Ok well maybe *some* of it was Clodaghs fault but....

So she finally goes down at 9.30pm (after trying since 6.30pm ), sleeps til 1230pm and then wakes for her usual BF. Fine. I put her back in her cot and she goes straight back to sleep. Great. Get back to bed, lie down, get comfy, then WWAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH screaming! I leave her for 5 min but no it gets worse so up I go...think she had a bad dream or something lol. So I re-settle her and she goes back down....by 1am I'm back in bed and about to sleep.

What seems like a few minutes later- but is actually 3am- I hear an angry woman's voice outside my bedroom window yelling 'What the f&*% are you doing? Don't F%^&ing y touch her!'

I wake up fully and realise there's a huge 3-way domestic going on just outside our (thankfully 6ft) fence. I get up and call the cops cos it's getting nasty, I try to be quiet but CLodagh wakes up and starts to cry poor thing...DF deals with her while I"m on the phone.

Police turn up and it goes quiet for a while. Then the man who was beating his GF starts resitsting arrest so the police start using their tricks or whatever to subdue him all the time his GF is now screaming at THEM that they'er gonna kill him and they're strangling him and all we want in our house is a little bit of peice.

Oncce it's all over Clodagh is completely awake and 100% sure it's time to play.at 4am. She doesn't settle till 5am and by that stage I'm so wound up by her, by the domestic and by DF's snoring I give the whole thing up as a bad job.

lol. sigh.

No he doesn

t but he'd be great at it. Mid 30's, fit and incrediably laid back. You need those qualities IMO. I wanted to be a cop for years but then worked at the end of a 111 line for 4 years and changed my mind lol

You would have heard some unbelieveable things, I could only imagine. DH's best friend is a cop in Queenstown and even the crime there is more violence and serious. But then, there are good things about the job too. He does have good work stories

Isn't that what all the ads say!!    

What an eventful night!! The most excitement for me was being woken at 5am by the cat bringing a mouse into the house and playing with it...

littlelittle- that is gross about the mouse lol  luckily my cat is old and fat and doesn't do that often but urrgh when she does!

debsB- yeah there were some pretty interesting stories alright lol. It put me right off being a cop though cos 90% of their work seems to be domestics and drunks...and the same offenders all the time lol. Still, it'll be good to go back to the 111 work when I want to go back to a part time job. Good money but it needs to be cos it sure ain't everyones cup of tea!  It's got a high turnover...unsuprisingly.

Hopefully tonight is quieter for us at home anyway
