Stay safe and be happy there was only on in the car and not a family of huntsman


Ah, my thoughts exactly   :-X  God I hope not, it really could be so dangerous whilst driving....a few years ago I wouldn't have been able to do it, but I couldn't call my neighbour every time one showed up, so I just had to deal with it myself *still shuddering*

Maddy that's something I always fear, especially when I've forgotten to wind the window up at night.  I've  had it happen to me just as I arrived somewhere so I raced in and sought help.  I could never have gotten back in that car to drive back home if the spider hadn't been killed. I'm glad you didn't post that last night, I would have had trouble getting to sleep with that image on my mind.

Gosh Maddy, you did a good job.  Hoping the fires stay under control and DH can get a break.

Oh Maddy I had the same thing happen to me, I was dropping DD off one night, I was in my Pjs. We were driving along the freeway and DD says mum I think you better pull over now. I hadn't seen it under my sun visor, it must have been a funny site, me in my Pjs jumping out of the car. Don't go out in your PJ cause something will go wrong lol.
I child-proofed my house, but they still get in!

You are a brave girl Maddy. :D  I can cope with small spiders but hate anything large.

DS came in this morning to say that they had to evacuate last night as lightening set fire to some of their bush.  Luckily the fire brigade were just down the road attending to a fire in another property so they were quickly scene and soon had everything under control.  Fortunately there was no wind or the outcome would have been a lot different.

The  man who said it can't be done should not interupt the woman doing it.

Jen...LOL, it's true isn't it....never go out in Pj's, no  underwear & a without a bra so I found out  :-))  early school run & guess who got a flat tyre  :-X

Mab...it's scary...problem is the fires flare up the next day, which is the case here...the radio is going berserk & hubby just took off again.

My 2nd freak out of the week...the aircon was blowing out hot air  :o (ducted evaporative)....luckily hubby fixed it this morning, it was an air pocket in water pipe...PHEW!

Maddy what a few days you've had. I'm hopeless with spiders in the car.

Hope the fires stay under control and everyone is safe.

very brave maddy ever since I watched a movie when a lady put the sun visor down and a spider jumped on her lap I've always either put it up or down before getting in the car::)
ds8 had his blood test yesterday for his bee allergy he was very brave depending on the results we may have 3yrs of desensitization ahead of us I'm hoping it's not the case.
Today off to speech with Lily and then school shoe shopping

Maddy you definitely deserve the bravery award. Congratulations. I know a girl who rolled her car because of a spider.

Folks I have heard that Adelaide may be the hottest city on the planet today. Try and stay cool SA and Vic and NSW members. I feel for you. Take care.  :-*
