Is it the only place in town with a good signal? Must get quite crowded there, I should think.
lostmywellies, you do make me laugh! 
I think I [heart] u a little. Glad you've got Lundy. Will you get a chance to read it privately ok? I remember locking myself in the bathroom & having a bath (had taken to nightly baths at the time, to sooth my pregnant-sore back), and getting really freaked when NSDH was rattling on the door wondering why I'd locked it, frantically searching the bathroom for a safe hiding place for the book in case he burst in. Be safe while you read it.
hilde, I blinking well hope he's not still there after 2 hrs! 
If he is, tell him you're not answering any more texts while he's outside the house, he needs to get his stuff from the doorstep (wonderful idea!!!!) and go. And then turn your phone off. He's still making you dance to his tune, make him dance to yours.
I just phoned the local DV unit. The woman I spoke to was absolutely lovely (wonder if it was the same one I spoke to back in January), but couldn't just log the incident for me she said. She did speak to me for nearly half an hour though, explaining what would happen if I did report it. She said that I could report it at any time, same with the past incidents, and officers would go out to speak to NSDH if they thought it was a crime (she said that it was). If he denied the ones where there were no witnesses, there was not much they could do. But if there were any other avenues to take for any incidents - witnesses, doctor reports, people who saw any bruising - then they would follow them up as far as possible. (I have photos taken of our living room wall where he bashed a hole with a golf club last July, I wonder if that counts, or it would still be his word against mine.) She spoke a lot about the need to keep the kids safe from it, mine and his, she spoke about getting counselling for the kids through Women's Aid maybe (something I'd been thinking of, the girls were terrified on Sunday and crying, and not for the first time). The more she talked, the more I thought: I can't stay in this relationship, can I. 
I came off the phone and just cried.
I spoke to Respect yesterday too, and although there are no programmes anywhere near us, the man was concerned that I stay safe any time I have to see him, eg handing over the kids. So tomorrow, I've asked him to pick them up on his way home from work (i'll hand over in my flat's car park, lots of windows overlooking), and I'll pick them up later but I wont go in the house.
And I saw a friend for coffee this morning, told her about it, but it didn't register till after that I wasn't expecting her to be shocked, I wasn't emotional about it, it's normality for me. I'm that this is how I think now.
