Yikes!!!! Don't think I'll be popping in to visit you, ML, in a hurry (and, yes, love the self portrait!!!!!!!! :D :D )
..... but then, could be persuaded by the Geckos.... better not tell the mini HB's else they will have their bags packed ready to impose themselves on you!!!!.... (any chance of a picture of one????)

Was sitting on the stairs a couple of weeks ago when I came face to face with a BL@@DY HUGE FLIIPIN' GREAT HAIRY SPIDER - dog saw it and scoffed it!!!!

 

There's one under our fridge :eek: ...and I aint going to get it out...that's Mrs Pals job!!
They bite you know!

 

I'll send the dog round!!!!

 

Sooner the better!..I've got my feet resting on the chair stringer incase it attacks me!!!! :eek:

 

Wooss! A big armoured man like you afraid of an itsy, bitsy, teeny, weeny spider! Shame on you!

In sayig that, must admit I won't pick one up ... just ignore them and assume they'll go away! :D :D ... but then I'm a girlie! :D

 

We've got Henry who is quite big and fat who lives under our telly and most nights scuttles out across the floor to under the sofa. Seems a nice lad but never stops to speak.(Only mentioned this to show we've a TV and sofa :D )

On our first holiday in Greece many years ago we were right out in the sticks in a house built against a hillside and we got gigantic spiders. One was so big that I could feel it walking over me through the sheet I was sleeping under

 

.... and you lived to tell the tale, Dave! :D :D Are you still quaking or is that why your avatar friend (sorry, forgot his name) is nervy?
