    Thank you :)

    Not such an early night but got the cleaning and ironing done. Since the incident last weekend things have been quite tense round here :( We where promised more police presence but that definitely hasn't been the case. Someone has just been kicking my front door/glass panel at the side and when I went to the window they just said oh sorry wrong house? Weird. But yeah things are noticeably more tense than usual.

    Smalls are all sleeping :) Going to have my cuppa then get on with sorting some paperwork and things out or maybe I'll just stay stuck here and read my book :o :rotfl:

    You're a cool customer! At least you saw them off. Is it worth letting the police know about it?

    Another MSE'r has seen my area this week :o I'm sure they'd agree it's 'cough' rough :o I wouldn't ring the police Cherry then I'd be worried I'd be the 'right house' :o I keep myself to myself seems the best way :o :rotfl:

    It was okay Beanie - smalls didn't enjoy it as much as I thought they would. Which I feel really bad saying this but I'm kind of glad :o It just made me realise how right my decisions have been.
