Tussle with a black cat??

I'm beginning to wonder if i've run over a black cat! What a bloomin' week I've had, and it's only Tuesday.Last Thursday my roof sagged quite badly, so I call in a builder, who tells me- with the obligatory sharp intake of breath- he doesn't know how its holding up. Basically I need a complete new roof, and sharpish. Obviously not covered by Insurance, so he proceeds to quote me a price, but having a brother in the building game, I call him who get's someone he knows to come round and quotes me a price half of the previous one. Obviously he get's the nod , and that's now in hand.

Friday night, the in-laws come round, have a bite to eat, then proceed to switch channels between I'm a celebrity, and dancing with the stars finals, whilst proceeding to talk all the time, so no peace there then ( What's the difference between outlaws and in laws? out laws are wanted!!)

Saturday , the light of my darkness goes shopping and keeps the economy going single handed

Sunday we go to Cheshire oaks- an outlet village- cause I've got a fiver left in my wallet, and the sunshine of my life doesn't want to "miss the bargains" !! I jest slightly, but you get the general idea.
We're out all day, stop for a lovely late Sunday dinner, visit my dad and get home @ 9-00. I open the front door to find letters strewn across the floor and my lap-top and my son's ps2 game console missing, we've been burgled.
However looking on the bright side, they basically went through the house , picked up what they could and legged it. Not a bad haul though :

A lap top
Digital camera
game console
@ 20 dvd's
My brand new bottle of Lacoste aftershave- you know the one where the nude man runs around-(get's the missus going that one)
a handbag (with keys)
a couple of jewelry boxes- with a lot of sentimental things in from Jackies 21st birthday and from my late mother.
my sons wallett- no money in as normal!!

If I didn't laugh I'd cry, but luckily I'm insured, I had a couple of spare locks around the house, so changing them was a breeze, and they only slightly damaged a window to gain entry, which is covered by insurance. It could have been a whole lot worse. Still made us very jittery though, the feeling that some scumbag has been rummaging around is not nice.

I had to laugh when my missus asked if there were any sexy pictures of her on the computer, I replied if there were she was in trouble as she'd never posed for me!!

Any way I took yesterday off work-thanks to an understanding boss- to sort stuff out. Went back in today and dropped Jackie off at work, then promptly ran over a cyclist as I pulled out of her works carpark.
Luckily he wasnt injured, no damage to my car- just a buckled wheel on his bike, so thankfully no major harm done.

I feel like Ben Miller in "The worst week of my life"
