    Not good, have you got a ring doorbell or something like that that can record your doorstep ? Could be used as evidence or even a just in case .. 
    Unfortunately not but well worth considering. If anything does happen it is more likely to happen while we are out and about due to the threat that were made.

    Oh no, that sounds like a peturbing & upsetting incident, @ladyholly. Hope it calms down & just turns out to have been anger & hot air. Having video evidence can be v useful in these situations. It can help avoid the 'your word against ours' problem caused by lack of witnesses.
    I do hope it resolves itself calmly.

    That's very disappointing about the police.  Hope the situation resolves.  The camera might be doubly useful if things are likely to happen when you aren't there.

    Glad you enjoyed the ballet, and good about putting in the complaint.

    I think mr lh is on a mission. Not only has he filled out the complaint form which, according to the acknowledgement we will hear about in 28 days!!! He has written to the chief constable and if he doesn't hear back quickly it will go to the police and crime commissioner and our local MP.

    In the meantime for anyone's  information if you have a number blocker on your phone and no mobile phone don't bother buying premium bonds as they have no way of getting your account verified without either of them. I spent nearly 45minutes on the phone trying to find a way round it and then complaining.
    I have also complained to the  disabled  access people as when I tried to book a show at  the theatre the access seats all had lots of stairs. Hopefully they can sort something as I asked for minimal steps.

    Good on Mr lh  :)

    The access seats all had lots of stairs~~what planet do these people live on. 
    That is so not on.
    Having fallen down a theatre's steps a few years ago I have only been to the theatre 3 times since.
    Bah.  Just bah.

    Been absent for a day or two due to not feeling brilliant and having very little to report.

    I did have a phone call yesterday from NS&I about my complaint of being unable to purchase premium bonds (a very speedy response). I was given the wrong information so all is now sorted and I will get a good amount in compensation so very happy with the outcome.

    On the other hand we have still heard nothing from thje police so I have filled in another form to let them know we are not impressed. The annoying thing is the form asks you to tick a box saying it is not urgent and wont let you preceed if you dont. I have made it clear in the other info box and their feedback that I do want a quick response. Probably wont make a difference but we wont let this go and I am very nervous for this weekend when they will be at home during the day and we need to pass their house with Bear. We will not be banned from the field where we take him by two nasty people. It is a public area and we will both take our phones. I think Mr LH is almost hoping they approach us. I am not.

    I had my chest xray yesterday and turned up a couple of minutes late for it thanks to us leaving late. Mr LLH got the time wrong and did listen when I told him we had to leave then every set of lights was against us and there are a lot of them. Fortunately the hospital was ok and it did mean I went straight in so was out again in about 10 minutes including getting dressed. Just the spirometry to go although I have heard nothing about the ecg the gp wanted. Then all I have to do is get an appointment to see the doctor. :p
