I was attacked.
In my own bloody kitchen.
I was bending down to put a freshly washed and dried frying pan back into the lower cupboard and as I stood back up straight I spotted the spider on the overhead cupboard.
Now, I am a man with nerves of steel and the suave and exremely cool composure of James Bond...So I stood perfectly still and eyed the 8 legged freak. It eyed me back and jumped at me.
So, I basically bolted it! I ran out of the kitchen and tripped over a kiddie pram and went flying into the living room. Alas, my leg remained in the hall and I bent around the door post like a big sack of feathers.
So now I have a sore leg and am feeling very sorry for myself. And I don't dare back into the kitchen.
My diet coke and chocolate's in there and my house mate isn't home to save me....

Just make sure it doesn't bite your leg.
Wolf spiders of the genus Lycosa have been implicated as one of a group of spiders responsible for bites which cause massive tissue damage and maddening pain. This process of tissue death is known as "necrosis" and necrosis from animal venom is usually self limiting and not gangrenous. But in the case of damage from spider bites, known as "necrotising arachnidism", the loss is extensive and irreversible, reaching through all layers of skin. The Black House spider (Badumna), along with the Wolf spider are two spiders whose bites have been known to cause this damage. Scientists are still battling to come up with a way of arresting the necrosis apart from amputation. Skin grafting cannot be considered while the rotting continues.

When you enter your kitchen next, there will three or four of them at least, with one assuredly perched just above the kitchen doorway.

My advice: burn the kitchen to the ground.
