My apologies to our neighbours, who would almost certainly have heard screaming and shouting from our house this evening. Claire and I were not trying to murder each other – we were dealing with the first (and hopefully last) gigantic spider of 2014. I was happily downstairs, preparing lunch for work tomorrow, when I heard Claire shriek from the bathroom. She had spotted an eight-legged beast on our landing. I can’t deal with spiders at all, so Claire had to be the man of the house and deal with it. After lots of swearing and further screams, I managed to find a huge jar in the downstairs cupboard and bring it Claire to save the day. She eventually plucked up the courage to put the jar over it, something I would never be able to do. We then had the challenge of sliding paper underneath the jar, to flip it upside down. Five minutes followed, along with even more screams and profanities, but the spider was contained. We then walked it halfway up the street, in the middle of a thunder storm, forgetting any other phobias of lightning, and let it out on the pavement. I watched as it run off, in the direction of our neighbours houses. Cue mayhem in their house tonight when it finds its way under the front door.

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.
A few weeks ago, my mum woke up to... - Roman’s Pet Spider
It is said that people learn fears. I didn't believe that it was possible to catch fears, although it appears you can!
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!
Take a look at the photo below. What do you see? A woman in a... - I’ve Had Better Days: Part 2
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.
