Strange but blurry spider ID please.

I was digging happily away on my new vegetable patch today when something caught my eye. At first I thought it was a weevil but then when it began to move I realised it was a spider.
It was very quick, hence the bad photos, but as I've never seen one quite like it before I wondered if anyone here knew what it was.
It almost had a bobbly effect on it's body.
Anyhoo, brace yourself for a headache for as well as being blurry it blends so well into the background too.





Thanks

It's a female Lycosid (wolf spider) as you can see she's carrying her young on her abdomen (they stick themselves on with a bit of silk)
Not going to get to species though

Thanks Venger.
I found it really intriguing as it looked most strange when I saw it, but it all makes sense now.
That's something else I've learnt today.
Many thanks
Suzanne
