Group 7-day waking average?

Morning folks and a bad 8.2 today. That will be all the ‘nice’ things our friends brought for us to eat, lovely thought but all the bad things. Still got my cold and head rather fuzzy.
@MeeTooTeeTwo congrats again.
@Gruers sorry for your loss, hope you manage to see your family today, thinking of you x
@Kaylz hope Bruce finds the elusive bat, I wouldn’t fancy one of them in my bedroom x
Have a good day one and all x

Oh no, it was in the living room hence why he was stuck in the bedroom, poor thing says he's poached as the heating has been on since about 10 last night with the bedroom being on the opposite side of the flat to all the other rooms so couldn't get to the kitchen to put it off, it would be in hiding now so I've said to just leave it and come up here and when he goes down the road at night just switch a lamp on to keep it as dark as possible as chances are if it was still there it would be more likely to come out and then he can phone tomorrow should he need to, he did phone the council emergency line last night but they were no help lol xx

We had a bat in the house once, they’re quite sensible, when it woke up in the evening, we opened the windows wide, and it found its own way out quite quickly.

That's what I said to do when he was on the phone, just leave it until tonight and do that but as always he thinks his dad knows more than any female so was going to be phoning him but there's no answer, he insists he wouldv'e noticed if it had went in the door with him last night so can't understand where its come from xx
 
Years ago, in our first house, I was woken by a bat brushing past my cheek - eek! There were four of them in the bedroom! 😱 😱 We just had to ignore that creepy feeling you get around bats, grab them and chuck them out. One of them was crawling up the curtain...I was expecting Bela Lugosi to appear in a puff of green smoke.o_O

Morning all. A 5.8 at 5 past 8 for me.:D

It’s the way they frantically flap in order to fly that makes them frightening. They are scary, but some years ago when we had one in the house I found it during the day, gently took it in my hands and released it in the garden. It was very dozy and docile.
 
Morning all. 8.7 for me this morning, despite having a correction before i went to bed.

@Kaylz , as @Robin says check Bat Conservation or RSPCA. Hopefully its a lone bat and theres not a nest as they are protected x
@Bexlee have a good day tomorrow x
Have a good day everyone
 
Thanks guys, I think he's calling the SSPCA for advice

I think his problem is he googled it and there was a guy in our county died from rabies caught from a bat in 2002, his dads on his way apparently xx

SSPCA up here for me lol, its behind the curtain, he might get his dad to try a tub to catch it, he was going to try it after I mentioned it but I've told him to watch what he's doing as he's got his wrist to think about, absolute nightmare I tell ya 🙄 xx

That’s strange because Prof Google tells me that the last death from indigenous rabies was 1902!
 
Morning all. Had a Sunday lie in. 6.1 on the metre today. After a full English and a chill watching the birds in the garden, we’ll have a decent walk to work it off and give us an appetite for our roast dinner at 6. We don’t eat lunch on a Sunday. Have a great day. 🙂

Proof, if needed, that we can’t trust the interweb?
 
Right guys, he's found it behind the curtain, he's called the SSPCA and they are sending someone round today, hopefully wont be too long either as he can't get breakfast as he doesn't want to keep flapping doors open and shut and he's usally up here for his fry up at 12 so he'll no doubt be late for that xx
 
My wife came across a spider recently and she told me to take it out. Turns out his name is Dave and he wants to be a web developer.
 
Morning all, 8.3 for me today. Stock take in work tonight, working 4PM till midnight. I managed to count some of the warehouse yesterday afternoon, hopefully the day staff today wont take stock from those areas!!! It was all taped off with signs on so fingers crossed.

I woke up once to 3 bats circling around the room. I flung the windows open wide to let them find their way out. I'd forgotten that the bedroom door was open and suddenly the cat came in and started flying through the air trying to catch them. I had to quickly close the windows in case she flew out, then chase her out and close the door. A few minutes after I re-opened the window the bats managed to find their way out.What a night!! 😱
