Surprisingly this is the first spider I've seen in a few weeks since Ben gathered a bucket full of conkers which we left in the lounge as I had read on Cotswolds Family Life's blog that spiders are afraid of the smell of them. My husband found this amusing. He came across a few articles which said this information was well, bonkers - here's one of them from yesterday's metro.

In an effort to test it I took the conkers out of the lounge last night and well hey presto, spider appears!
So I'm sure everyone is wondering if my brave husband disposed of the spider for me this time. Well this is what I found...


Thanks Chris for making me laugh so much this morning - brilliant, but you do know I will be seeking revenge. Bring on the practical jokes!
