See how this next week goes Blizz. At the moment DH has buried himself in his football club's website (don't understand, never will, particularly as it's the OFF season) - maybe he will need support next week if things go pearshaped...

Know what you mean about the quiet night and absolutely nothing on TV! I'm thinking very seriously of heading to bed early as I am SO tired - I'd forgotten how much energy it takes to get up in front of a class. Also the blood test was one of the first ones and I didn't really sleep well last night. We had a major storm and the dog's kennel got trashed so he slept in with us, wriggle bum that he is!! Then DH started snoring - I've told him he needs to talk to the GP again about his sinuses.

TBH the emotional explosion that happened last Friday night is still scaring me a little. I keep thinking that they are going to break into our house and rob us as retribution. I know logically that those that emotionally and physically abusive people aren't necessarily robbers, but DH told me that one of the men there had been involved in these crimes. So I'm a little freaked.

Then again if they were going to do it they would have done it by now. Also our house is fairly secure - there are security grills on the section of the windows that move. There is a deadlock on the front door. The back door has a security grill on it. They would have to smash the other part of the window to get in. But I'm scared they will do so (I've had someone try to break into another house while I was asleep, so things like this really play on my mind). We also have the dog and our next door neighbour is home with a small baby, so that helps.

What type of dog do you have? Is it a Beagle? The only reason I ask is that our neighbours have a beagle, and we can tell when they are not at home over the weekend because he sits and mournfully howls at the back door, unfortunately all night, but it does blend into the background eventually!
