Spider update - My Mum is my hero, she hoovered it up for me.

it was really big. I ran away from the hoover afterwards.

and I nearly cried.

I am going to buy a broom. I can get rid of them with a broom.

Jinky I hope you are ok. xxxxxx OH should shift it for you. There must advantages to having a bloke.

I agree, although since I don't have kids I'm not really one to be giving advice!

Toto

Thanks, I was beginning to think I was just being a mean old cow. Of course all of her friends parents are letting them do it. *rolling eyes smiley* I just told her to go and get adopted by them then, because they obviously have more money than sense.

Buffy you could get one of those sucky-up-spider thingys - not as big as a broom. and male pal that had one thought it was wonderful (he convinced any visiting females it was all to do with ecological balance and not fear of crawley things).

apparently they work really well! Imagine your OH's face if I turned up with 9 yr old to do his job though...might convince him to behave and do it with less fuss!
