            I would ask about someone coming to maybe board it up to make it secure - as long as you obviously have some other access in and out of the house!
 Lots of treats for your big furry family member.
 I was burgled back in 1990 in Londonin my shared student house. I came in the house and thought...hhmmm, where is the microwave? went upstairs....hhmmmmm, where is Vicky's stereo??
 Police came and found everything dumped at the end of the garden and say that they were half way through doing the house (TV's were still in the house) so it was lucky they were outside when I went in. They also said it was highly unlikely they would come back.
 Even more unlikely with your Great Dane   "Stay Wonky":D "Stay Wonky":D

            I usually put mine up around 10th but with the decorating they went up on the 17th, which was nice as it felt a bit more Christmassy. Usually by then, it feels a bit 'oh, come on, let's get to the 25th can't we?!' I always leave them up until 6th though. "Stay Wonky":D "Stay Wonky":D

            Spud you poor thing, glad your dog gave them the scare they needed!!
 Been to work this morning, very quiet but gave me the chance to reduce all the clothes and start our sale...better late than never but business has been good so didn't see the need to do it before today.
 Took DD down to weymouth beach this afternoon as she wanted to play football but my god it was so cold and she was screaming after about 5 mins so we came home.
 Going to spend this evening sorting these photos out for this wedding, then I can get paid and then I can sort out finances and budget for 2009!I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....
