Oh yeah. ;-)) So how do they get into the bath?

They fall in and can't get out!

Yes but where from?! I do a spider check - no spider to be seen at all.
Go in ten minutes later and there it is, glowering at me.

They are cunning, they wait until you are out of the bathroom where they are
hiding in a crevice, and then deliberately fall into the bath ;-)
When my husband was alive, he would always deal with them for me, but now
I've trained myself to even get big ones out of the bath by gathering them
up in a huge fluffy towel and flapping it out of the window. The only other
option would have been to not be able to have a bath or shower until it
passed away.

I could, of course, squash it, but I don't want to do that, it's not their
fault I have a horror of them. I cannot explain it but it is there.
I can't get a big spider off the wall with the glass and cardboard trick,
the moment the cardboard touches their legs they run up the glass, like they
are going into my hand and I drop it.
I've made progress, but not quite that much!
