Frog I find hearing about the history of peoples houses interesting Though I couldn't live in some of them myself!
I loved looking through the deeds for our house when we got them. My uncle's house has a lot of history too - from nuns to a famous writer living there.

What are you all doing today? I'm just lazing, ebaying, and window shopping. I'm not even dressed yet!

I have only just got dressed. Now watching casualty.

Once it gets to this time of day, to me it feels pointless getting dressed at all

Hi girls

So you're not buying the earrings then CL?

I have booked a dentist but might see if I can get an earlier appt, I had the chance of Monday week but thought I'd be tired as I have a busy weekend, so made it for Thursday week. I was going to say something else on this topic but won't as you are uneasy about it.

Houses - mine has very strange goings on. Sometimes it sounds like a wardrobe is being knocked over. Or if I'm in bed there are loud noises in my room. Often all the lights flicker or go off then back on and things fall down.

Ever since it started happening I have had to put my mind into a certain mindset so I am not scared. Although I often feel startled when it happens unexpectedly.

Your uncle's house sounds interesting CL

No, I'm not going to buy them unless they reduce them again to a reasonable price.

I don't mind anything being said about dentists so go ahead

Is your house really old? I would be terrified if anything happened and I was alone. i'm the most cynical person ever about "ghosts" and all that stuff, but at the same time, I'm easily spooked so there must be some degree of belief in my head...
There have been some weird things happened in the last house that we lived in, but I'm never sure whether perhaps I just dreamed them. Maybe I was asleep and didn't realise? I do wonder sometimes.

No my house isn't that old about 50 years or so but I think it's probably related to me as some exceptionally odd things have happened in other places I lived. My childhood home was known locally as the haunted house. When I left my parents I went to a large old house and had some very scary experiences in my bedroom. I was wondering what on earth was going on.

After a while when I got to know all the other people I found out that one of them was heavily into black magic. And he had a thing about me. It was one of the main reason I decided to move out..

It also happens when I am out of the house, I must attract all the neighbourhood ghosts What this is I don't actually know, perhaps some kind of underground something or other that seems to happen just when I'm around. The area is riddled with mineshafts..

Just remembered it was Ziggles who doesn't like the dentist mentioned.

Hi again

If you don't see much of me for a while it's because I have the privilege of seeing MM again, he's staying much longer this time, arriving tomorrow lunchtime

I hope when I finally return to the board I will read that some of you have got dressed .

I have had a marathon of Desperate Housewives since then.

Currently watching the last hour of Kiss me Kate on BBC4 - I have another version of this on DVD which I am waiting for the right moment to watch. I need complete silence to watch it - hate interruptions so it will be in the middle of the night sometime, and maybe I will switch my phone off too!

Cannot believe how long I have had it for. But I really want to concentrate on it. There are a few films that I have happened upon by accident that I feel that way about. Hey, I'm just a little strange -you'll get used to it.

^^^A LITTLE?????? hehehehe ;-)

P.S. did anyone else think that the casualty dramas were a bit much...i mean really- there were like 20 stories all rolled into one- i was exhausted by the time it was finished!
