"what can I do??"

[ASecretLemonadeDrinker]

Grrr... No electricity no hot water no heating , have a 4 mo and 2 yo, all ill , hv coming and dh lost the key to get to the electricity cupboard and just says the above when I called. AIBU to want him
home to find the damn. Thing - bloody nightmare ds on feeding frenzy and he even said the same damn thing when I called thinking I was in labour. Posting on phone

Oh, and he is the boss, so not many probs there. And knowing him he would have found the key in a few mins, remembering where he put it or something. O, and I found the key 30 mins ago (he bought one in Wickes on the way here), in the bathroom where I hid it from the kids Shhhhhh

When the Mrs is in labour you don't say "what can I do?". That's the most useless response ever

hang on , it it a meter key ?
i have one , its called a "key" but its actually a plastic stick with a chip that the credit for electricity is loaded on to . you have to put it i the meter to get electricity.

If hes lost it , then he should look for it.
it would take days to get a replacement.

oh yes your right, cant find that one in there

Glad it's sorted out!

We still need to know: precisely what sort of cupboard it is. If you have neighbours. If your husband is selfish, or if he is a poor man. The battery life of your phone. If he was humiliated being 'hauled out' of work.

Erm, think that's it!

Oh dear

oops , must learn to post faster.

secretlemonade im glad its all sorted ....nothing worse than being cold , in need of cup of tea and unable to get it .

Wasn't a nice thing to say (presume you mean the "what can I do??" but DH is a tit. Came to my rescue in the end mind, being a delicate flower 'n all . We are both tits - I was grumpy and moany and so was he. The labour thing is typical him - I wasn't sure I was, and even then not ready for hospital and he doesn't quite get that I may like to shout at someone someone to hold my hand in the early stages. Wasn't labour in the end, but when it was he kipped in the labour room (MW even turned down the lights for him ) while I had a great routine going on with gas & air, a sick bowl and a lolly pop. God love pethidine.

see what youve caused

OK I forgive him

Cupboard is an odd affair - the mters are in the wall somewhat so the builder built a wall around them more and put in flush doors and there is a lock top and bottom to get inside (to stop the kids doing something or another). The key always sits up high next to the cupboard, wasn't there, rang DH and he said "Oh I took it to open the playroom door" (as that key is lost - all the same funny little star key, we have 2) and said the kids probably have lost it (only because he left it out). Now, I am lazy I presumed DH may have actually put it somewhere that he couldn't remember, but upon coming home it may jog his memory. I had watched the wright stuff looked for ages at this point and was grumpy because I smelt, oddly enough, like a kebab. DH is blissfully unaware & did not come in with scrots over his trousers. :)

MNHQ, please don't delete the comment, it's hilarious, honestly made my day

Mr Bean!!??!!

Aww dang, the utter cow comment has gone...

what was the comment i missed it?

Brilliant. What are you going to do with the found key? Tell DH or plant it somewhere???

pmls so you lost the key,

SOmeone said I sounded like an utter cow to live with

Dunno what to do with the key, I might stick one (the one he rushed out and bought) in the top lock and one in the bottom and feign ignorance.

OP, you sorshund like me. On a good day.

Sound, even

Haha, you lost the key Fantastic! Thanks so much for coming back and saying 'chill out guys, we were both grumpy, it was not a big deal'

Go and hide the spare key now but then come here and tell us where you have hidden it as soon as you have done so

For next time, you understand
