Icky icky wah wah

Sitting down at the computer last night after I had gotten home from a meeting. Turned the screen off and got up. Turned around and there on the ceiling above the computer desk was a massive massive spider!! So after I had calmed down and realised that it was not reasonable to ring dad and get him to get it for me. I had to think about how I was going to deal with it. I didn't want to squash it with a shoe or something as that meant I had to get close to the horrible thing. Another factor was that it would fall behind the computer desk. (a big desk with shelves above my head with the printer, folders and filing on it.)

So after some deliberation. (had to be quick in case it disappeared) I decided that I would have to risk the falling spider and chose death by foam. So spray away I did! And the bloody thing did fall behind my printer. So in the few terrifying seconds that it was there I was debating what to do, when it came running out from under the desk. Now I am truly thankful it ran towards my chair than somewhere else and I wouldn't see it. Having said that though. I have now invented a lovely dance and it is amazing how light on my feet I can be. But the little sucker came running out to only look down the nozzle of my $5 can of fly spray.

Here is a little tip. Copious amounts of fly spray sprayed onto lino will make the lino shine as if it is brand new!! It also produces a little toxic wading pool for the 8 legged mammoth thing. He did eventually tuck those 8 legs up and died. I scooped him up with the dust pan and broom (the long handle ones as I was not getting anywhere near him) and ditched him outside.

The I sat down and waiting for my heart to return to its normal programming!
