The embarrassing thing really though is that I used my baby sons potty for the rest of the day

I remember once coming back from the stables, I walked across the kitchen, put kettle on, and felt something scratchy on my neck, which I thought was a bit of hay, so I just brushed it off with my hand.......... only to see the biggest tarantula (well, it was huuuge!!!) land on the worktop and hide behind the tea caddy!!!
That totally freaked me out and I collapsed in a heap on the floor, the mere thought of that thing being on my neck, and body for how long??? Oh I hate them with a passion! Then there was the time I was riding out with a friend, I was in front of her, ducking under some low branches, and she says to me "do you mind spiders H?" So I asked her why, and then wished I hadn't coz she said I had a humungous one on my back, you don't want to know what happened next!!!!
Some friend hey!!!!

I thought to myself will just rinse my hair and get out of here pronto - as i felt something land on my head - started freaking out ripped back the shower curtain, screaming, heard my OH come pounding down the stairs thinking i was getting murdered, he arrived just as I wrapped the towel round me and looked to make sure it was gone - looked down to see GIGANTIC SPIDER looking at me from the safety of the towel !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dropped towel and bolted naked out of the bathroom with my OH p**ing himself laughing until he followed and walloped his head on the beam that you had to remember to duck when you exit bathroom !!! felt much better after that !! LOL
im sure it was shaza?? on here put a photo up of one in her pool in spain it was bloody mahoosive

How did you take that pic?????? I swear the b*****d is winking at ya!!!!! I'd have been miles down the road by now. I can't believe how big the spiders are in the U.K. When I first moved here, I used to sit on the hearth in front of mum and dad's electric fire until I saw a 'tarantula' doing the limbo as it came out from under the fire one day! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh, never again
PMSL at Dani's story of the one stepping over the rings on the shower curtain. Eeeeeeeeeeek!!!!!!

I managed to point the camera in the general direction and clicked and fled
