We had spider related drama. Miniest was making her bed this morning and came running with hysterical screaming she saw a spider on the floor, which she said darted quickly under her bed. Of course it disappeared before I got there to help. Elder grabbed a torch (even though he is also scared of spiders) and we went over the room. No spider. Then an over the door coat hook thing fell on his head and hit his face, so he retired with an ice pack and some unsavoury language. I pulled the wardrobe away from the wall, stripped beds etc., investigated the room thoroughly with a vacuum cleaner on hand for undesirables. Cleaned the room within an inch of existence. The only disturbing thing I found was a hole in the plaster made by Mr P (when he was "cleaning" some time in the past) which he hid by rearranging the furniture and placing the wardrobe in front of it ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธ I temp fixed the hole but have found no spider. Now Miniest is suspicious of the bedroom and elder is sitting on her bed with her and distracting her with YouTube videos. He's a good brother.
