I am having a sleepless night.

I just went into my bathroom and found this beauty in my bath!!!!

yes, glass over, and then card under, gently, and take out to garden.

Glad it got away safely. But I think it was an English house spider. Apparently they don’t like outdoors and if you see another one, chances are it’s come from a neighbour’s house where it might have gone after being thrown out of yours! Here’s one I caught a while ago and sent it packing.
I have a few of these lids about along with bits of card so that I can grab one easily and capture an intruder to put it out, always hoping that they don’t run too fast. The big ones need to draw their legs in out of the way! ???

That's got a big bobbly body! shock

i laughed when you said the bathroom is off limits, i either catch them in my cupped hands or use a plastic cup and put them outside, i never kill them as they are useful for keeping the flies away.

I have just had a text through from the ex to say that if I spot another spider, I can text him whatever the time, and he will come and deal with it.

I can't remember why I found him so loathsome all those years ago, now.

Have you seen the Pomeranian spider clip?

I haven't.
Should I look?

Grannynannywanny Sat 03-Sept-22 19:14:06

It’s a dog in a spider costume

MissAdventure Sat 03-Sept-22 19:18:56

Oh!! I shall look then (but I don't approve of dressing animals up, at all)

Oh he sounds wonderful, can’t you overlook his more unpleasant traits.

He and I were chatting about how tempestuous relationships can be, and how people change.
I told him no change here, I was horrible then, and I still am.
I was only pulling his leg, though.
