When we got broken into years ago in the middle of the night my mum frightened them away. I had left my purse ahem after a night out on side and my mum had left her work bag with a few coins. That's all they took and they got a grand total of about a fiver. I hope they enjoyed it.

The old lady at the bottom of the street got robbed on the same night they were in her room and took jewellery and everything.

There was a spate of vehicle theft here a while back and leaving the keys somewhere that couldn’t be easily seen from outside but where they would be clear to anyone who had already gained entry was what the police advised for the reason you said, 99 out of 100 times that’s all they want and if they can take it and get away they won’t go anywhere else in the house or take anything else. I suppose it doesn’t sound as fun as millions of tiny bolts does in Jacks head.

ETA: the other tip they had was to leave a decoy purse/handbag/wallet in a similarly obvious place with old loyalty cards and about £20 in. As most looking for those are impulses and, ahem, not the brightest and if they think they’ve got the all the cash they’ll scarper.

I asked the police when we had footage for a neighbour’s break in for hers so I had to give a statement with the videos and they said the same, it’s entirely up to you what you’d prefer as there’s no way of stopping it tbh. It’s sad but surely we’ve all accepted that a degree of theft is inevitable with cars, phones, laptops?! The only thing you can do is make sure you’ve got 🔥 insurance and you stay safe as there’s only one you !

But Jack can’t afford £30 pcm of contents insurance obvs she’s got flower subscriptions to buy 🙄
 
Flying visit to the cabal!
Guess what I just passed on the way to my brother’s for a physically distant visit!?
Happy Birthday those who have birthdays! Sun is shining! 🌟

Jacktopic - a birthday cake is something you bake or buy for loved ones. It shouldn’t be a chore or vulva orientated - unless requested.

Can confirm it doesn't help! We've gone from a large garden with cool solar lights everywhere and lots of space to a small unit with a tiny backyard and I admit to being envious when I see a lovely plant filled garden.

The only advantage is MC Dad not whinging about mowing it.

I agree. No garden, no balcony, but, I do have a marvellous collection of houseplants to admire. It infuriates when people like Jack have a glorious garden and waste it, she does nothing to help it, all those plants are there by circumstance.

I had a cheeky garden centre visit last week, I love imagining my perfect garden looking at all the plants!
