

we had a rather large hairy spider run across the living room floor last night and my brave OH called our son to deal with it, who in turn went and got a large tumbler to catch it in, oh how brave my men are! :rofl::rofl:

Re: BIG spider
 

Don't take this the wrong way but........




does he ever wear a dress?;)

Re: BIG spider
 

I don't know what he does when i'm out !! mind you he has got some really loud shirts !!

Re: BIG spider
 

Unfortunately i have passed my phobia on to my kids - i really tried to hide it when they were younger and i think i got away with it until one day i was picking up the duplo and putting it back in the box and this bloody thing the size of a donkey raised its legs at me from the bottom of the box - i freaked - i picked the box up ran outside with it and empied it onto the yard floor and then proceeded to hit it with a shoe till it was little more than a mark on the floor - my oldest son who was about 8 at the time said 'mum you can stop now i think its dead' - so they are now all unfortunately frightened of spiders :o - YUK YUK YUK - i know before someone says it they are not dirty and they kill the flies - well so does fly spray and id rather have a tin of that than a spider in my house :eek:.

Re: BIG spider
 

Ahhh! You girls will never know what we boys get up to when we're home alone! And that's how it shall stay. For ever and ever.;)

Re: BIG spider
 

I don't like spiders, but I'd never kill one. Last week I had to get H.G to remove one that was so big he had to put a pyrex bowl over it! Even he thought it was huge and he's seen all sorts of creepy crawlies in his job!

Re: BIG spider
 

I used to be married to one, many's the time i wanted to put a pyrex bowl over his head !!

Me I can't stand spiders and have also passed the fear onto my kids ..... but busters mum your last post reminded me of my youngest childs question recently ....there was a large hairy spider called a huntsman spider on the wall in the lounge room ....and OH caught it in a glass and put it outside. A couple of days later she said to me " Mum do husbands bite ?" I looked at her a bit strangely ...."you know"she said "Husband spiders".....:blink:
