Next morning I found a dead spider with a big fat glob of a hairy body about the size of a 10 pence piece lying dead on the floor.
Thank goodness I wasn't asleep with my mouth open
Imagine waking with all those legs stuck in my teeth.
The same thing happened to my son too, Morty.
He said he felt it tickling his face during the night.
I also remember last winter I picked my pillow up to squash it about, and a big fat spider had been sitting underneath it - I'd been laying on it and never knew.
I have looked under my pillow every night before i get into bed since!
I am finding a lot of those thin, whispy ones at the mo, those ones with legs no thicker than a hair. I don't mind them so much, it's the big black, thicked legged ones that run at 90 mph I don't like.
