Allow me a whinge. How bloody big and horrible are these things? That's rhetorical by the way. And is it the season for them or something? My god, we've had heaps in the house, they're usually in the kitchen really early in the morning when we get up for work. There was a very big one there this morning so I just grabbed my coffee and left. 
Now I know I'm from the land of big and dangerous spiders but I swear I never had so many spiders actually in the house until I lived here.

We had one living with us called Alfred but then he left - I wonder if we'll get another this year?
I left a mug on the coffee table last night, got up this morning and a spider had made a web on it!
I just let my kitten kill mine (If they are too big for me to put them outside that is
Tramploines on yer coffee cup?
cool:D
Drum, I gotta say I think I prefer the bloody flies.
I have to wave a broomstick out of the front door every morning so I don't get a faceful of web when I go outside.
Spiders themselves don't bother me, I just wish they would be a bit more considerate about where the build there webs!
Me too.....a friend described the big ones as 'having elbows'... I know exactly what he means
I just bought Charlotte's Web to send to my 7 year old niece. That was a small spider though.
Oh, I hate that. It's always happening to me. The neighbours must wonder why I frequently go through some sort of flailing about ritual outside the front door, when actually I'm trying to rid myself of bloody web all over my face.:mad:

The sight of one of them falling out of your pyjama bottoms is one you will never forget
Flies? What flies? It's been too blimmin' cold for flies where I live! That's why the giant spiders are coming into my house too! :eek:
You big wuss. Our spiders are friendly.
and they are getting bigger and bigger! i need my hubby to get rid of them for me! i actually freeze.......well if i don't have time to run away first! i'm getting shivers just thinking about them! YUK!!
Aha, that's why we catch them in the house just before the sun comes up.
What does that do?
We actually don't have that many in our house. I don't mind small spiders but if they get any bigger than a pin head, I start screaming
We've been getting loads of daddy long legs though
i) Keep all windows shut, especially in the evenings
ii) Keep all doors, internal and external, shut
iii) Push rolled-up towels under all external doors at night
iv) Fill wash basins with water
They do enter the house at night. I literally *heard* one falling onto my carpet a few summers ago after it came in through the window I had inadvertently left open.
