Your gonna think Im stupid but......

[Erin]

Im off to bed,Im not tired,I just can not relax knowing there is a massive spider somewhere in the living room Ive got myself all work up and am now feeling sick Ed isnt here to catch it for me and the cats let it get away.
I sound really pathetic now dont I but im absolutely terrified of spiders and this one was huge!!!!!
My heart is going to thud its way out of my chest in a minuet!!

[Moli]

Don't think you are stupid Erin, lots of people are scared of spiders.....

I am an absolute wimp about spiders, Erin, they give me the horrors! I hope Ed gets home soon to see to it; I couldn't sleep at all knowing it was there and might walk on me in the night.....(shudder!).

I was going to take the piss Erin but actually thought for a moment before posting (note to self, must try that more often) and decided not to.
I am sorry you have a phobia of spiders, not very nice. I am like that about worms which is why I never get round to doing that damned garden of mine.

I cant even move off the sofa to get upstairs to go to bed Eileen,Im really freaking out here

[dandysmom]

I really sympathize, there is something so awfully creepy about them and they move so fast...... I hate even to get close enough to them to stomp them, but have to since my Dad died........

I dont know where it is Mags,it ran off behind the sofa but we have all the boxes with the new kitchen in there so it could be anywhere,Ive just done a run for it so im up stairs now,still cant relax though.Milo is doing alot of scratching behind one of the boxes down stairs so im hoping he has had it

I will,if I get to sleep before ed gets home that is
I have no idea why I hate them so much,I know they cant hurt me.
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!!
