Broken into whilst asleep upstairs.

If you are still struggling to sleep it might be worth investing in a burglar alarm or if thats out of your price range you can get small battery alarms that you can connect to doors which go off it the doors/windows are opened and they only cost around £10 for a few.

It'll hopefully scare anyone off in case they woke you up, but mostly it'll go off and you should hear it if someone was to brake in again. Means you don't have to sleep with one ear listening out for noises and believing every noise is an intruder.

If that still doesn't do the trick you could always get a lock put on your bedroom door, as one added bit of security. But I'd personally say an alarm is enough as beyond that, you'd be becoming a vicitim for life whereby you are always having to lock yourself away to be safe.

By the way, anything sharp under your pillow isn't a good idea, not only is it dangerous to yourself, it would also show intent, if you ended up in court.

Stick with a hammer... Anyone can have a hammer lying around from the night before from putting up your bedroom wall clock or a photo frame, so it just happened to be the first thing that came to hand

Really feel for you .

What makes my blood boil is that when Alex Curran got broken into they had the full police force and helicopters. Okay they where masked men but come on you don't advertise in the paper the week before that you bought your husband a £10k watch. :mad: ... Yet your situation and they couldn't come out there and then....

What are the police taxes for I hear a few of you say.

Best of luck and keep your chin up.

Stephb1986, thanks, are you ok? i cannot believe that he attacked you? Its kind of the same as my parents who are amazing to me still do behave well with my brother, he doesnt even feel like one though and we used to be so close that i would talk to him more than once a day... anyway i am sure that someone up there doesnt like me! Had a shi* time last year and i really though this year would be better for me and now all this rubbish.

Sorry i am moaning now.

Thanks again.

Hi Angel hunni you ok??

yeah im fine now ive just washed my hands of him so he can get on with it when he wants a favour. My mum does stuff like food shopping for him and i have to take her it makes me so angry but im only doing it for my mum but i shouldnt be put in that position.

Im sure places like a pound shop does alarms of some sort?

I hope your ok hun

Hi thanks Stephb1986 and Journ.

Yes they have taken my heart out of this place but i do feel slightly very slightly safer with the new upvc door as it has got more locks.

Just painting the bathroom for the viewing tomorrow.

I dont know what the insurance company will do. I have emailed them asking if i need to seek legal advice?

Things feel a mess.

thanks for posting. I hate to sound like i am moaning all the time, i know i am but i feel crap to be honest.

You can get BT wireless alarms on ebay for £50-60. They're very easy to setup, can ring/txt nominated numbers when activated (for £5 pm subscription) and can be set so that certain sensors (i.e. external doors and windows) can be activated whilst inside.

Oh and UPVC doors are normally very tough/secure (as long as you lock them fully). the frame bends under strain, instead of giving. A decent UPVC door would put most thieves off (the door at least) instantly.

Hi, the insurance for the car is fine, i sorted it.

Was up till 3am painted the bathroom though which was pretty hard actually.

Had a viewing today the lady didnt seem very interested but thats ok what will be will be i guess.

I do have an alarm but i did not set it as i was in.

Thanks for the advice about the door, it makes me feel safer. I counted the locks and it has 6 locks.
