    I have loads to do, so may even end up having to watch it on catch-up. Just off to see what time it starts.

    Another disaster the other day ...all shopped out car full

    emptied carried in.....

    Then about 3 hours later when the family over the road came in she knocked on the door to tell me there were 6 bottles of Rose wine and a pack of carling behind the boot of my car

    Guess my neighbours may wonder if I am a secret alcoholic

    and that's why I keep forgetting stuff cos am fuzzled all the time

    and of course I always say that I don't drink ...dam carling and asda ...

    That is horrible mrs ids. We had the shed broken into once, nothing was taken but I hated the feeling for a long time after.

    Currently sitting here trying to sort out an mp3 player for a customer (they use it for music on hold) and listening to Jellyfish in Space, a soporific tune if ever I heard it :eek:


    I ve said this before on here but I ll say it again for those who never saw it first time round. We have two large sheds in our garden that were broken into one night years ago.

    The cheeky bu**ers moved the light sensors towards the sky first so note make sure if you have them high enough so they can t be reached by Scallies presumably one on top of others shoulders.

    They clipped off the strong padlocks with bolt cutters I presume , and threw them into next doors garden opened both sheds, took a look inside and presumably ran off heehee was obviously too much for them :D

    Ps I feel like doing the same when I open them too.

    Do you think we should change the locks of the car too? Would a steering wheel lock not be enough?
    All this expense & violation of our property. Could have been worse but still , was relying on those cinema tickets too for the 6 weeks. My own fault i should have uploaded them.


    Depends how good the car lock is I guess. My son Darren paid £100 for his because he has a car that lads want and someone tried to break into it on his drive so he learned from that and purchased the best one he could afford. It's a pain for him using it lol but better than having the car stolen
