I would rather jump out of a plane than so much as even touch a spider,i get all freaked out and start getting sweaty palms even when they are on Telly!!
That's the way I feel too, Erin; when there's a pic of one in a magazine I have to turn the page quickly! And Black Widow and Brown Recluse spiders are poisonous, although I don't know if you have them in the UK...I hope not!!!

Re: Your gonna think Im stupid but......


I'm with you there as far as spiders go. They freak me out. Once when OH was away I noticed a spider on the bedroom ceiling while I was reading in bed. I crept out of the room( quietly so that it wouldn't notice) got the vacuum cleaner, held the nozzle against the ceiling and sucked it up.

Then I switched the light off and settled down to sleep, suddenly had a thought! and put the light on again. That spider might creep out of the vacuum cleaner and lie in wait for me somewhere! So I got one of OH's socks and stuffed it in the end of the vacuum cleaner tube, only then could I settle down to sleep

I'm sending Tucker over right now, he is ACE at catching spiders, never misses, and he eats them!

Seriously though, I hope you don't worry yourself too much, and you're not as silly! I'm scared of people in big novelty mascot type suits and everyone laughs at me and think i'm weird but they just really freak me out! Always have done since being little, I don't really know why I just get a shiver up my spine I HATE them! I'd much rather be scared of spiders at least it is a rational fear!

Random, were you frightened by a clown when you were a child? I've heard of people who were, and that could easily carry over to people in grotesque mascot suits...I think they're kind of creepy myself.....

Erin - could you use this device? If so, it could help you cope when Ed's not around.
