Fed up of looking like we've been burgled

Hey, my son had this on his door, 20 odd years ago. That suited me, never went near the place until he left home,. Then we immediately gutted the room, fumigated it ripped everything out down to the plaster, then refurbished it as my study/den. All within a couple of days of him leaving. Just in case he had thoughts of returning.
 
Uh oh.
We've got another one, Signy.

Good thing I'm normal.
And I've got some handcuffs somewhere, for when one of you lot forget to take your meds.
 

Umm, it's still on my door
It's been my fear in recent weeks that I'll come home, find Rentokil has been called in, done the biz and gone, and the locks have been changed

Quite possibly! The family have always said I was a changeling

Actually, I called in at Asda the other day , and saw one of my trolls (nephews) leaving the checkouts. Cue me waving and calling his name to get his attention, when I saw him go bright red, shuffle sideways and distinctly heard him say to his mate " Ignore her, it's just my mad old aunt "

(Guess who hid the X Box in the stables when she got back ? )

Many years ago I wrote a little story hoping to embarrass my eldest daughter into tidying up her room and gave it to her to read she just burst out laughing and said I should send it in to one of those magazines, so I did the college magazine, but that only got her kudos amongst her friends doh,


Told my lot to warn their friends that I was mad, they never did and their friends just accepted my oddities and kept coming round
 
Uh oh.
We've got another one, Signy.

Normal ? (cough cough )
Who was the one who googled "Kevlar Knickers " ?

@satindoll, you will fit right in on here !

Oh and a tip for @Scandichic ... a dead cert for getting people to clear their rooms is fake a sudden conversion to Feng Shui. Waft about looking all spiritual and etherial while carrying a roll of black bags and mutter things such as "Bad qui becomes trapped in clutter...recycle, recycle and clear, create serenity in clear space...minimalism is all..."

Hey presto, all **** is cleared away as if by magic in case the mad woman throws their "stuff " away

Unless it's me, who just buys a bigger padlock .

For clarity, in case I sound madder than I actually am, I'm a recycled teenager not an actual one, and moved in to the granny flat at the farm when I split with my ex. Where I torment the trolls, and knit my purple hats whilst in training to be a mad old bat and hope to star in a remake of" Life of Grime "

Love it, love it, love it, was beginning to think I was the only recycled teenager here, used to do a lot of knitting myself but had to give it up as can't keep tension due to the shakes, if you can hold the tension how about a pair of purple slippers, can't seem to find them anywhere, I really want to look like my avatar, got the haircut, not green though, hubby says I am the silver surfer, got the mug, got the shorts, though I think that's a bit too much info, got the bleary eyes, no I don't imbibe.
Maybe I'll do an upload of Sams Room. think you might like it.
 
@Heathenlass Just a taster. Sam's Room.

Sam's room is at the top of the house. Sam's room looks innocent enough, an ordinary room, one of your everyday rooms, well not quite, it's L shaped and under the eaves.
The entrance to the loft is in Sam's room,
Sam's room ought to come with government health warning along the lines of "Any person entering here is at risk from unknown quantities" or perhaps a disclaimer saying "The management cannot be held responsible for any loss of fingers, feet or any other part of any person entering this establishment"
