Sencondly be warned of the loooooong post!
Last Tuesday someone had the cheek to smash through the back door of our home with a pick axe!!??
I was snoozing in the chair in the lounge at about 2:45pm when I heard what I thought to be a leaflet through the letterbox, a few moments later a distant thud followed by a crackling noise, initially I thought it to be something falling over in my craftroom - maybe an album or a box of embelishments! I thought 'I'll check on that in a minuite!'
A few minuites later I heard an almighty bang & smash, my thought then was that the oven door had blown because I'd had it on making Lee some jacket spuds for his lunch.
(A few years ago we had an oven door do just that & the noise sounded just like then!)
I immediately jumped up & ran from the lounge into the hall & thats when I saw a man reaching over the island in my kitchen and grabbing my handbag!!!
He ran when I shouted very loudly 'B*****D'!! Instinctivly I ran towards him & was horrified to find the pick axe on the patio outside the back doors!
I didn't really get a good look at him, he just looked like the 'run of the mill' THUG!
The police & CID seem to think he was after the keys to Deans Focus ST which has been on our drive (for safe keeping) since he left for Kenya at the begining of January.
I was in shock for a couple of days but I'm feeling much better now. Mick has been busy putting up a side fence & gate & some more security lighting & we're off tomorrow for some camera's ............ there's not really much more we can do to keep them out & build my confidence back up!
O.K. on a much happier note .............. have you seen all the new goodies over at SARAH'S ..... OMG I have got my hands on the new BG Porcelain papers & goodies & the Jillybeans Kraft collection, not to mention the AC Backyard papers & rub-ons - WOW!! I'm in scrapbooking heaven!
I've also been busy playing with the AC Amplified 2 range from SARAH'S it was one of the collections that I wasn't drawn to but really enjoyed creating with! If you have ever fancied playing with Amplified 2 then get yourself over there quick, there's a massive SALE on right now & things are going so fast!!
I'll upload a few photo's in the next couple of days of what I did!
Thanks for visiting me, please come back soon, love

OMG How frightening so glad you are ok x
OMG!! That must have been extremely frightening! I'm glad you're OK at least physically!
That is so scary - poor you! I work at home and am phobic about keeping the back door locked, but a pick axe doesn't bear thinking about!
Hope you feel safer now with your new security arrangements.
