They’re not all that common… but your comment has reminded me just how nasty they are. I’ve not seen one since I put this post up. Thank goodness. Urgh!

This is horrendous!! I can’t help but keep looking at it. I spent several months working in Australia but fortunately never came across one of these beauts!

[...] In his favour I must say that unlike recent visitors he’s not poisonous nor will he try to perpetrate any bites upon me. [...]

Wow – we don’t get spiders like that over here in the UK! That is amazing.

Currently considering moving to the land down under, it has always been my parents dream but never gone through with it. I have taken over that dream and intend to live it out!

Is that just a normal day to day spider? I mean is that normally the ones you would see on a day to day basis.

My partner is australian and we currently live in the UK, one of the things that puts me off is the spiders, how can one country have so many deadly creatures.

Hi Kirsty,
Looks harmless to me – it’s only small

This has proved essential for catching daddy long legs and it doesn’t even harm them or spiders and other creepy crawlies:

Apparently humans eat loads of spiders and other creepy crawlies when they crawl into our mouth’s while we’re asleep… oh you’re definitely going to need a mossie net fitted over your bed now! Soooorrrrrrrrrrrryyyyyyyy xJoe

Hey Milo, I think I’d be inclined to wait and see what they will do with their commission structure after Christmas. In the meantime I’d look at perhaps using La Senza (their seduction undies convert pretty well) and other lingerie merchants such as Be Cheeky (who have lots of exclusive lingerie ranges). Knickerbox, Ann Summers, and Love Honey could be good for the more naughty stuff as well.

Then if Figleaves still look like a decent bet at the end of January you could always try to give them a punt. Personally speaking, I will do nothing more to promote Figleaves. They do convert well mind you, but if they slash their commissions again (and I believe they will) that benefit will be eroded.

Good luck, please let me know how you get on with your site!

Hi Kirsty,
Long time reader of your blog and always look forward to your posts. I was just about to start a Valentines site and was looking to add figleaves as my lingerie affiliate, but after everything that has happened i’m not sure now, if you were starting from scratch would you add them?

@ Matt, You’re probably right. I’ll consider that screen when the cost of the wedding and house purchase vanish over the horizon a wee bit.

@ Chris – Ah come on now… you said I should put in a warning and I did! Just for you

@ Nick, that pole is NOWHERE near long enough for me. I’d have to fit it with an extension.

@ Karen – Oh, how true. You definately need valium to be a Figleaves affiliate these days.

@ Steven – I promise the Redback will be gone by the time you get back from Dubai (it’ll be dead of old age by then at this rate!!)

Just remember Kirsty, they are more scared of you than you are of them. Or have we just disproved that theory? Either way, I better get on that plane from Dubai and head on over for that BBQ before it’s…erm…too late. But let’s meet at a neutral venue, eh? Cuts down on the dishes. No other reason. Honest.

I was going to get you one of these as a stocking filler as well – http://www.prezzybox.com/products/index.aspx?pid=4392. I’m thinking under the circumstances that’s not such a crash hot idea.
