The floating was okay (although a bit Alice in Wonderland) it was the cold dirty water around me that wasn't so good! You know what? I wonder what things my children will say scared them as children in a few years time. I'm probably inadvertently terrifying them by not having curtains in the bathroom, or letting them watch Dr Who (but not Blink as that scared me half to death), or something I can't possibly see as frightening at the moment! At least they can get to my room quite easily and I always go to them quickly if I hear them crying in the night, I suppose.
Would anything have stopped you worrying about the hands and the sinky bits, do you think? A night-light? A special toy lion? A walkman to play music when you were scared? I'm curious. As for me, I wish I hadn't had to sleep so far from the rest of the family (in terms of dark, spooky rooms to go pass to get the them), but I loved having my uncle staying with us, so I wouldn't change it.
