I am in a deep state of shock. While spending a Saturday evening in my flat, happily playing Fifa 09 and chatting to Claire on MSN, one of the biggest spiders of all time casually walked from under my media centre, and into the room.
I would be lying if I said I didn’t jump up and run off screaming. The spider was massive – the size you would expect to find in the jungle! This is Somerset, though, not the Amazon! You shouldn’t be getting beasts this size in England!
Suffering from arachnophobia, I always have a tin of spider-killer to hand. I don’t like using it because of the chemicals it contains, but due to fear, I have absolutely no choice but to. Standing well, well back from the ferocious creature, I sprayed it. The spider then ran off behind by sofa – great! The only thing worse than having a spider in front of you, is having one in your house, but not knowing where it is!
It wasn’t long before the beast of Bath ran out from the sofa, looking for revenge. I was ready for it and unleashed half a can of spider killer onto it. This seemed to work and I was able to trap it under a pint glass.
It is now dead, but I am feeling far from safe. God knows how many others have found their way into my flat…

Most of the stories I post on my blog are about me, which, unsurprisingly, is why the website is called Sean's Stories.
In a change to the norm, today I'll be telling a tale from my mum - mainly because it is as funny as it is horrific.

Anyone who knows me well or has read this blog for any length of time, will know that I suffer from a phobia of spiders.
I don't know when this fear began. It was certainly... - Snug As A Bug
People say that you should never tempt fate, and this is something that I may have inadvertently done, in writing Wednesday's blog, about the girl with the spider hoody.
Yesterday afternoon, I was lying in bed, following an enjoyable few hours spent downstairs with Claire and Roman.
Back in bed, my feet were getting hot, so Claire... - The Hangover From Hell
In today's blog, I am going to tell you of one of the most horrific and frightening stories, I have ever had the displeasure of reading.
No, it isn't Boris Johnson's 2020 Manifesto. Although that is terrifying, this tale is far scarier!

The clocks have now gone back, I had a good night's sleep and have now settled down to blog the second installment of my Friday Frights, while Claire watches Liverpool play Spurs.
Where did we finish off last night? Oh yes, I had cleaned Neil Warnock and nursed him back to full, loud health. No idea...
About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
