So pleased I lift!
So on Sunday night to cut a long story short and not overshare too much about a potential court case my husband and I were assaulted by our downstairs neighbours. I have never been in a physical confrontation before or done any martial arts but I think she didn't expect me to be considerably stronger than her and I was…
