  • Ive watched the Gavin and Stacey Xmas special tonight, was v good, and had a very nice curry as well! No alcohol, I seem to know when I've had enough (hint hint)

    The lunch we had today at the Wacky Warehouse was horrible-I paid £30 for the kids to play for an hour and then have a crappy meal-not impressed.

    I'm taking the carving knife to bed tonight, just in case. Doubt I'll sleep tho :(


    Spud they won't come back hun. I was burgled about 5 years ago, took nearly everything of any value but was just a druggie looking for money to feed a habit. Police said they very very rarely go back to the same place again

    Thing is tho Sally, they havent taken our stuff, it's all still here. For all I know, they might have had a good look round, and come back another time :o

    I really hope you're right though.
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    They may very well have had a look but they also got a good old look at your dog and that was enough to scare them off. They want an easy loot and having to deal with a dog which will bark isn't an easy loot and anyway they would realise that you would be on the lookout now so even more likely they would get caught

    I think that too Sally, they might have heard the bark and not expected much but meeting the dog would put them off I think. and they will go somewhere folks aren't on the look out.
