Fuck :(

Agreed, fuck. Bastards. I am impressed though, deeply so, at the really interesting conversations regarding home security you managed to have.

May 2013 kick the ass of 2012...

It gets worse. The Evil Landlord reverts, in moments of stress, to solutions involving catapults which hurl things at Mrs Cake. I have to restrain him.

May your 2013 also be of the pleasingly butt-kicking variety!

Argh!!! So sorry.

Re a new security door, my folks have some Trellidors and they seem fairly sturdy.

Trellidor would be the obvious upgrade, they are definitely on the sturdy end of the market, but at present the EL is contemplating something major in wrought iron which covers the entire door and flanking windows. I am on board with this :>. We have a moat, but a portcullis would also help.

Arrgh! that's terrible.

So sorry to hear about your home safety issues - sounds dreadful
