Hello guys - and thanks Lynne for your kind thoughts.
Much needed because the little effers tried again tonight, this time while I was home, about 8pm. They didn't get in, partly because I ran at the window screaming like a banshee (amazing what adrenalin will do) and then saw them shoot off on BMX bikes - they must have been all of 16 - but no moral compass. Called the police again who made a big song and dance with sirens, bless them, then I called a locksmith and he has just put extra locks on all the windows. Plus Mick my lovely handyman is coming round tomorrow to put a big padlock on the gate and bars on the window. I rang the upstairs neighbour and he was down like a flash to check everything, bless him, and brought a bottle of wine which I've had a fair bit of, just couldn't stop shaking.
So much for my lovely new home dream being one behind bars, not sure if sleep will come easily tonight - but at least Orbs and I will be safe.
Strangely, I've been waiting for the third bad thing to happen, so hopefully that's it, and life can return to normal!
Keep safe, wherever you are xxx
