Mrs ids so very sorry to hear the rotten news. I've been robbed once but that was on holiday. I must say it left me feeling dirty, all my things touched by someone else, a stranger.

Can I just ask though and please don't take this wrongly. How did they get into the house?

Just wondering why other things weren't taken from you, it's stuff that can fit neatly into a backpack. I hope my thoughts are wrong, so I'll shut up

Through the front door the forensics lady advised us in future to keep the key in the lock. Locksmith coming tomorrow. My daughter and her friends were having a sleepover in the living room. They just took items from the hallway. Hpuse keys car keys and purse. My purse was right next to a picture of jesus too and that did not deter them. Need to cancel my boots card too and see if they have milked my points. At least the girls or any of us were not harmed. Could have ended a lot uglier.

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

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

I use to work in a nursing home. We had a shed outside at one time for keeping dirty pads etc in (eventually got a more hygiene wheeley bin ) but yes you guessed it. Pad shed got broken into one night. Bet that gave them a surprise :rotfl:

I can sympathise with TS...
The plumber rang to say he would be here in 10 minutes to look at the boiler...
Had to take my stash out of the boiler cupboard.
Admittedly it is all thrown in to those nice Royal Mail stacking boxes
So had to haul them out & whilst they were out I decided to, at long last, group everything together.
I have 101 roll on deodorants :o:o
56 bars of soap
36 toothbrushes
21 tubes of toothpaste
42 BS Body Butters
21 Sun Tan lotions
16 tubs of Vaseline
5 Puppies on a roll
17 Chapsticks
29 L'Occitaine small hand creams

Numerous out of date packets of pills which I will take to Boots for disposal
Plasters, combs, cough remedies, insect repellents, weary now just thinking about them

Luckily I didn't have to touch the shampoos, conditioners, bubble baths & hair dyes


And I don't shop at ASD4

omg Snap, I thought I was bad enough bit I did give away a load of deodorants, roll one and that stinky spray that we were all getting from Mr A :eek:

Fingers crossed its just the £100 liquid you need :cool:

Anyone else watching Redrock at lunch times?

Absolutely brilliant. Some continuity errors but still gripping

(Brian's 3 plaster strips on his eye brow, on in the hospital & station, but off when he was arresting Michael Hennessy)

Coach Trip.... all very young people :eek:

I dip into Red Rock, waiting for a certain cop to get his comeuppance :mad:

We have our key in the lock and turned a half turn so it can't be poked out of the lock. Other door we can't leave key in until ds4 is home, which can sometimes be late/early .

At least you are all safe, that's the main thing xx

Now we need a picture of rocky. I thought dh had bought me an owl last year for my birthday but he'd bought me a bird of prey flying experience. Speak of the devil he's ready at last......why do men take so long to get ready?

Is it a European Eagle Owl?
Sorry but I look at this photo and think a beautiful creature like this should be flying around living free and not chained to a post.

Hello again - sorry to interrupt the chatter.

Just checked my A shop - and found I'm short on my 8 items - even though I'd bought 10. Oh woe!

So I investigated.....

This may be old news but loose mushrooms, loose broccoli, and loose grapes no longer show on .com and so do not count for a p g.

I thought I'd share - to save others from my feeling of abject failure!

Have a good evening all.

She is only changed when outside, she has a massive aviary
