:shock::shock::shock::shock:

it was around the size of the palm of my hand & that is NOT exaggerating, & it kept running at me, then went into like an attack position ? with its front up :shock:, so I scooped him up in a bucket & took him outside, while OH stood as far away as pos :lol::lol:

pic from the front, bit blurry though :(

hehe thanks, Oh was like "stand on it stand on it !" but I couldn't hurt an animal, I mean ok I can't say I like spiders lol :lol:, but I couldn't just kill him, so just got him in a bucket & out he went :D
 
Possibly a house spider (Tegenaria gigantea). They can be huuuuge!
Can't think of anything else that would get that big in the UK, but I'm no expert on spiders.

Mmm, could be, I didnt know they could get huge though *worried look*

Also, try 'wold spider' - 'trochosa ruricola'
