Im looking forward to them, the bigger the better :)

I personally love storms, but one or two things you can do to make yourself feel safer. Unplug your tv and pc equipment. Keep a torch by your side in case of power cut. Finally, resort to the "head under the duvet" thing - there is nothing (axe murderers, thunderbolts, 12 inch knives) that can penetrate a duvet.

Seriously, if your fear emanates from the possibility of the house being struck, just remember that the chance of that happening is so remote, you probably have a greater chance of your numbers coming up on the lottery.

Hope it doesn't disturb you too much.

Can't stand storms especially lightening...freaks me out. Just hide under the bed till it passes.

[joggerjayne]

Okay, wear rubber !!!

Wellies, marigolds, a wet suit, a pair of Mr Lee-Gend's incontinence pants ... anything.

And don't touch the floor.

Get your rubber on, and lie on the bed. You'll be safe. Ridiculous, but safe.

lol@ jayne

[pusspuss]

put some headphones on and listen to your favourite music

[sandrajo]

joggerjayne; I bet you have a rubber suit!!!!

LOL

[sheribeee]

Thanks x i will have to hide and get some ear plugs in i think!! I cant listen to music coz i not got a mp3 or anything! That would have been perfect!
I not too sure what i will do to keep calm!!!! I have propranolol to take edge off panic, which i use for everyday anyway, but my body just goes into panic mode as soon as i hear even a rumble, it uncontrolable!! just an automatic response... mad i kno!! xx

Rubber suits? Incontinence pants?
I like a good storm.
Evening all! x

[joggerjayne]

LOL sandrajo.

Nope. I don't think so.

I have a wet suit (which I know is not made of rubber, before anyone picks up on that).

And I have wellies. And marigolds.

And I'm bidding on eBay for a pair of Mr Lee-Gend's incontinence pants.

I hope you're not getting a naughty impression of me, sandy j ;-)

[joggerjayne]

Oh, hi Icey.
