The Frog spends one night a week at his studio and I really enjoy it - not least because I haul Charlie into bed whether he likes it or not... normally I'm not scared but last time, I had a complete case of the heebie-jeebies and 2am saw me huddled under the duvet with the lights on and the cat being very, very grumpy about it...Sparxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04075991922896922279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-33353494825937289282011-04-21T07:56:22.620+01:002011-04-21T07:56:22.620+01:00Really identify with this.

I have got less nervous with time but still don't sleep well and keep a hockey stick near the bed (because obviously that would be really useful given I would be too scared to even move if I heard someone....)A Farmer's Wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17094401205258678969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-59867554987556885882011-04-18T21:25:31.251+01:002011-04-18T21:25:31.251+01:00love the bowl alarm system - would expect nothing ...love the bowl alarm system - would expect nothing less from you Pig!<br /><br />Tom thought that the whole scarecrow/tom likeness would amuse you - i told him that you proably had a quiet chuckle to yourself about it :-)Elsie Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998561385293241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-50627516198983359942011-04-18T21:00:40.052+01:002011-04-18T21:00:40.052+01:00Before my dear dog came into my life, I used to be...Before my dear dog came into my life, I used to be shit scared at night as well. <br /><br />One evening I rigged up a home-made burglar alarm. this consisted of placing a table in front of the front door and balancing a stainless steel bowl right on the edge of it. At the slightest nudge (caused by crazy rapist bursting into house lustfully to ravage me) the bowl would tumble down onto the tile floor and well, everything would be solved. I still didn't sleep well even with my bowl alarm. <br /><br />Now I just rely on the dog to bark and lie awake panicking that the smoke alarm isn't going to work and we'll all die of asphyxiation. <br /><br />My mind is a troubled place...<br /><br />;-)<br /><br />Pig xPig in the Kitchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631525119816074013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-29735826568636765632011-04-18T17:22:15.282+01:002011-04-18T17:22:15.282+01:00I have just noticed something quite funny... the s...I have just noticed something quite funny... the scarecrow looks remarkably like the picture of Tom I drew on my header!Elsie Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998561385293241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-14676769894463577062011-04-18T17:08:01.339+01:002011-04-18T17:08:01.339+01:00hi mum in meltdown, i think i actually feel safer ...hi mum in meltdown, i think i actually feel safer having the kids there - dolly certainly made me feel safer, altho she was pretty annoyed with me!Elsie Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998561385293241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-56694800558165880492011-04-18T17:06:30.257+01:002011-04-18T17:06:30.257+01:00Hi Mummy Mum - i wish i had that excuse, but i thi...Hi Mummy Mum - i wish i had that excuse, but i think i was just as bad before kids...<br /><br />Hi Expat Mum, yes i am def going to look into alarms (dogs, never!) it's weird because i was never scared on my own in london - surely the wrong way round?Elsie Buttonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768998561385293241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7862249258643149376.post-33533970774664404702011-04-18T17:02:07.259+01:002011-04-18T17:02:07.259+01:00My husband used to work nights for a week at a tim...My husband used to work nights for a week at a time and although I have never been scared on my own it is very different when you have the kids with you as all responsibility falls to you!
