Best not encourage him, eh? :~), although RG once wore a skirt to work

Oh, what a let-down! You slipped up there! ;-)

Oh, come now - a little judicious blackmail never went amiss. ;-))


You don't, um, skirt around things, do you Sacha?!! Next time, I'll
have to remember my camera when he visits my wardrobe. Do you think
he'll need a 'tv' licence?

To what and whom are you replying?

Some quoted text would be an advantage.

I have nothing against them, honest! They are undoubtedly beautiful and
useful creatures, and the world would be a worse place without them.

But I'm really, really scared of them! I don't know why! Even a picture in
a magazine is a problem! I've tried and tried to rationalise, but it
doesn't work. I'm just arachnaphobic, and that's it!

If they don't bother me, I don't bother them. But, I have this awful vision
of Pergatory where you come face to face with everything you've killed - and
it would contain, for me, a lot of wasps and spiders! Forgive me.

The same thing happened to me actually, it was when I was in bed, and I turned on the light and searched around and the spider was on the wall close to my pillow. I just got a glass and placed it over the spider and used paper to get the spider trapped in the glass and put it outside of the window. I am not really scared of spiders I just prefer for them not to be in my room while I am trying to sleep. I wouldn't worry about deterring the spider, I would just use the glass and paper method, and as for where they come from, they come from outside, since they are so small they can fit under any gap in the house and usually live underneath the floorboards (when I had my floor done there were LOADS down there) and often are found in the loft (again I found LOADS up there) and I think they just know where to go, they must have good navigation systems or something. It is quite creepy to think about how many spiders actually live in our homes. We should charge the little buggers rent!
