Was on the phone ages to the lady from Legal and General about our break-in, but at least some things are sorted. She's sending someone this afternoon to look at/measure up the front door - won't feel safe until there is glass in it instead of a piece of wood - silly I know but ... and she'll sort out a cheque for the things taken (minus the £150 excess of course).

Some things to add to my list:-
Send cheque to company who boarded up the door
Send nice letter to the local nick for officers being helpful - I always try to do this whenever someone does me a good service - it always goes a long way in service industries.

The bread came out ok.. the cat footprints look like they are meant to be there (they did have a towel over them so no mudy pawprints lol)

The bed sheets are airing off in the dryer so I can make the bed before I go out tonight.

I have a bit more laundry to fold then the chimps can put it away.

30 minute challenge anyone?? 4-4:30?? I REALLY need to get the rest of the kitchen floor and work surface cleared and cleaned!

Children just eating the popcorn from my box of lush stuff! .. still a bit more to come though!

We the undersigned will not let our Christmas be spoilt by trying to be everything to everyone, if our homes are not 100% perfect then let it be our friends and family want to see us not our cleaning/flying skills. We will do our best and sod the rest Happy Christmas everyone
