I ran upstairs to my mother and slept on the pull out bed in the sitting room for the next month. Mr Spider was immense and sounds like a close relative of your friend.

I believe they are not indigenous to this planet and my fear is perfectly reasonable.<br />Did you know that we all eat a few spiders occasionally when they crawl into our mouths when we are alseep?

I never put the light on so I can't see if there is one watching me during my nocturnal trips to the loo. There was one at Hawkwood where I went for the workshop weekend. I had to put the light on there as I wasn't familiar with the place and as I sat down I noticed this very large spider in the corner behind the door. I actually spoke to it and said 'Now you just stay there' and to my great relief it did!Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06826501916623305535noreply@blogger.com
