So so weird watching this episode. When I was about 4 yrs old a lady that had a nervous breaking broke into my mums house she had a carving knife ...

Anyway mum got that neighbour to call the cops, mum got this poor lady to put the knife down and made her drink a cup of tea and a bed for the ladies headache. I don't remember the lady but I remember the smell m she had t showered for weeks, the cops took her away and it turned out her husband took off with her daughter and some friend of theirs. She had come to mums because she had seen me playing in the front yard. I guess at the time mum did the right thing but that poor lady must have been desperate to break in , apparently the lady kept saying I want my Leanne , my name is Leanne ....

Brandy is certainly a fast mover, she even made Chrissie Latham seem slow off the mark there with her swift advances towards that maintenance guy.
