A couple of nights ago I noticed a spider on the wall just behind a cupboard. It was really big and had thick legs and in the dim light looked quite black so it looked like one of those toy spiders you see in joke shops. I wasn't sure if it was just a plastic one that someone had stuck on the wall as it didn't seem to be moving. I didn't want to prod it so I left it thinking that if it was real it would be gone the next time I checked for it.

Later that night I checked again and it was gone. Great, I've now got to sleep on the floor with the beast from arachnoland on the loose, and worse still, I generally sleep with my mouth open.

This morning I got up and after I'd packed my makeshift bed away I spotted something black and scary looking on the floor under where my bed had been. Here's a photo so you can see how close I came to mortal danger
