Thankyou all to your replies im actually quite getting used to this spider watching her through my kitchen window, safely in her temp home.

***WARNING THE BITE PICS ARE NOT TOO PLEASANT***
Thats Definitely a Steatoda Nobilis and the bite looks like a spider bite to me - which spider though who knows. I'm guessing you are in the south of the country, if so, there a dozen or so biting spiders but i would put it on either a Nobilis or Grossa.
