Well as being a singleton for over 2 years now i have had to be brave when it's come to those 8 legged freaks that are hated by most. No more man to come to my rescue to my horrified screams of SPIDER!!!

I have become quite the slipper ninja these last few months and have felt rather proud of myself, but just now i have had to cross over into a place i never thought i would venture.

Lying quietly in bed reading a book and minding my own business i spied movement on the pillow beside me. I flicked my eyes to the side and there was a big spider standing there bold as brass. Now 2 things flashed through my mind 1 dont crap yourself and 2 how the hell am i going to get my slipper off the floor and kill the bugger before it scurries away and hides?

Well dear fourmites this is where my cave woman self preservation kicked in.... without thinking and with the speed that would make a cricket bowler gasp i slapped down hard and squashed the bugger with my hand.

Now the heart is slowing down and the adrenaline is wearing off i cant help feel a little guilt as i remember the crunch under my hand, but then again i didnt invite him to stay the night so he got what he deserved haha

That's so cruel - & it may have been just about to pounce on an insect that you were about to unknowingly give blood to!!

Kind of like a little guard dog, really!

I was in A&E last week and saw a man with a spider bite the size of a cricket ball. Feel no guilt, he was sizing you up

I don't have any issues with spiders at all; there's one that scurries across our lounge carpet every evening. We call him Boris.

However, My view on spiders changed rapidly when I became the victim of a spider bite in the middle of the night. I turned over and squashed one on my pillow. Man did that bite ever hurt! And not just the pain!

My heart rate was 150, my blood pressure dropped so I felt most peculiar.

22 hrs later I was due to have a minor surgical procedure under general anaesthetic. There I was, in the anaesthetic room with a debate going on around me as to whether it was safe to anaesthetise me.

Well, the procedure went ahead but three months down the line I still get pulses of pain from the bite. There's no sign of it now but I can tell exactly where it was.

That was a false widow and apparently was drinking my dribble. Nice.

I hate spiders with a passion but would never kill one, I used to be shit scared of them but had to overcomet his fear to get rid of a giant, humanely. The thing is, spiders may look scary but they're relatively harmless and they eat all the other bitey little fuckers that you wouldn't even blink an eye at. So they are good to have about

I have one in my living room at the moment. I called him Linford as he's extremely fast. If he ever encroaches on my bed then he's in for your squashing hand technique..... He knew you were vulnerable just waiting for you to go to sleep. Evil 8 legged fiend yuck!

One of the widow family a recently new species here which seems

To have established its self in certain locations well in that case

One to look out for (one)as any other

Spiders that live here naturally and

Have done for centuries without any

Harm to anyone, any black widows rare

here as with tarantula,s are only here

Because of comeing over in a crate of

Banana,s etc previously and even the

Big spiders (tarantula) size are nothing to be really feared people keep them as pets the chance,s of People comeing up against the Tarantula we all first feared is Practically non existant here better

Chance,s winning the lottery as any of

Them are any way really I know I can,t

Prove that but don,t label every spider you see as a villain he might

Or she might look a bit fearsome close

To but no harm Intent, but I would like to add that the rare false widow

Is the exception of any other spiders

I know that live here...

Also the green fang spider. Rapidly spreading across the country with a bite equal to a wasp sting.

Never kill spiders they are fascinating creatures. A close look at one and you can see what amazing complex structures they are.

Wasps on the other hand deserve no mercy.

This is what I do. Am not keen on any creepy crawly or flutterer but couldn't kill them. Its the guilt afterwards that does for me.
