not sitting there any more Just goes to show how large these
spiders are to make a noise like that!!

I'm going out tomorrow to see what I can find for deterring spiders. May
have to send off for it tho as I'm not at all sure any of our local
shops will have such a thing.

How do these huge spiders get into the house anyway? No windows are
open and they always seem to drop from the ceiling!

They get in as ickle longleggety things and eat your pests. That makes
them grow, shed their exoskeleton, and cotinue their good work.

ATM I have a large spider patrolling my front-room ceiling.

Many years ago the GF demonstrated the Farm Spider - it used to cross
the hall at 10.10 pm every day. You could hear its stamping across the
Marley tiles, and it would have spanned a pint glass tankard.

Treat it as a pet - it won't harm you until it grows to about fifty tims
its current size, by which time, you'll need a biggerer sofa innit.
