Spider in the Bed!

This morning I was innocently changing the bed sheets when out pops this beast of a spider.  Ok, maybe "beast" is a bit over the top but he certainly wasn't a baby.  Now I'm not particularly fussed by spiders but finding one in your bed is still a bit of a shocker.  You start to question how long he was hiding there.  Was he snuggled up to me last night?  Did he crawl across my face?  Was he nestled in Mystical Roo's beard?  So many questions and quite frankly not many answers.  The spider didn't seem happy when I tried to remove the bed sheets.  I'd obviously disturbed him.  I eyed him closely and decided he probably wasn't deadly.  Probably.  He certainly wasn't a Redback and didn't have any evil fangs or anything so I ruled him out as a Funnel Web too.  Those are the only deadly spiders that I'm aware of.  I'm not sure I've seen anything like him before.  He was fairly large, brown but not a Huntsman.  Nowhere near big enough to be a Huntsman.  Maybe he was a baby Huntsman?  He had a fairly large body but quite spindly legs.  So I told the spider that he was welcome in the house if he agreed to eat flies but he was not welcome in the bed.  Spiders in the house I can handle.  Spiders in the bed is just wrong.  So I urged him to climb aboard a few sheets of tissue and then promptly escorted him back into the lounge.  I can already hear the cries from Bear Z, Monster Noggin and El Kenco - kill the spider!  Squash the spider!  Don't let it out of your sight!  But I'm afraid he's well out of my sight.  I lost track of him when I returned to the removing of my bed sheets.  I just hope wherever he is, he's eating plenty of fruit flies!
