On a similarly spiderish theme

So I get home from work and open the front door to notice a huge spider looking up at me. I jump over it and slam the door and run away quickly. As I take my shoes off and put them on the pile (moving house chaos) another big spider runs out from under a shoe and hides under some others. I leap back and then another appears. This time I am prepared and smack it. 3 down, 2 left.

The doorbell rings and it's the plumber come to give us a quote for an electric shower. I open the door on tip toe trying not to be anywhere near the first big spider. The 2 plumbers stare at me in amazement. I quickly explain I cant go anywhere nearer as there's a spider. One of the plumbers bends down and says "Well it's dead now" - I assume from where I slammed the door - and he took it outside.

Tim and Mark get home and I make them search every shoe for the remaining spider which they take outside.

Please note: I am not a spider hater - I do not wish them dead merely wish them out of my presence, however, should one catch me unawares when I have no way of getting them outside or they are extremely large and no-one else is likely to be near me anytime soon then I have to end things. If you are a spider reading this please don't plague me for revenge...

Oh the joys of being a houseowner. You wait until you are faced with an army of ants, or the odd mouse, or a hobbit or something!
