We had a similar thing when bathing the kids; we always used to flush the spiders down the plug hole and the kids said that's where they live.
One bath time they were worried about going too near the plug hole 'because of the spiders that live down there' and I told them not to be silly as no spiders lived down there.
Just as I'd finished saying that, the biggest spider leg you've ever seen started squeezing out of the over-flow hole followed by a rather ****ed-off looking spider!
The kids both had a fit but luckily I managed to get the spider down the plug hole after a few attempts!

I'd rather die peacefully in my sleep like my Grandfather,
than screaming in terror like his passengers.- Jim Harkins

Spider in the bath is nothing mate, out on Florida they get alligators coming up the bogs! Fancy that happening when the old plums are a dangling as you take a dump!

Still at least you've got the annual bath out of the way for 2009!

Funny thing is that I had another one in the bath this morning, no idea why they always seem to end up stuck down there.

Next doors 6 month old kitten took one look and ran out of the room!

Spider now safely running round the garden!

Jeez it sounds more like a feckin zoo than a bathroom, still I guess the kitten will start to sort out the rats once it has put on a bit of body mass.

You don't think it could be the same spider that had been put out in the garden only to "climb up the water spout"?

Must admit, even though I know we have no toxic spiders in this Country, after my visits to Australia I am always wary about the larger ones.

My Dad's cousin has a Funnel web spider nest in their back garden in Sydney and those are big, aggressive and highly dangerous!
