Safety net.

So.......I may be a little less squeamish, after 2 years, when it comes to bugs and creepy crawlies but I still sleep under a net. Will hates it but it is my force field of protection.I have only seen two huntsmen spiders in the Man - Cave in that time which is not bad going but I did foil the entry of a Wolf Spider the other night when I spotted it acting suspiciously under the front door. I thought I'd squashed it with a towel, some of the offspring it was carrying on its back escaped and hurried away, but when I bravely went back to the towel the next day to check it was dead......found nothing.I hate that.Where the heck is it?I was tucked up in bed before Will last night and had been there about 10 minutes before he got in."Oh look," he said " at that big cockroach up there.....and it's in the net."He went and got a cup to catch it in......I got out of bed sharpish.It was a big American Cockroach.He caught it but dropped it climbing out under the net again. We found it crawling all over my shorts on one of my clothes shelves.He said it was moving slowly because it was full of eggs. I wish he had not told me that.I was under the impression he was going to deal with it humanely as he caught it alive but he flushed it down the loo........it probably would survive and it has 6 mice down there to feed on!No doubt it will be back again 10 times the size with a baseball bat."See," he said, " the net traps things in it!"I don't care. I would rather have it than not.......Who knows what is crawling around down here while we are sleeping?I got some sleep.....eventually....... because of the net.........and anyway the main reason for it is to stop being 'vampirised' by mosquitoes.One got me last night, after tea, upstairs in the lounge, on my inner thigh.......the first one in ages!No......the net stays!
