Spiders and other phobias.

Don't mind them that much, as long as they aren't about to run up my leg . If they're just running about on the floor/wall I'm quite happy to put a large tumbler over them, slide a piece of card underneath and take them outside.
But moths and crane flies? Now that's an entirely different story. When we were first married our house was on a new estate with fields at the back and to one side. Being in Essex, the surrounding countryside was flat and very open. We went out one late summer evening, leaving the hall and landing lights on, but forgot to close the landing window. Well, it was like a beacon to all the moths in around a 5 mile radius.

When we returned the house was alive with the things [shudder emoticon]. The only escape for me was the understairs cupboard, where I crouched, trembling, until my DH had dispatched them all to moth heaven. The following morning he hoovered them up - there was somewhere in the region of 50-70 of them . I've never made that mistake since!!

Meant "run alive, " got a bit spooked out.

My mum always used to say "if you want to live and thrive let a s-----r rub alive. uggggg.

Me, hate spiders, won't kill then, so Mrs. P has to deal with them indorrs.
