Spiders! 🕷 🕷

Unfortunately, if you put a house spider outside it will most probably die 😬

Yes, I put a very large fat one outside yesterday on a lavender Bush and now m worried it might not survive as it's rather chilly this evening.
There was a smaller one abseiling up and down from the bedroom curtain this morning, hope it's not on my pillow now.

They are considered harmless, but they do bite, as DD discovered when she unwittingly sat on a large one. No I’ll effects of course.

We use a child’s fishing net to catch and release butterflies straying into the conservatory . Works a treat with spiders too, they happily crawl in and enjoy a ride to the end of the garden. I then turf them out by a shed, don’t mind if they take up residence in there. At the moment the conservatory is play group for baby spiders, could be a challenge ahead for the fishing net.

I just leave them …not one has tried to eat me …ever!🤷🏻‍♀️

My back seized up last night and I was on childminding duties today and had to sort it, so I put Voltarol on it, took some paracetamol and slept on the floor on my Shakti mat and all I could think of, lying on the floor, was spiders! Thankfully I fell asleep quite quickly!

I am pathetically terrified of spiders and can’t move as fast as I once did (!)
I will be hoovering like a mad woman and collecting Conkers as soon as they start dropping off the trees 👍

I couldn't find the one which was abseiling or bungee jumping from the bedroom curtain yesterday but noticed spider poo on the curtain this morning.
Wish I'd put it outside now.

I have found conkers work very well and also I spray in corners with a citronella spray which seems to help as well.
I really don't like spiders as they run too fast but still try to catch them and put them outside - not always very successful at this.

As usual I fell asleep on the sofa last night and woke up to find a dead spider next to me . On the subject of conkers, just be careful if anyone has a dog because, like acorns they are poisonous to them. I am going to put some in inaccessible places though? Do they have to be newish ones?
