oh I'm OK thanks although my foot is making some funny pains today, I hope it's the healing process kicking in.

It's raining here  now, no wonder it's gone cold.:-(

[twishy123]

Well....I'm officially a murderer 😞

Pulled the dryer out and a small brown thing moved swiftly towards me from the murky realms underneath it 😮

Screaming like a banshee cos I'm not right keen on spiders...:| I plucked up all my courage,closed my eyes and stamped down hard in the general direction of gargantula tarantula :_| :_| :_|

There was a sickening crunching noise.....

I daren't look.....

swallowing hard I raised my foot.....

and found I had killed......

a rogue furry malteser 😐

I'm gutted...may have to give some of his friends mouth to mouth resuscitation a bit later to make up for it ]:)

[captainbovine]

:^O

twishy....I love ya!

I turned on the little light to see what time it was this morning and it was 10 past 5am and a teeny weeny spidey snook across the alarm clock!! He'd gone when I woke up again......

what do I do in my condition if I see one any bigger? well I can't run can I?

[ilove2patch]

lol Twishy!:^O

[cat-knitter]

Twishy Noooooooo :_|

tell me your joking .............. please 😐

we have a HOOOGE spider on our kitchen ceiling atm ..... its been there all day :_|

I think its planning on leaping on me but I keep glaring at it & telling it that if it moves I will squish it  😐

[chickengrandma-2008]

We had a huge spider on our kitchen ceiling a week ago.  It's about 15 or more feet high so no hope of just swatting it.  I got the swat and the Raid and gave a good few sprays up there.  The spider began slowly walking down the wall.  I was ready with the swat as soon as he was low enough.  I waited and waited while he sauntered up a bit, down a bit and sideways a bit.  I took my eyes off him for ONE second and he'd disappeared!!:O  :_|  I searched everywhere for him but I never did find him!

I never stand on spiders, I take my shoe off to hit them.  I can't bear that squelch you can feel, even  through your shoe.  If I'd stood on that malteser thinking it was a spider crunching like that I'd have had the screaming heeby jeebies!:_|

[cat-knitter]

Lol CG :^O

thats why I've left mine where it is ..... I figure if I can't reach him (its gotta be a he cos its ugly) ...... he can't reach me 😐

if I knock him down I might loose him :_|

Twishy that crruunncchhhhh must have been awful :^O

[twishy123]

It wasn't too bad actually CK...

I think it had been there a while and was a bit soggy..:8}

Still it was loud enough to make my knees go like jelly :_|

and I think  a little 'moistness' may have escaped too :8}

[cat-knitter]

Shhh ...... NO "moistness" talk  X-(

I still have a bad cough 😐

[huggles1253]

Evening, we had a huge spider a couple of weeks ago. I normally catch them in a cloth and throw them out but this one was too big and too high. He disappeared too! Did Sunday lunch for twenty today. There were only six coming but I over catered! Had cooked beetroot, boiled then fried in butter. Tasted lovely but I forgot. Went to the loo tonight for a shout rather than a whisper and thought I was bleeding out! Stopped just short of calling an ambulance!

[merc1_clocks]

I have spiders in the house this summer that are like tarantulas 😮

I don't remember them ever being this big...& the little blighters can run sooo fast 😮

AND...I'm blerdy terrified of them :-(:-(

[chickengrandma-2008]

:^O

I thought you were going to say the spider turned up cooked with the beetroot!

Tinned mushy peas have a similar effect.  Talk about green peas!:O

[ilove2patch]

I am a bit of a beetroot addict so am used to the 'results' of eating too much! lol

[kitten347]

I'm now on spider watch after reading last few posts - I hate them!!!  Oh dear....I'm going to have one of me "turns" now 😮

Huggles :^O

[ilove2patch]

I can cope with spiders. My horror is rats. We have them in the lane at the back of our houses.:-(

[merc1_clocks]

kitten...now don't you come over all unnecessary...

knit a bug catcher...with bells...that'll scare the beeheejees out of them, & then they'll be easy to catch :-x

[kitten347]

Too late Merc I've had one of me "turns".  I might never be the same again :^O

[chickengrandma-2008]

We get quite a few yellowy/orange spiders outside that make a web between two points and just sit there, stock still, day after day in the centre, waiting for their prey.  The other day I picked three or four blades of grass, about half an inch long.  I threw them in the web and the spider shot over to the nearest one and grabbed hold of it with it's two front legs.  I thought it was eating it as it juggled it between it's front legs and it's mouth but it wasn't.  It got it clear of the web and dropped it on the ground.  It then went on and did exactly the same with the other pieces.  It was quite fascinating to watch.:-)

[merc1_clocks]

CG...that's amazing...you should have done a David Attenborough, & tried to video it...with voiceover of course :-x

[ilove2patch]

A car has just smashed into the row of cars parked outside my house! Luckly mine was parked at the back! The road to Portland is now completely blocked!
