Just had a knock on the door
"Are you OK, we noticed your alarm light is flashing and all your windows are open".
Errrr, me thinks...........
"thank you very much, yes I am absolutely fine, thank so much for enquiring. The alarm has actually been flashing for the last 6 weeks. Unfortunately, the BF set it off whilst doing some DIY and then remembered that his ex wife had changed the code to a random number and will not tell us what it is. The alarm company will not give him a code to reset it because he could be a burglar so it will have to flash until it dies because we reckon eventually the bulb will go."
"You don't look like a burglar"
"That's very nice of you to say" (holds glass of G and T up in friendly "cheers" type motion). But thank you so much for taking the trouble to find out"
We then had a laugh and joke.
Not sure what I am most surprised at - that it took six weeks for someone to knock or that someone did actually knock or that I was not nicked!!!!!

It doesn't make a noise it just bloody flashes. I am used to going to bed with a blue light flashing in my eyes.
Perhaps I just should have said "its a new crime prevention iniative, the burglars see the flashing light, look through the front window at the mess and think "they've already been done, sod it"!"

Hang on, Barmaid. Where did that G&T come from? You were without both money and booze earlier on this evening. Perhaps you'd actually just returned from burgling someone else's house for their supplies of gin?
Come to think about it, why were all your windows open? Have you been smoking that waccy baccy again?

lol Chris - I normally only drink wine. Without funds I had no choice but to go on a "booze hunt" I found g and t in the other fridge. So I helped myself to a rather large measure or two. So when he goes looking at the weekend there won't be any, but there's a reason for that!
As for the waccy baccy, where's Snags when you need him?!

Caslass, I think the likelihood of me finding the damn box is much the same as the likelihood of me persuading the BF to sort the bloody thing out. All he needs to do is WRITE to the alarm company (on the basis that most burglars either a) can't write or b) don't hang around long enough to write a letter).
Anyway, if I find the alarm box, the chances are I'll just hit it with a bloody big hammer. I am sick to death of mentioning it.

I see you've managed to explain away your first few statements, Barmaid.
I'm now looking at that one about you being used to going to sleep with a blue light flashing in your eyes. Is this you?

Trust me Chris, I know cheap underwear when I see it!
Caslass - I am not sure how to take that!! lol. To be fair I did have a look at the white boxes in the hall and the downstairs loo, I managed to work out which one was the alarm box, but it needs a screwdriver and they are in the garage with the incy wincy spiders, but I do have a hammer........
