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

SHUDDER

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.

A few years ago I was sitting up in bed reading when a huge hairy black
spider dropped from the ceiling and straight down the front of my
nightie!!! God you should have seen me - jumping out of bed, screaming
the place down and ripping off my nightie not caring a fig about
exposing myself when I never ever let anyone see me without clothes.
That was the scariest moment of my life!
