    Things going bump in the night.

    Alone in the house tonight. Cat's on my lap.

    Something's bumping around upstairs. Not just one bump, but several spread out over the last half hour.

    I have an overactive imagination at the best of times, and I am actually bricking it slightly.

    I ventured halfway upstairs and shouted (rather squeakily) "anyone there?"

    "It" did not reply...

    if I was you..................

    I would take my lead from the cat.

    if it's dangerous or edible, he will let you know

        It's either pigeons, or squirrels.

        In both cases, vermin. Smoke them out!

          Look out for the toy clown doll under the bed
          I'm sorry, but I'll make no apologies for this

            Nowt. Nada. Zilch.

            Although daughter's lifesize cardboard Ron Weasley did scare me sh*tless!

            Still shaking.

              Works for me Cheers!

              But if the cat starts growing and hissing at the door - RUN!

                Just turn all the lights on if you feeling worried.

                When you go to bed just take the biggest carving knife you have and pop it under the pillow.

                Safe and psychotic. A brilliant combo.

                  Damn. We've still got the cheap crappy Argos knives we bought when we were young and skint. Really should have invested in something proper.

                    As EO intimated - if the mog isn't scared there is nothing to worry about.
