Just a very long-legged spider. Not your normal leg/body ratio.

Upon download & enlargement, a bit of noise becomes apparent.

Is this image already cropped? (excessive cropping causes pixelation)
What was your ISO? (high ISO causes noise)

Extreme crop to show noise & pixelation (grain).

Move close. Fill your frame. You will have narrower DoF, but better resolution.

We understand that working indoors can present obstacle problems, like walls & corners.

Your "Loo" spider may very well be a Cellar spider (Pholcus phalangioides). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellar_spider
