Oooooohhhh ghosts and ghoulies

[Miss Demeanour]

The Brat has 2 of those 'touch base' bedside lamps.Because essentially she cannot have anything that requires too much effort to turn on  ( now , now ..just talking lamps here    )

They have started just coming on of their own accord . These were replaced recently because the others did the same thing but were very old and battered ( she often missed the lamp base when trying to turn them on or off and as a result the shade had been caved in  )

She has now declared that we are being haunted and need to get the place exorcised - she does love a good drama and horror flick 

Then when she got up this morning there was a blood curdling scream. I jumped out of bed and ran into her room and discovered the cause to be a mildly disinterested daddy long leg spidery thing ( medium sized ).

Now she states she is being infested as well as terrorised .....

I believe that slapping someone you think is hysterical isn't considered assault 

[Miss Demeanour]

Mmmmmm in her own interests you say 

[Uncle Mort]

Airplane panic attack

[Barman]

Perhaps she will leave home like....

Dress up in a white sheet and enter her bedroom in the small hours, you say?

[serious]My youngest daughter had a similar problem with one of those touch lamps. Turns out it was set off by having her iPhone next to it. Moved them apart and it stopped. [/serious]

Give the Brat a slap anyway, you will feel better for it

[Miss Demeanour]

DS you are a genie arse  That could well be it ....her iPhone is hardly ever more than a grasp away !

DS you are a genie arse 

Rub my lamp any time you like. 

[Miss Demeanour]

Is it oil filled ? 

[Darwins Selection]

Is it oil filled ? 

Energy-saving, hand-cranked of course.
