Someone told me today of an acquaintance who is a hoarder and has now been taken into a home

They said she had spiders as big as a hand there. I hate spiders and can't stop thinking of ones 'as big as your hand'. It'smade me feel all sick and shakey. I only saw her the other day and wish I had known of that than. I just know I am going to have one of my spider nightmares tonight.

Reading through my post I am thinking how selfish I am being thinking about me and not about my acquaintance. Apparently she had only a very small space where she sat and I can't believe I didn't know anything about it. Hope she is ok.

Fortunately I'm not scared of spiders, the ones I get in my house are so big they leave footprints. Don't know if this will help, (not sure how accurate it is) I was told the bigger the spider the closer to death it is.

Either way, you are bigger than the spider. Hope you don't have anymore nightmares.

Cheers.

We had a HUGE spider in our cloakroom last night - I sprayed it with all sorts of horrible things - and felt bad about being cruel to it - but still fee4l nervous whenever I go to the loo. Sad really because spiders are totally harmless (apart from poisonous ones).

I don't mind spiders. I just put them on a piece of kitchen paper and put

Them out the window.

Hope everyone is good today.

Same here or if they are really big I shepherd them into a glass and put a bit of card on top. I don't like killing things. I collected lots of snails in my garden one morning the other week and just couldn't kill them. So I took them in the ice cream container to a local common with the dog and released them back into the wild!

Hannah I hope you are doing okay. Big hugs.

I know where the fear comes from. When I was a kid I was with my mother in the bathroom and she pulled a loo brush out of it's holder and this huge hairy black spider ran out. She freaked out and so did I. I cannot to this day pull a loo brush out of the holder. :) x
