Have pity on @withaveeay today. He had just drifted off into a deep sleep last night while I was reading "just one more page" of my murder mystery, when he was rudely awoken by my dancing around the bedroom trying to catch a spider the size of a side plate running across the bed.
Okay maybe not a side plate, but definitely a soup ladle.
He joined in the "there! get it!" game before the spider had finished having its fun and ran off to who knows where, leaving us wide awake, adrenalin pumping.
I feel for you both I really do but I do not understand how you could both go back to sleep knowing that HUGE spider is still lurking in your room !!!?????
I'd have had to have slept else where.

@justine @withaveeay Oh it was gone 1.00am before I drifted off. Himself took a while too but he was soon snoring contentedly. At one point it ran inside the duvet cover through the gaps between the buttons at the bottom, and I did fret for quite a while wondering if it was still inside the duvet cover. But eventually sleep took hold.
You're a braver woman than me as I could not return to that room until I was shown it either being escorted out of the premises or it's cold dead carcus. Sorry but that's just me as for some stupid reason I'm absolutely terrified of them no matter the size? Give me wasps and I'm fine.

@justine @withaveeay We did have a bat in the bedroom one night ..... it was a while before my heart stopped racing that evening. Spiders I'm okay with - I mean I don't like the idea of them crawling on me but I can catch and chuck out most of them. I have one that permanently lives in my shed and eats all the bugs. But flapping wings ...... *shudder*. Be it a bee, a fly, a bat, a bird - I'm not good with flappy wings.
