    Thought I'd ask if anyone wanted my sister's place but it went on the market xmas eve and they've had an offer at asking price already.

    Bonkers to think I could've swapped my modest two bed flat for it and still had change. It's even in a nice part of Leeds, compared to a slightly shit bit of London.

  • I should know not to tempt fate. Had to do a bit of impromptu patching up last night.

    There was already a note from the Met when I got home, neighbours had called it in after seeing the pair of yoot responsible at half two. Luckily, diligent use of the mortice lock is one of my better habits so the only damage was to the glass and they didn't get any further. Fingers crossed it was opportunist, just a couple of cunts trying their luck. Weird thing is that I'd have thought it obvious that beyond the front door were a pair of solid wood doors for the flats, but maybe they hope that people might not lock those properly either.

    Inconvenience and expense of having the window replaced aside, a reminder to not get complacent about security isn't a bad thing.
