Not money saving, but if anyone will know - it'll be someone here!! Spiders!

And then this year working in Australia, I was cleaning the top of a blind and I thought I saw something move. But thinking Id imagined it (as wed been there for a month or so and I was trying to stop imagining seeing spiders everywhere I turned) so I carried on cleaning, and then over the top of the blind out came a massive Huntsman spider. I dont know how but I think i was so scared I didnt scream and just went running outside to get DH. Then one day he was outside and suddenly a Huntsman appeared on his arm, he tried to get it off and it ran up to his face!


AAAARRHHHHHHGGGHHH

Huntsmans. *shiver, shiver, shiver*

Visited an aunt while I was on holiday in Oz and stayed over for the night. She led me down a corridor to a lovely little room when it was time for bed and as she was closing the door on her way out casually mentioned they had caught 'one of the largest huntsmans I've seen for a while' while she was changing the bed. :eek:

Well that was it. I stayed awake all night with the light on.

And I won't go into the graphic details of a friend's friend over there who had an extractor fan installed - incorrectly apparently - and when she turned it on it spat out a nest of baby huntsmans into the room instead of outside into the bushes. :eek:

My Ozzie friend makes everyone laugh by the number of telephone directories she has all over the floors, underneath which lie dead spiders. She reckons a huge telephone directory dropped from a height and left in place for a week is the only way to be sure they are dead. And apparently they are dry by then and just hoover up nicely.:rotfl:
