Spiders

Had to retire upstairs because the biggest spider just crawled accross the lounge floor. No one in the house to deal with it, and I am not willing to try out my phobia cure just yet.

Oh no, grizzly - dont like spiders. I used to live in an old cottage (I was 8 at the time). No proper plumbing - outside toilet. You know whats coming dont you? The brick building (proverbial brick sh**t house) had a sloping roof and where the roof met the floor was a nest of webs that housed some of the largest spiders known to mankind that must have been lurking since the dawn of time - a whole new species had evolved and interbred in that toilet. Double bodies, triple bodies - eyes on stalks. Oh hideous. Imagine being stuck on the toilet - not a nice quick wee wee but having to sit it out with those beasts closing the space between the door and your dangling feet. (Shudder)

Still get the shakes when in toilets unless they are beautifully modern. Still get the heebie jeebies at spiders... and relax! Trouble is I cant relax, I know its down there in the lounge somewhere, and I dont know where it is, which means that it could run out at any moment. Panic fluster...
