Val had arrived with Mary just a little too late to help our Joe but they followed the trail of popcorn upstairs being careful of the oil and the strange glistening spiders. Their shoulders tensing at the old remembered feelings...
Squeee who usually kept the other side of the window couldn't see why he couldn't come inside.. after all his claws could be just as shrill one side of the glass as the other. He was watching all the goings' on and wondered when to make a move. He spent some time filing a few of his finger nails so he could make the good old fashioned sound heard in classrooms as chalk squealed down the board. sometimes a teacher would use chalk and sometimes a Squeee. He wondered how many children realised that the chalk rubber thrown at their heads wasn't to stop them talking but to dislodge the Squeee as he crawled up an unsuspecting arm.
With a circular movement Squee managed to cut a hole in the glass large enough to squelch through without too much damage.. just losing a few suckers on the way. Once on the inside he knew he wouldn't be able to get back outside because of the fancy net curtain draped across the hole... the curtain kept sticking to his remaining suckers.
The killer couch out on the porch was recruited to give a warning of any undead uninvited creatures arriving. The Dust Bunnies were trying to gather their families. The younglings needed to be kept safe whilst the battle for the sleeping room took place. Suddenly there was a high pitched scream. Squee tried to hang onto the curtain as he was being pinched and pushed back through the hole and was dangling above the couch which opened it's cushions like a dusty velvet gin trap.

Gin traps were the mainstay of trapping for Gamekeepers, Farmers, Smallholders and Gardeners in the UK until the were banned in 1958. For many people interested in trapping history a good specimen of a Gin Trap is an essential part of their collection.
Just for the benefit of doubt, it is illegal to use all forms of Leg Hold Trap, (such as the Gin Trap) in the UK.

The nurse skittered to a stop beside the bowl which still had a quantity of mush available for testing. Joe had been reduced to nothing but bones. No-one was around to notice that Penny looked a bit like Chuckles (The Handy Creep) if you could see through the glamour. It wasn't only vampires who had that talent.
Anyway, Penny scooped up Joe's remains without dripping any on her shoes which just so happened to be the extra special Jim Chews she had been saving for... for ages. Now she had Joe's bones she could start saving for the Burntkin handbag to match. Oh dear.. her mind was wandering off on it's own again. Hopefully not too far, last time she had to pay to get it back again.
Catz (my scientist (yes really) friend) had already been building her lab in the cellar and was waiting for Penny to bring samples for testing. That potion from the were-rabbit was strange stuff and the instructions should have been followed.. but no.... those extra tomatoes just changed everything. As Penny was opening the cellar door (which didn't creak due to excessive oiling) the eye watering, squealing, shoulder twitching, sound-feeling was getting louder...

The Bump in the Nights remembered to take their slippers off before stamping their many feet... They were fairly new at all this scary stuff but were quick to learn. They wanted to be in charge of the room, that would be enough to start with.
The Skeletons knew that as soon as someone posted on Bloodbook about the changes in leadership of the room that it would be a free-for-all. They tried to hold back the Bumps but it wasn't easy. Luckily Joe had made it back with Sarah and Michelle who ran up the stairs avoiding the slippery bits. Joe wasn't so lucky and slipped and bounced hitting every step on the way down, his shriek was heard throughout the house. He didn't live long enough to know that he'd had a soft landing.
There was a bowl of something near the skirting board which smelled rather mouldy. When Joe arrived at the edge of the bowl he started transforming.. slowly melting but not before the bowl had tipped slightly spraying some of the contents over the spiders who carried the liquid on their backs throughout the house.  Patrick Bump thought maybe it was one of those casseroles Things left after one of their chaps had died. The bowl was carried back into the Spanish chest and shared out.

The creatures under the bed had evolved to being much flatter than before.. keeping their long arms sharpened ready to catch unweary ankles. They had seen more than the usual amount of dripping red stuff and knew how difficult is was to get the stains out. This is Gerald and it was going to be up to him to gather the rest of his family who were living in the attic overlooking the lake (Yes that lake (yikes!)) They needed backup to keep a look-out whilst they moved into the gap between the wardrobe and the carpet as the mattress was now so soggy that stuff was dripping into their evening meal.
Leigh had sent a note saying she would be there as soon as possible with popcorn if she managed to get past the evil couch on the porch.. the couch last seen swallowing the carol singers last Christmas. Chuckles entered the cleaning cupboard and sniffed the fetid air. She was sure she detected the stench of broccoli but knew that just could not be. The gloopy liquid glistened in the jar as she upended it into her bucket and small irregular bubbles covered the surface of the grey contents.

Chuckles the Handy-Creep had been hard at work. She had brought her cleaning rats with her and jars of the stuff the Crime Scene Cleanup Crews use but there was so much blood. As she cleaned an area so more blood appeared... almost seeping up through the floor. One of the rats (Joe) who was more used to these situations set out to gather supplies. He stopped off at Lyneen's cottage for a snack. Vern had dropped in with a basket of the most wonderful cupcakes which she surreptitiously  moved from table to chair away from dirty whiskers. Lyneen offered the rest of the potion left over from last year's battle which the were-rabbit had left in her shed.. hoping it would help if the cleaning potion was more of an XL size. The two Susan's agreed to add vegetables to the XL potion just to make it go further and snuck in the cleaning cupboard to add it to all the cleaning products without reading the instructions to just use two drops per gallon.
Back in the sleeping room Chuckles was gradually getting rid of the DB's (Dust Bunnies) by shining magnifying lenses onto them and watching them smoulder and not in a good way.
Who would look at those grey washed out furballs, who would give them names? Does anyone name their dustbunnies now-a-days or even admit to having them? The sleepers didn't even mind them scurrying around the floor.. didn't even try to hoover them up. In fact, after Mary's last visit there seemed to be more (perhaps it wasn't going to be so easy for Thumps, Bumps etc to take over the sleeping room) and the Peck's book of Beasts had been found in her attic!
And yet the DB's were the deadliest creatures of the sleeping room and the Handy-Creep was slowly getting rid..

The dust bunnies were getting quite angry. They had kept the peace in the sleeping room for the last 200 years. But now it seemed there was a change coming.
They had made sure that the creatures under the bed were managing ok with divans. (Honestly who thought up the idea of having the base of the bed so close to the carpet.)
The thing in the cupboard had originally agreed to only appear Monday to Friday but now was not just scaring the sleepers but also the cleaner and a burglar or two and was more out of the cupboard than in..
But they  had made the mistake of paying a Handy-Creep to make some repairs. She had been very industrious and had not only oiled the floor near the top of the stairs but had also oiled the hinges on the cupboard, the latches on the window and the door handle. She knew she had to work hard with a business start-up grant and had hoped to get further work when the accidents started happening..

Virgin Mobile complaints procedure

We were so pleased to have moved to Virgin mobile just two months ago but the microphone stopped working, Hubby could hear me but no-one could hear him. It took us ages online to find out how to return it. We managed and were told to return the phone. We received a sturdy box and bubble wrap and returned the phone. We had an email to say it had been received, and waited and waited and waited. We got tired of waiting so rang up to see what was happening. We have been told we caused considerable damage to the phone????????? my husband is nearly 70 and has been spoken to with no respect at all and is so upset... the phonecall has lasted for 47 minutes. Virgin have denied responsibility and have said it will cost us nearly £200 to cancel our contract. They have said they will not repair the phone and will not replace it. He kept asking to speak to a manager but when the manager came on the phone the first thing he said was 'we will not repair the phone and we will not replace it'. Is that really your policy? The manager has said that your company always wins in this situation and that we will receive a letter telling us this. My husband and I are so shaken by this. I am disabled and my husband is my full time carer but now I cannot contact him if he leaves the house. I can honestly say that we have never been treated like this before. We are so shocked and saddened, I have never known of a company treating anyone like this. Does anyone know what on earth we can do?
