I can't see the pics

Oh bummocks.  I can see them.  Or am I in a majority of 1..???

changed browser and still no see

I'll try and sort it, erin.

I may be gone some time

your not kidding when you say that

*leaves thread non the wiser*

I think I may have done it

It's Pedro the spider, Jen

it's Big Pedro the spider! !  

How the hell did he fit under the sofa?! 

he could wear a couple of cushions and disguise himself as a three seater, that one!

I think he limbo'ed

God, it made me shudder and I'm in a different country...

NO WAY, that looks like some shoelaces or string stuck to the wall.

Me too Jackon ... It almost put me off my breakfast (almost!)

So am I now.  And Pedro got evicted before I left

Oh if only, Vids! 

I had gin for brekky that day

OMG that's hooooooooooge 

*shudders*  that's huge!

T'was a beastie

you do realise he's picking the locks and moving the family back in as we type though?

Crikey that's massive. Unfortunately I know which one of my family would have been the one to evict it.

*eek*   

AaAaAaAahhhhhhh I'd run for the hills!!!

That's one mean, scary looking critter.

Nah.  Last seen clutching his passport and en route for Scotlandshire

And therein lies another story.

Mr. Cosi went and got a pint glass and a piece of paper to do the scoopy-uppy thing.  All the while he was muttering about ME not sorting it (I am Spider Grabber usually).

The glass wouldn't fit over Pedro - it was too small ... and boy could this spider move.  Like Usain Bolt of the arachnids.

Finally caught him with a wide necked jug followed by a quick flick over the balcony.

Tell me about it!   

I was already up in the hills, Bethni.  I reckon he wore crampons

Erin!  Now it's my turn to say I can't see your pic  

would love to have watched that. Did you see my spider tale from a few weeks back in the 'stuff' thread? I'm imagining the results if my spider had been the size of Pedro.

Apparently I was never scared of spiders when I was a toddler, mum always used to come and ask me to get them out of the bathroom for her.

I'd pick them up and put them outside, I think it was the way mum asked that turned me off them.

''C'mere, quick, get it , get IT, let me get away, don't get IT near me, get IT, get IT.GET IT, DON'T LET IT NEAR ME, GET IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT.''

- There was always a lot of pointing and indecipherable squealings too.

That was huge fecker...would I have stayed in the house? Not a chance 

Aye... probably coming here to see his big bro...

 that's one horrible eight legged fiend  I would have been on the next plane back 

I'm going to scroll through and find it in a mo, Cinds

Mildred..! (JB), I'm chief (and only) spider catcher in this house.

Usually I just grab them with my bare hands and sling them out of the window.  I'd need hands like a navvy for Pedro though (once I'd stopped shrieking like your mum )

What Kaytee said ^^^^^^^

I moved outside for the duration, don't you worry about that!

I hedged my bets and guessed that he was under the dresser in the hallway.  Wasn't expecting him to walk through the lounge and out onto the balcony nearly 20 hours later

Getting on a plane would have been overly drastic though;  not even Pedro could get me to do that willingly

A haggis with legs doesn't count, K-Bo
