    Errr, why was she locked out, was she behaving as a naughty ex-smoker so you threw her out??

    :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    No she forgot her key, DS1 was out and I was having a cheeky beer with a buddy for his birthday :o

    Oh that's a relief, bet that didn't do much for her smoking resistance levels though!

    Congrats to Mrs TNG, a week's a milestone, get her to focus on that.

    probably not, though she didn't bite my head off :)

    I think getting to a week will be a big psychological breakthrough for her. That's what I'm hoping anyway :o

    How long was she locked out for?

    I got home to rampaging kids ransacking the area, throwing bottles at buses and breaking the windows. Then running down my road and smashing all the cars windscreens, they smashed both cars either side of mine but didn't touch mine, how lucky am I! There were police everywhere but they didn't get caught. I felt so sorry for my neighbours that had their cars done over, it's such a quiet area that it's quite a shock for a lot of the older folk :(

    OMG!!! When I started reading that I thought you were talking about your kids :o :rotfl: I think it was the "I got home to....".

    Was anyone hurt?

    lol, no my kids watched it though as they were all trick or treating in a big group with all the little ones. No, no-one was hurt, although they must've smashed up around 20 cars, a bus and shoplifted half the stock out of the little corner shop, half of the stuff they nicked is what they used to smash all the windows, ie drinks bottles.

    I was SO lucky.

    They must've been around 15. One of them shouted DD1's name when they went past but she didn't know who it was as they were all riding bikes and wearing hoodies :eek:

    I told her though, even if you do know who it is it's probably best to keep your mouth shut as they'll probably come back to do my car or worse!
