DH is out.

The dog keeps growling at it and I keep hearing noises..

Ten minutes ago it fell over for no reason.

I want to put it in the garage but it has a window that leads into next doors garden and I wouldn't like to terrify their children....

Also, if I go over there I feel like it might get me.

Disclaimer: I've had a drink.

Also we're having work done so there are no lights in here.

It's just me and him. In the dark...

I've got to ask... why on earth did you buy a skeleton?!?

WineAndTiramisu · 05/07/2017 22:01

Burn the house down, take the dog and run!

Put a candle in his hand that will make him less creepy

FloatyCat · 05/07/2017 22:02

Put it in a big box like a coffin Grin unhelpful

There's a skeleton inside you too. Is the skeleton inside you haunted as well?

It's a prop for my daughters Halloween party... I saw it on sale and couldn't resist.

Except now I have to live with it until October.

And it's really bloody creepy.

Lay it on the sofa with a pillow under its head and a blanket over it. Then turn the lights off and go up to bed. DH can find it when he gets home.

I would just have a tonne of fun setting up scenarios for silly Fb pics.

Ooh I love spooky stuff.
Do the " knock if you can hear me "

We've literally got a skeleton in our closet.
It's DHs he inherited it from a relative when he started medical school. Scared the bejesus out of me when we were first together, I knew nothing about him and I opened the cupboard to find him there.

Megbert · 05/07/2017 22:06

Maybe he has gout.

Do you have any fish oils you could give him?

wonkylegs · 05/07/2017 22:07

I have made my peace with him now, although he's now better hidden

boolifooli · 05/07/2017 22:07

What's his/her name?

boolifooli · 05/07/2017 22:08

Skellig? Bony/Bonny?

elephantoverthehill · 05/07/2017 22:08

The skeleton needs a name, less scary then. I suggest 'Barry'.

I think you need to dress him (do we know whether it's a 'him'? Could you go an measure it's pelvis please?) - he's cold Sad

I want a Giant Kestrel and a skeleton now
