It also took up most of the afternoon so the newly delivered kitchen is still in boxes...in the garage!
We have almost finished putting together our second cupboard, a big cupboard when we discovered this little fella!!! EEK!
It's only about 1cm big but I have never seen a spider like it before...any ideas as to what it is? We have it in an old tupperware pot at the moment!

Wow
I have never seen a sprider like this one.
Urgh, I've got shivers going down my spine. I HATE spiders but I've just spent 5 minutes googling pictures of them, and now I can feel things crawling on me.
Haven't found a picture of your spider anywhere, but there's a good insect/spider ID request thread on Flickr

If i was in my house I'd be checking the lid every few minutes to makesure it was safely trapped.
I have been googling it too, I can't find anything similar either... was it in your cupboard box or was it just in your house...

I just googled as well and it looks like a crab spider. They're a garden spider, not deadly. Apparently they come in a range of different types and colours, too.
Eek. I would have freaked! I hope it is a crab spider - I read an article on Yahoo this week which says that there is now a spider spreading in the UK which is one of the Widow family and it's venom can kill a human! (It doesn't look like this one though so don't panic).I think you can contact the RSPCA to ask them to identify it or a local zoo. Good luck!
I found this...
