I was sat at my computer desk when this little spider came trotting up my monitor, it doesn't look like your normal house spider you get here in the UK.

I captured it it's only very small, and to me looks like a jumping spider, the ones with big eyes at the front, I did try and get a picture but it wont go down to the bottom so I can get anything decent.

It is certainly a spider I have never seen in UK before, heres a pic, best I could get for now, will try to get something better if it doesn't escape, I think I have it secure.

I managed to get a better picture...

Cute little thing!!!

you have more patience with little things that crawl around where you don't want them than I do. Likewise, had I been the person sitting at the computer at the moment, i would have screamed like a sissy girl and run away.

Those little spiders I can manage without hooky-jigs I just love the little jumping spiders! They're so cute, and they can be so fierce and ferocious when they feel threatened, which just makes them cuter

I still have it captured, going to see if it will grow any, its certainly weird, and its not scared lol like you say Jade, how can I get a jumping spider though here, we dont get them, could it be something else?

That's 100% jumping spider right there. Various species are found all over the world, and you found one of them. I doubt it will grow any larger though. All jumping spiders stay pretty tiny. The largest one in the world is only 3/4 of an inch long, or about 2 cm. I can guarantee you've got a jumper though.
