    I'd just leave it, it'll probably starve to death but then I'm not bothered by spiders.

    Probably should come clean to Mrs GP though, and if necessary she can help you move all the books:D

    Thanks Jo and 365.

    GP - ask the spider himself, to help move all the books. As he agrees to, he wouldve inadvertantly come out.

    Just as he's realising though, and before he can scuttle of again, you can then drop him off in the garden and let him roam free outside, making all manner of (to him) continental friends :-)

    Good Luck!

    G'night all,

    Sim x

    PS - Marru - another sober star for me please - Been sober since last Friday :-)

    By the sound of it Maman, I doubt Mrs GP would enter the room let alone empty the bookcase where the killer spider is hiding!

    Some great successes on here tonight, especially you sim. You've had a very productive day, well done:T I should take that job and try the voluntary work too. Personally I find keeping busy makes it much easier to not drink.

    Have a good night's sleep everyone.

    8AF for me please.

    I'm playing the law of averages here. there's a 95% chance that the spider will never emerge again (of if it comes out tonight, one of the cats will get it).

    If I fess up, I'll be in a world of pain...Will let you know if I'm still alive tomorrow.

    Night all!

    Even if the spider does turn up, how can she tell it was the same one? Just tell her there must have been two.

    Spiders are nice; don't understand what all the fuss is about:D
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    26 days for me please WBF and a lovely shiny star Marru - thank you.

    Leave Wincey where he is bless him - he's safer behind the bookcase than if he'd ventured out into any offspring bedroom in my experience!

    Apologies to drag out this smiley again, but it's exactly how I feel.

    AF last night and totally exhausted today.

    Must remember to dump the beer that's in the boot today.

    Now with all this talk of spiders, I'm off :eek:

    (and YM/Lurks, if you DARE post pictures of the hideous things I will revolt!!!)

    Have a good day.
