Found this little one in my bathroom, was in the corner so I left them to it but they moved and kept dropping down into my sink so to stop an accident I have caught little one up but I am having problems finding an I'd.
When they lived on the ceiling in the corner I thought they were one of the many steatoda that live in my home but after catching them up n getting a good look we don't look like the steatoda in colour or markings, the web the hanging upside-down in the web all tick the right box but the rest is off.
Spider is maybe 1cm dls was found in the North East of the uk likes to drop from the web when disturbed and lives on the underside of the messy web they made.

Sorry the pics aren't better but spood is tiny in a cloudy pot and won't stay still once the light touches them. I will try and get better pics later once it's daylight (6am here 😆) and I am to curious to wait to post 😂.

Zygiella x-notata. Though the species usually makes orb webs, not messy ones.
Thank you! ... should I put little one bk outside? I assume if they build orb webs they belong out not in? Or should I wait for it to warm up out there it's only 1° atm.
