I've escorted another 2 out of the house today... found one yesterday when I was fitting some lights to the stairs that lead to the 'basement' (brick block about 4 foot by 4 foot maybe... OK, maybe 5 foot, but not big enough to lie down in.) it was right at the point where you would put your hand when going underneath something that wasn't high enough... but at the same time you are still on the stairs and need that extra support....

diid I post the one in the quilt I came across last week?

Shall go off and find the picture.
 
here you go... 2 from last week and yes, they were as big as they look...
And I had literally just gotten out of bed and folded the quilt back!

When my daughter and her family were in Australia a few years ago, the girls (about 13 and 10 then) decided to play hide and seek. The younger one shut herself in an empty wardrobe in the spare bedroom. It was only when the light went on and she was found that she realised what she had been sharing the wardrobe with - 3 of them! And she is more scared of spiders than any of the rest of us :ohmy:

these ones are harmless, just very large. They are social huntsman spiders so I generally get the extra large spider catching kit and well, catch them .... she says cringing... and escort them well off the premises. The bigger or nastier the spider the further away it goes. To date I haven't had many poisonous ones, but I do check the tomatoes before picking them because they do so like my studio as a home for catching their prey! I just wish they didn't use the tomato plants as ambush points!
 
When my daughter was very young, I heard the most awful screams coming from her bedroom in the middle of the night. A big spider was crawling across her face - English, so not as big as the Australian ones, but big enough.

And I think yet another thread has been high-jacked :unsure:
 
A temporary one is OK... single page, its when it goes on for several that its an issue... and I do find them in my tomatoes, just not in my fridge (yet!)... but I don't store the tomatoes in the fridge which would be the reason..... I could move the posts..... :whistling:

'Never put your tomatoes in the fridge - and nine other foods you're storing wrong' reports the Telegraph. Well personally I've never stored any of the foods listed in the fridge but what about you?

Storebought tomatoes never go in the fridge - the tomatoes in the supermarkets are never ripe, I usually try to buy them weekly and in enough bulk to keep us in supply of decent full flavoured tomatoes.

My neighbour borrowed a tomato a few years back & came back to ask why my tomato tasted so good. He never puts his tomatoes in the fridge now either.

Unless my garden is going fabulously in summer or I buy a huge box that are actually ripe directly from a grower - at this point I start making preserves.

We have hot summers but usually we are eating fresh from garden tomatoes then.
