  • Hi

    @ Jason Glad to hear it lol
    Just keep of the bad monkey beer 😉

    hehe thinking will do that you know 😀
    I do hope so…. you’d never have know it was Halloween the past couple of years.

    morning J oh dear that’s not so good man. Try and catch some zzzzz’s today or you will not be fit to watch the para tv tonight ……take care xxx

    @ Tracey aww that’s good to hear 🙂
    Sorry about your cold flaming annoying eh ……..plenty Vit C etc etc etc. While i remember tell Vicki i hope she is feeling a bit better if your visiting EG and you see her xxx

    I watched the GBG Halloween ep last night it was really good ….. some house eh ….. i don’t know how they live there. Great stories hats off to Michella S she has done a fine job and makes a good team with our Richard ….. lets hope the Beeb has a brainwave and gives her a para investigation show 😉 She is also a welcome addition to Spring\Autumnwatch.
    Yes very good ep that and re Richards garb erm …. after the initial omg man what have you got on! I just did not notice ….. he could have been an extra in Starsky & Hutch though hmmm Even i could sort him out it would take years of him ….. i’m thinking black, nice jeans, boots, maybe a waistcoat of sorts and possibly a hat?? 😉 Still love him though ….. he has not lost it !!!
    Take care xxx

    @ Nikki ….. Awwww you spilled de beans … that i’ll teach me….. i hadnt got around to listening to the evp again yet awwww well …. i had it wrong anyway i though it said Edward ??
    Yeah that was a good ep of GBG did they call it witches cottage or something used to be a prison ? Well i hope she does rent it out for ghost hunters i mean in this economy jeeez as she cannot lease it to tenants for long and would she would want to anyway? given all the bad stuff that has befallen anyone who lives there.

    Avatars you say eh?? ah ha!!! so what pic are you going to choose eh ??? Sounds like a good place.

    Re GA i know, but you know that when they start investigating, they really do it justice ? Like Tracey said it never used to be like that but they are mega famous now so ….

    Oh dear poor you & Fudge i know my Dog is the same, i cant stand it …. so i take her to a local groomer and she gets all the trimmings you know ‘brush brush here brush brush there and a couple of lah dee dahs’ £27 a pop she is better groomed than me 😀
    Anyway good luck with the clipping xx

    Oh i’m a clumsy beggar and always treading on someone spend my life… it seems… grovelling to pets !!!! lol
    Had to take Daisy to the Vets yesterday so she still hates me right now !!!!

    Well it was supposed to be out on dvd on Nov 5th ??? ….. now its end of Jan so like Tracey says not long xx take care

    Ok i’m off to Jakes Place to see what’s what till soon be well 🙂 and w\wishes xxx

  • morning everyone ,hope you are ok .yeh ghost adventures on tonight ,and parnormal witness ,yes planner set up for both ,been up scince 2 am lol ;p; cant sleep again xxx

  • Ooh yes Nikki, I hate it if I accidentally tread on a paw or something. Makes me go all frantic and needing to say sorry to them ! Hate animal cruelty of any kind. I just cannot bear it.
    I’m sure Tina has forgiven you 😉

    Agree about Ghost Adventures and the amount of ‘padding’ that seems to be in the more recent shows. Check out early series episodes on youtube, they have barely any interviews or larking about.
    Did you see when they visited the UK and went to the Hellfire Caves? They asked two blokes wandering around outside drinking lager at 9 in the morning what they thought of the place. I was cringing lol.
    I think Crickley Hall will be aired about end Jan – when all the contentious stuff has died down a little?

    Yes Nikki, I meant Carnfield Hall. What a gorgeous property it was. Riddled (apparently) with ghosts, but oh it was stunning.

    See you all in a while, hope you are all well and happy.
    (Cold is still vile but ho hum).

  • Good evening all

    Tracey hi did u mean Carnfield hall ? lovely home i saw The Berkley castle ep great looking castle and so much history dating far back as 1100’s , then the one that really got me was the Haunted cottage in essex which used to be a holding cell for the folks in the village, so much bad stigma attached to it ie the fact that the lady can’t sell it , quite like to do a ghost vigil there but go armour plated just in case .
    Mr Felix’s dress sense oh dear… but we still think yuore fabaroonie , looked at your post reply on posh site lol i really couldn’t make out Robert even tho i know something was there i will try to listen harder now i have that in mind.
    Take care xxxxx hope your’e yucky cold goes soon

    Jason it hurts me too to think too much mate but yeah i agree but loving GA and now P/witness new one dont forget to set your planner!x

    Claire hi there hehe The posh site yeah it’s a goodun Claire like Tracey said nice people just like the ones on here creep creep lol no seriously i know what you mean by posh lol there’s more buttons to press and i’m trying to edit my profile as everyone has pictures ie avatar and i havent but i have to say Mr Nikki is helping as he is the computer tech whizz !
    Watched The San Diego ep of GA to a point , quite a lot of funny banter during the interviews eh? i think it’s quite comical but sometimes and like MH u feel like saying quit fooling around and get on with the vigils , but it shows they have a sense of humour., so i will finish watching that one and can’t wait for the new P/witness series

    ooo i tried to clip Fudge’s back claws today and managed but a one point she squealed and moved so i think i nicked her a little and i was absolutely mortified to the point where i got quite teary but i checked her over later and she was fine eating her curly kale so Tina the wriggler is gonna need two people me thinks .
    aww u dont half feel awful do u like when u step mistakingly on your cats tail and they go MEEAOWWAW which i have done in the past wicked woman … and then it’s nothing but cuddles and treats.. to make up for it that’s why i can’t understand animal cruelty sick .. oo i’ll get off the subject now .
    mmm naughty beeb for not showing Crickley Hall when do you think they’ll air it??? soon i hope
    anyroad speak sooneth i hope you get chance to watch GGS the essex cottage quite a good ep
    Laters roast potatoes w/wishes xxxxxxxx

  • just been thinking which hurt my head lol , i hope next year we have more paranornal programmes , even on sky ,and not repeats .

  • Hello all,hope everyone is well. Good to see you Jason ! Lol.

    Claire, I found MH Live – Silent Town on YouTube eventually. The Prague one is on there too, so I shall watch that eventually.

    The posh site is nice, some really interesting stuff to read on there and the people are very welcoming.

    I woke up this morning with a vile cold. Grrrr. Annoyin’.

    Watched the 28th October episode of Great British Ghosts the other day and loved it. Terrific episode and gorgeous house. Richard Felix was as lovely and as enthusiastic and excitable as ever … but… why was he dressed like that? :- O

    Each to their own though I suppose.

    See you all soon 🙂 x

    Yes think that was Chris’s last live em as was it Prague next ?????
    Chris was sidelined a lot which, for me made it uncomfortable viewing at times.

    @ Nikki The Secrets of Crickley Hall yes hopefully the Beeb has done a good job of it …. i just wonder when they will be brave enough to show it given all the heat they are taking at the mo as it should have been shown at Halloween.

    Dave’s fire walking good for him think he is doing his bucket list 😉

    @ Jason hi mate i did wonder where you were ??? lol Did you think the mods had banned you hehehe Funny old site sometimes eh, it takes notions lol

    Aww poor Chris and his operation. I wonder what he’s had to have done ? Just watched him on MH Live – Silent Town where he had the look of a whipped puppy in a woollen hat. I’m presuming he left soon afterwards as he did not look happy at all 🙁

    Hope everyone is well. More later xx

    Mercury is goes retrograde from tomorrow, until 26th, so yes you should leave plenty of time for meetings, check the phone battery and don’t sign on the line until you’ve thought things through and read them through. But remember he’s offering the chance for a review and as he starts the backflip in Sagittarius it’s all about big goals, what’s stopping you and how can you remove those blocks?

    Hey what id you think of our Dave fire walking eh ….. posted a link of his twitter for you a couple of days ago ???

    Chris Conway
    Hi Guys 🙂

    Thank-you for all your wonderful messages. I am blown away at the amount … but shouldn’t have been surprised by the love my wonderful FB family show me always.

    I am back home but still feel yucky but the op went well. I need to go back in 6 weeks to make sure it hasn’t returned. This typing with one hand is difficult 🙂

    Blessings

    Chris

    Must try and remember to listen to those evps again …..ok bye for now guys be good 😉

    Well folks i done a little digging re James H The Secrets of Crickley Hall, and apparently the Beeb should have shown it on Halloween ….. but the story is a little to close to the bone right now …. because of Jimmy Saville.
    I think it was shown in America though ?

  • Hellooo peeps again
    hope we are all good

    Claire, Vicki, Tracey, Debby, Jason, Tony, DARREN

    just wanted to say that i’ve been accepted on Everthingghost.co.uk and have just posted a welcome my name is spookynoodles and i actually found it quite easy to post and find my way around forum NOW i’m not leaving you on this Forum no way hose as i love this site as it was the first one ever and i’ve made such good webforum para pals but if you would like to see the other forum and what it’s about go and take a gander , but this will be still my first port of call . lol i’ve got all serious on you haven’t i?
    in response to Zak strutting like a peacock lol dont he just did you see him jump a mile on one ep? was it the Mitzpah as that’s the recent one i’ve seen bless his cotton socks .

    Well Vicki you have started something like a possible mission now or a new years wish for us all to go to Edinburgh and explore the paranormal wonders of the vaults and the city oh yes start saving now guys

    lots of w/wishes all xxxxxxxxxxxx

  • WOW Vikki, I am so jealous, I’d love to visit all the places you did in Edinburgh. I went to Edinburgh a couple of years ago…just passing through and thought it was a wonderful city, wanted to visit so many places but just didn’t have the time.

    I found your ‘essay’ lol, really interesting and very honest, ie your lack of feeling spirit presence in the cemetery. I agree that if the place was that dangerous then it would be locked and people certainly wouldn’t want to live next to it !!! I have watched documentaries on the graveyard and it has sent shivers up my spine at the thought of such a strong powerful spirit that can haunt and hurt people in such a way, glad you escaped unhurt.

    Was it a public or private tour ? would anyone be able to attend it or was it a one off ?

    Once again, thanks for sharing it …:)

  • GOOD MORNING ALL
    FIRSTLY HUGE WELCOME BACK TO VICKI

    Wowee sound like you had a great time Vicki, i’ve just read your post and read your friend’s account have to say i’m fascinated byt he evidence , ilistened to the evp’s with headphones on and i can detect a voice but cam’t make out what they say except on your evp where you say “what year is it” a bit of a crackly pause then a males voice but again nt sure clearly what it says, i also looked at the photographs taken Hi there you! lol there is a orb above your head but again like you said and your friend you have to account for dust particles however saying that if you look at picture titled Cursed stone circle there is one that’s on the move elongated as it were left bottom which is interesting also on the picture Window room entrance betwix the two mannequins on the floor wooden or tiled ? i dont know if my eyes are deceiving me there seems to be detail of the top of a man’s head ? not sure if it’s like a watermark/stain maybe but i can make it out what do you think? i have tried to register on the forum so i can reply to comments photos etc and chat to you and your friend to say job well done but dont know if i have been successful yet i’ll try later anyway i have been glued my eyes like saucers lol
    Edinburgh looks beautiful steeped in history like you said soo many layers, the history was fascinating to say the least being a history buff gosh what that of Mary Queen of Scots being nearly 6 ft unheard of in them days so yes a striker she must be i have that colour eyes and hair but i’m defo not the size more of a 5ft 4 tich lol , dont apologise for your essay i’m glad you could share and the fact you got minimal evidence just makes it more endearing and real? if you get me.
    So sorry about your passing germs but they will get flushed away i’m sure and i bet Artie has forgiven you now lol cats (roll the eyes) anyway if i am successfull with registering i’ll see you on there too i know i said to Claire i’d stick to this Forum but that seems a great forum too somtimes expanding your horizons is refreshing so Tracey and Claire how about it eh? shall we sign up for next year’s event ? that would be brill to all meet up
    Trouble is tho Vicki is the cash flow i know it’s a cheeky thing to ask and probably you dont want to be so bold to divulge but how much did it cost you ? as in para event and travel , i wont be offended if you prefer nt to say.

    Anyway glad you had a mega time , i’m sure Claire will be on later to comment too!
    Glad your back my lovely till soon w/wishes xx

  • Hi All

    @ Vicki WOW
    Talk about back with a BANG 😀

    Ok glad you enjoyed Sparks and they still have IT 😀

    Ah you met up with a webmate brave girl.

    First…. good to see you!
    Thank you for taking the time to tell ALL……. forgive me if i don’t do your post justice (as per) lol

    Edinburgh is beautiful place ……. re Lesley hmmm yeah hardly 6ft hehe but like you said not a lot of ladies are 😉 Still i see the humor.
    😀

    ‘Dr Ciaran O’Keeffe would be very proud. XD’
    I would not expect anything less 😉

    Well great tact re the medium but if they cannot deliver specifics ….. what’s the point ??
    Suppose it added to the feel for some… but for me erm that kinda medium would put me off 😉
    Thats the thing about ghosts etc if only we knew there schedule …… still you enjoyed MKC vibe and would recommend it so …

    Never heard that Hoax theory before about Bobby ? …….. had you went on the Mackenzie P tour they tell you that Bobby was attracted to the graves, as when it rained the bones came to the top surface and he eat them ……. deary me ….. i’ll stick to the faithful friend one 😉

    Yeah Zak made me laugh when he went to the graveyard… i can still here him …’ OMG!!! what kinda place is this’ lmao

    Well some friends of mine went on the MP ghost walk ?? lots of patter ie Bobby tale above etc …. people jumping out and stuff so you are talking to the converted here.
    Truth will do … thank you 😉

    Sounds like great fun was had by all 😀
    And something worth saving up for 😉 £££££

    OOOuch that is not so good …… you see thats what you get galavanting round Edinburgh in the middle of the night hehe 😉
    No…. thanks for that… eh friend hehe
    Yup 1 or 3 hot toddy’s me thinks chase it off good and proper.

    Ah so Potterthon begins oh dear dont remind me 7 weeks till Christmas ‘help ma boab’ lol
    Hmmm thats a lucky coincidence as Sky are showing all 7 or is it 8 ??? Not that you will need it enjoy.

    I loved your post Vicki so glad you had a good time and good company to share it with …. priceless. So thanks again
    I shall go and check out your pals thoughts on your link xx

    Reading now…
    lol, in a good way… boy your birds of a feather eh 😉
    ( Had to read both posts twice actually ahem so last comment for effect hehe)
    Again….. fear i cannot do your mates bril post justice.
    Good for TheBogieman ? standing his ground i don’t think he was being macho at all, and if the medium did not like it…. well erm sorry but too bad.
    Great experiments though wow
    Re orbs now don’t laugh but they did not appear in all the pics so…….
    Also having had my Digi camera for a while now…….. i have yet to catch an orb? So i’m starting to think mmmm are they all bugs and dust??
    Ok…. i hoover and damp dust daily, but still 5 Cats and a hairy Dog….. there’s dust lol
    Anyway good pics… thank your pal x Nice to see you too Vicki.

    Re the evps i will have to listen again on my new pc as the speakers are a bit off on this old thing….. also i have tinnitus so….
    But there does seem to be some kind of interference following the questions …… were you all perfectly still no shifting etc ???

    Anyhow i would not like to say until i have listened again with better speakers x

    Thank you both very much for an enjoyable visit today xxx So glad you all had spooky fun and look forward to your next para investigation !!

    Bye for now w\wishes to all xxx 😉
    J,…. Fact or Faked tonight lol

  • Vicki, it is great to see you again, and what a fantastic write up of your time in Edinburgh. Sounds like you managed to fit loads of stuff in ! So sorry to hear you have the lurgy though, but at least you didn’t get it during your holiday as it would have spoiled it !

    I really want to visit the Edinburgh Vaults and Edinburgh in general. Next year hopefully.

    Am off to read your friend’s report now.

    Welcome back and get well soon, sweetie.

    xx

  • good morning everyone hope you are all ok my last 5 post havent come dont know why ,perhaps i have been banned ,take care xxx

  • morning everyone ,hope you are all ok and well i posted 4 times yesterday none come up so i try again ,watch for the fireworks,and thats coming from me iff my posts dont come up lol xxx

  • Did someone say brownies? 😉

    Hello again, everyone, great to see you all. A very happy belated Halloween and a happy day of the dead, it was the Mexican Day of the Dead on the 2nd and the pictures I’ve seen of it have been amazing, so vibrant and beautiful. 😀
    Next stop, Fireworks/Bonfire night! Sparks will fly! 😀

    Sparks were awesome, by the way, as I knew they would be, still got it after nearly 40 years in the business. 😀 Their tour was called Two Hands, One Mouth, why? Because that’s all they need… Two hands, one mouth that’s all they need… that’s all they need, to satisfy you… It was an amazing, surreal experience, so, everything you’d expect from The Brothers Mael. 😀

    Shall I tell you about my time in Edinburgh? 😉

    I met a very good friend in Edinburgh and we (my family) spent the weekend in Edinburgh with him and a few members of his family (he himself lives in Glasgow) it was strange, as I’d known him over the internet for 14 months, but this was the first time we’d met face-to-face, but we quickly picked up where we’d left of online discussing everything from various ghost shows in Edinburgh locations that we’d be visiting to the lovable foibles of our animal friends. He’s come by here once, he tends to avoid anything with the MH brand generally, but I do pass on some interesting findings from other members here and comments that might interest him. 🙂

    Edinburgh was stunning, such a wonderful city, the history and beauty of it was awe-inspiring. We visited the castle last Saturday, fantastic place, the layers and layers of history from the oldest part of the castle (the chapel of St Margaret) to the more recent additions (the monument to the fallen in wars) everywhere you could feel the history and physically stand in the room where James VI of Scotland/James I of England was born to Mary Queen of Scots (she was almost 6 foot, which even today a woman of nearly 6ft is rare, so she must have been a quite a striking woman, with her rich auburn hair, hazel eyes and powerful stature) I did have a bit of a giggle with my friend about the memories of Lesley Smith as Mary Queen of Scots in various clips we’d seen.

    That evening, we took part in the vigil at Mary King’s Close, a wonderful location and very highly spoken of by ghost groups who had been there in the past, so I was a bit nervous for a few reasons, it was my first investigation, so I wasn’t sure quite what to expect, and that the location was so hyped up that I was worried that the evidence we captured may not be up to the hype. So I went into MKC with a sceptical scarf of many colours, a Ghostbusters hoodie and crucially, an open mind. Dr Ciaran O’Keeffe would be very proud. XD

    The investigation itself was very interesting, and run by a group who took a stern view on people messing about, which was good, as it being close to Halloween, we were worried that there’d be people there who were going to be a bit excitable, luckily, that didn’t happen. The medium was a good addition to the team, but there was a lack of specifics (names, dates, etc…) please don’t get me wrong, she was a lovely woman and I do believe that mediums have a place in investigations, but in the end, there was not much going on and she admitted that. An elderly couple were in one part, a man in a leather apron in the fireplace of another, the watcher was also there (the next night we found out the other name by which this particular entity is known by in another location) and a black figure that was hiding himself from her in Mr Chesney’s House (needless to say me and my friend were right in there getting stuck in trying to communicate with him, and we got some interesting results, I’ll give you the link to my friend’s report, let’s just say we later understood why he was a bit tetchy. XD ) and in another room there was a man pacing around who we tried to communicate with via an EVP experiment. The results of which are also on my friend’s report. I thought my voice sounded odd when I was asking, but I found out why that was a few days after I got back home. We also tried a transfiguration experiment with the medium, which was not as successful as I’d have hoped and we tried out some kit, I got a lazar thermometer, (Dr Ciaran O’Keeffe, eat your heart out. XD ) It was a great night, a bit flat regards activity, didn’t get much in Annie’s room. In the entrance to the site (not in the close itself), I did feel almost as though something had touched my leg, but if Annie had marked me out to communicate with later, she didn’t follow it up, so I have to say I’m more inclined to believe that it was the result of me shifting my weight and my trousers rubbing against my leg and the suggestion of the location. The temperature was fairly level, give or take one or two degrees near walls and the centre of the crowded room, so nothing that unusual. There was a slight increase in EMF in a few spots, but I’ll let my friend tell you about that. No sudden changes of mood, bar a slight sadness at the shrine to Annie, but all in all the investigation was fascinating, MKC is a wonderfully atmospheric place and one I would recommend visiting even for a day tour (not that you’d notice the difference between night and day once you’re in the close itself.)

    The next day, we visited the Edinburgh dungeons (which were amazing and well worth a visit, all the gory spooky history of Edinburgh in one place with the added interactivity with some characters) and Greyfriars Kirkyard and saw the statue of Greyfriars Bobby outside the cemetery, people having their photos taken with him and I took a photo of the dog himself, it’s a good, sharp photo and I’m very proud of it. Then we had a look around, on either side of the entrance to the churchyard there are a pub and a shop bearing the name of Greyfriars Bobby and as you walk into the churchyard itself there is a memorial. I found this very saddening, as the idea of my furry friends being so distraught after my death that they sat moping beside my grave for 16 years was not an idea that I was very keen on, but I think the enduring idea is one of lifelong friendship, love and devotion. My friends told me about how they’d found it was a hoax staged by the local people to drum up tourism and there were actually about six dogs, but it clearly worked. The statue of Greyfriars Bobby is never alone.
    Inside the cemetery, we saw images of skulls and skeletons, which had been knocked by Zak Baggans as being evil, but in reality are symbols of ascent to heaven and eternal life thereafter, or as masonic symbols. We spent a few discussions on the GA team and Zak in particular, the great strutting peacock that he is, flexing his muscles in his piece to camera then being the first to say “did you hear that!?” with eyes the size of dinner plates, still, he makes us laugh when he does that; it’s like he suddenly realised that muscles are not going to be all that effective on ghosts. XD
    Then we went to the quiet area just off the main cemetery, the gates closed, chained and padlocked, the location of the Black Mausoleum and the main stomping ground of the MacKenzie poltergeist. The gates are closed to prevent the morbidly curious going in, as many hundreds of people died there and respect for that needs to be shown, although there is a tour that does go in there to go a quick vigil in the Black Mausoleum. We took a few pictures of the site and the mausoleum, couldn’t get too close, but we didn’t suffer any ill effects from the area, apparently the MacKenzie poltergeist likes to scratch or hurt people who get too close, but the buildings immediately backing off of the black mausoleum, are inhabited, so they can’t suffer too many ill effects from living in such close proximity to the site, certainly not enough to reconsider living there. I’m sorry if I’m coming across as a spoil sport, but it’s something that’s worth considering, if it was so dangerous to go there, then on health and safety grounds then surely they would be boarded up and locked up permanently, ditto the Edinburgh Vaults with the rotating cursed stones. Maybe I’m getting cynical, but it does give you something to think about.

    That evening, we went on a ghost walk around a small portion of Edinburgh and the history, the amount of it and the layers and layers of it that were just in that small area around Parliament Sq. The Englishmen who drank to the health of the king (when Scotland was a republic) the one making the toast had his tongue cut off, the one who listened having his ears cut off. The site of the old cemetery (now under a car park, John Knox is buried there) the site of the old gallows and the longest hanging in history, we passed by Advocates Close, where a Judge was murdered, we stopped by Mary Kings Close and heard ghost stories about people who came to live in the Close after the clean up following the inhabitants allegedly being bricked in and abandoned to their fate. Allegedly the bodies were hacked up and buried in a mass grave. Although not much evidence can be found for these events or the story, it made for an atmospheric ghost story with the disembodied heads and limbs, and the disembodied lower arm, hand outstretched to shake theirs, a welcoming committee.
    We then entered the Blair Street Vaults and had a look around, hearing about ghost stories in the vaults, from a kindly cobbler, to a lady who has an intense hatred for pregnant women whether they knew they were expecting or not. We heard a ghost story about Apartment 17 (my friend has got the full story including where the apartment was) to another spirit, the watcher (whom we recognised from the medium’s walk around the previous night) he also lurks around the vaults, but we went into his room where they told us that he was known by another name, and only seems to interact with people in that one room, he wears a blue coat and big leather boots from which he gets the name Mr Boots. That was a ‘Dun dun duuuuuunn!’ moment. On a previous vigil, my friend had been down the Niddry Street vaults and the medium had called him William, saying he didn’t like the name Mr Boots and apparently his name was William, apparently he was a landlord, but my friend said that some speculate that he may have also been a pimp, which might explain to a degree the aggressive behaviour towards women. We stayed in his room for a few minutes, knowing of his hatred for women, I was expecting to feel something, being on the shorter side of average and much smaller than him (bullies being cowards and all), but nothing. Maybe my sceptical scarf and Ghostbusters hoodie kept them away (I ain’t afraid of no ghost) or maybe he was out watching somewhere else in the vaults, or maybe (because my open-mindedly sceptical friend would want me to put this up as an option) he’s not there at all and it’s all nonsense.
    Then we all went up for drinks and listened to tales of Burke and Hare, Helen Duncan and rounded off by a fictional ghost story which linked back into Apartment 17. It was a fantastic night, very atmospheric and I’d definitely recommend. 😀

    I’m still buzzing from Edinburgh. 😀 

    After I got back from Edinburgh, after dealing with a very sulky cat, which didn’t last long, she was too happy to have her family back and within a few hours, she was charging about, meowing and jumping in the cases. It was good to be home. XD
    Problem is, that didn’t last long, either that night or the night after, I woke up and it felt like my throat was full of broken glass and sandpaper and swallowing was so painful, it was the pain that woke me up and I was trying to swallow to clear my sinuses, and it temporarily subsided enough for me to get back to sleep. Then Halloween I had to work, so I went to the library, but my throat felt like it had a slimy lump in it that coughing would not help, so I didn’t try. It wasn’t painful, but it was uncomfortable. That evening I got worse. The broken glass and sandpaper feeling was back and I had to take Thursday off work, the night before it was cold and raining and my friend told me online that I should not go out in that as it would aggravate it and make it worse. He was right, of course, so I stayed home and asleep in bed until half-one in the afternoon. I feel a fair bit better, the throat is not as painful, but I am still coughing and sneezing a fair bit, but hopefully the worst is over.

    That does explain why when I called out on the EVP, my voice sounded a bit strange, I thought so at the time, but shrugged it off. I realise now that it was probably the result of me visiting a friend who had the lurgie in the week before leaving for Edinburgh, so I probably had something before I left, but it was in the incubation period and was beginning to manifest while I was there. Oh well, here’s to getting better, if not, then tomorrow night mine’s a hot toddy inside watching the fireworks, there’s been some wonderful ones this weekend. 🙂

    Oh, just a quick side note: The countdown to Christmas has well and truly begun! Sunday 4th was officially the start of the Potterthon! 😀 We have this tradition where we count off the weeks until Christmas by watching each of the Harry Potter films. Seven and a half weeks to go, people! 😀

    Have a great day! xxxxxxx

  • Watched Celebrity Juice tonight. Oh my days !!! Yvette cackled and guffawed her way through the whole thing, Keith Lemon was on fine, filthy form as usual, Joe Swash is as thick as a plank (no change there then), but the biggest screech of laughter from our sofa was when Keith showed the piccie of Yvette, full length, totally naked wearing just a body painted map of the world – made to look like a swimming cozzie ! OMGGGGGGG her face was a picture 😀 Soooo funny.
