Alrighty so today I had one of those surreal this can't be happening moments. I stayed behind in the car with DS (3) because he wanted to pretend drive the car. DH locked the doors of the car as he walked in the house. The car starts getting warm so I try to open the door. It won't budge. It stays locked. I try the centre console button to unlock all the doors. Nothing. I try all 4 doors - none will open. It's getting hotter in the car. So I try to honk the horn. Nothing. Now I start to slightly panic. Dh took my purse in so I have no phone and I can't get out of the car. I feel like a fool. But it's getting hotter and hotter. I'm silently thanking God and the universe for the fact that it's a coldish day for May. I try to wave at people passing. No one notices. The sun comes out - of course. It's really warming up. I start looking for something to break the glass. There isn't anything. I'm now taking off DS's clothes because damn it's hot in here for a cloudy day. Finally, finally a guy sees me frantically waving and banging on the glass and I shout to him that we are trapped and our house number. It was nearly cold today London today and it was not fun in that car. It made me realise how fast cars can overheat and that BMWs are shit. Who makes a car that you can't unlock from the inside?! The article below explains exactly what happened to us only ours is a 2009 BMW - so problem not fixed! That and I will never moan about the UK weather ever again.
