Also, that way, he might not charge me £70 each time he has to come to the house. Ooops, hang on, that makes me sound a little bit like a practitioner of the oldest profession, which I am not, obviously. <br /><br />Flossing the Cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16298951261351587626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-39555537626803729102012-08-11T20:05:24.727+01:002012-08-11T20:05:24.727+01:00It happened to me once.

My neighbour gave me a blanket to wrap around my daughter and waited for my husband, she never invited me inside though as we were to that close. Weird anyway the good thing was that my hubby only worked a 15 minute drive back then so it was quite fast. <br />I would've.panicked a lot more in your place though. So happy it all ended up ok.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02886095836279480469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-23971665506825074612012-08-11T10:38:56.032+01:002012-08-11T10:38:56.032+01:00Little A was brilliant - she never cried once!

Like you, I'm normally so vigilant about making sure I've got a key/ the door is on the latch but I have this niggling feeling that one day soon I'll probably end up in exactly the same predicament!<br /><br />As per the post above, I'm thinking of getting a key safe hidden in a discreet place by the side of the property. Just can't work out if London burglars are one step ahead when it comes to cracking the code so whether it is worth it or more of an open invitation?! xMummy Plumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10746501465644149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-31705714082326700712012-08-09T22:14:28.168+01:002012-08-09T22:14:28.168+01:00Poor you.

My frien...Poor you. We've all done it though.<br /><br />My friend did this. She had her baby in her arms, and with keys in hand shut the door, which duly locked. They keys in hand were however, plastic toy keys! She luckily had her car keys because she was off to the airport to collect a friend. On their return to their house, the friend was shoved through a window to unlock the door from the inside. She did this only once! <br /><br />Our house now has a key lock on the outside because we were always going off without keys expecting the other one to be in on our return - except they had just popped out on an errand. When our two little ones arrived, this became quite tricky and the key lock was duly added! It has been well used!
