Spiders are not my favourite things in all the world. I have an irrational and irritating horror of them. dpack im quite fond of em ,even big scarey bitey ones (small toxic bitey ones are a cause for caution if local (or on their hols in a parcel umm dont ask )) unexpected ones are ...unexpected Woo When I was a child I was terrified of them. I think it started when I was told off at around 2 for deconstructing a pile of insects with the older girls next door. 'all gods creatures' was mentioned by my strict mother. I suspect my terror comes from a more severe telling off then that!!! I couldn't be in the room with them after that and all my nightmares featured them. since becoming a mother I have learned to pick them up with a glass and piece of paper and relocate them to the outside. except for Charlotte the spider we left on the landing in her web to help the children overcome any fears. we would flick flies into the web for her and they now have no fear. They still make me jump when a particularly big one strolls through the room moving the furniture out of its path!

NorthernMonkeyGirl	Did you hear about the episode of Peppa the Pig banned in Australia? IT was one teaching children not to be scared of spiders.

there is a good reason the creator put deadly sharks around that piece of land. just about everything will kill you!!! didn't they choose it as a prison you weren't expected to survive?

Should have banned the flippin lot. There is still a pan of brownies up as a reward if anyone can find one I haven't seen. dpack

im sorry ,i didnt mean to upset folk .my recent encounter was a surprise rather than horror .

when i nearly hand grabbed a brown recluse to pop it outside was horror ,it probably hitched a lift in my parcel from america as that had arrived a couple of days earlier.
fortunately i thought it "unusual but i had seen a picture ..." so a glass and the interweb got a proper id .they are not very dangeroos but are usually painful

most uk ones dont nip people and the couple that do are not very dangeroos so dont worry .

i just find em a bit "surprising "rather than scarey

my chums chilean pink was sweet with me even though he was a bit scared of it and preferred the red legged ones ,maybe im too stupid to be scared Woo

Not to be alarmist, it was a few years ago, but when I was a student Nurse there was a lady I cared for who had several fingers of one hand amputated following a bite from a spider she found while pruning the roses, in sleepy West Sussex.

I hoped I would be rid of it when my daughter got older but my youngest got hooked...
