:thankyou: Nissi, I will definately give porridge a go for breakfast.
Well I didn't get to eat my pasta last night as we were broken into yesterday evening. Luckily they didn't get away with anything and no-one was hurt but it has really scared me. Dh had walked up to his parents earlier in the day with dd and ds and when I got there to pick them up I realised I had left ds's car seat in the house so dh came back down for it while I waited at pil with the kids. Thank god I'd forgotten the seat otherwise dd would have arrived home to see the garden crawling with police
I'd been out from about 4.20pm and at about 7.15pm our burgular alarm had gone off and our next door neighbour (who is a policeman) came straight out to check the house. He realised our french doors were wide open but by the time he got into our garden the scumbags had jumped over the garden fence and got away. Luckily they'd literally got a foot through the doors (there was big muddy prints on the carpets) so hadn't touched/taken anything. Our neighbour had phoned the police straight away and they were there by 7.20pm. DH arrived back at 7.25pm, literally just after it had happened. We had SOCO here until 10ish, taking castings of footprints in the garden and castings of the damage to the french doors (they'd prised them open with what looks like a couple of screwdrivers) and also a police dog and handler - I really couldn't fault the police response - they were so prompt and thorough. They told us another house on the estate had been ransacked the previous weekend as the owner was away and didn't have a burgular alarm.
It has really shook me up. It's made me paranoid someone has been watching the house as that is a time we would generally be in with the kids and they've have known we are out. It's made me wonder if they just waited until it had gotten dark before striking
I just thank goodness that no-one was hurt and that I'd set the alarm. I don't always set it if I am just popping out during the day. If I hadn't have set it they would probably have been in ransacking the place when dh came back for the car seat
It's also made me realise just how easy french doors can be to break into - ours are supposed to have a good locking mechanism as well put they've managed to open them with very little damage to the frames of the door.
I could really do without having the insurance excess to fork our while on maternity pay but the doors need replacing, as does the carpet by the looks of things as I can't get the dust stuff the SOCO person used, out. I feel sick to my stomach that some low life has been in my home, where all my children's things are, intent on taking things we have worked and saved bloody hard to be able to afford......I'm generally a lover not a hater but I hope they rot in hell
Anyhoo, sorry for that massive rant....just needed to get it out :cry:
Instead of having pasta for tea I ended up with a quick bowl of cereal once the police had left. I didn't feel much like eating but knew that if I underate my points it would damage any weight loss (see, even in a crisis I remain focussed, lol.) I also re-aquainted myself with Davina yesterday afternoon when dh and the kids were out so I built up a few more activity points (I'm struggling to actually walk today though - she is hardcore that Davina!)
Ds slept through the night for the first time last night - would you believe it, the one night I hardly sleep a wink, he sleeps right through?! I'm hoping it's not just a one off
I've managed to have another good day today. I've had a rest from the exercise and had a more relaxing day but food wise I have done well (although I did have a medicinal couple of glasses of wine over lunch this afternoon.
