Hi guys.
Today will be a very low spend day, as i am too terrified of leaving the house after being burgled this morning
:eek: Hope you are OK and that nothing too valuable to you has been taken or damaged.
Just completed my Asda order on Mysupermarket, which I have never used before - only switched from Tesco to Asda two weeks ago so it was nice to have confirmation that we saved around £12 this order by doing so
Order guide price is £58 odd including delivery, will update sig with the exact total once it's been delivered on Sunday.Part time working mum | Married in 2014 | DS born 2015 & DD born 2018

Thanks everyone. 'Luckily' they didnt have time to steal much as i had only left the house for 9 mins to drop off my youngest to school.
I came back and disturbed them, which was the scariest thing, and they only managed to run off with my camera, phone and most devestating of all, my sons DSiXL. He is devestated, so i will be replacing that over the weekend, and i have also decided that i am going to get a dog, regardless of cost.
I need to feel safe, and the police woman admitted that dogs help deter thieves.
i feel utterly violated and like my safe haven has been totally taken away from me
Sorry for the moan, ust had to offload somewhere.0 -
hugs Cleggie, im so sorry this has happened to you. i hope hope that you are not too badly affected by it.
a similar thing happened a few years ago when someone got into or house while we were out.
i was more disgusted theyd used our loo and not flushed but as the police pointed out it could have been worse at least they used the loo!! it was things like the camera and vid camera they took from us they could be replced but sadly not the video tape or film.
dont let them win, its you home and it is your safe haven. just make sure you keep doors locked wether you are in or out.
sneding good wishes and positive vibes to you and yours.SPC~12 ot 124

Oh Cleggie I'm so sorry to hear this! I can imagine how horrible it must be for you, especially that they were still there when you got home!
If you do get a dog, try going to the dogs trust if they are near by, they are really good matching up people to the correct dog! As soon as I'm more stable with work etc I'm going to look at bringing a dog home, I feel completely lost since moving out of my parents home without the dogs!Weightloss: 18lbs/28lbs (Start weight: 11st, Current 9st 10)

Thank you again for your good wishes for DD, very much appreciated
No news about the breast lump biopsy, but hopefully no news is good news.
Further complication, a mole she needed checked at hospital is not to their liking and that has to be removed
As you can imagine, the 2 things happening at once is making it a bit of a struggle to just carry on regardless, but fingers crossed that all will be well.
Just trying to keep calm and carry on, as the mug says!0
