to be amused that DH locked me in the house.

[Babieseverywhere]

Guess I should be angry with him but this morning has been so funny.

I couldn't find my house keys this morning, so had to call a friend to take DD1 to school and had to post my five year old through a side window with her school bags etc.

DS's new car seat turns up unexpectedly via courier and again had to persuade delivery man to bring seat to side window, had to pull in seat through window !

We are expecting a King size mattresses and it is bound to turn up today and there is NO WAY it will fit through the side window. LOL.

DH has just rung to tell me that he has just noticed now at midday that he took my keys, cos he couldn't find his but they are "somewhere in the house"

At least I have a good chance of finding his keys in the weird places he leaves them now I know what I am looking for, rather than looking for my keys in my places IYSWIM.

I may be less amused if I don't find HIS keys by school run time, especially as I am not sure I can lift my five year old back into the house from the outside with my bump. Luckily friend who picked her up this morning, will bring her back if I'm not at school at 3.20pm, bless her.

Off to look for his keys...

I locked myself out today, had to go to eldest DS's school to get his key. His class had moved, so it took an extra 15 minutes.

Yep, DH will have to get me a set of spare keys to be kept in the key basket, give me time to go for a nice run this evening (as I have been stuck inside with D&V children this morning, yuck) and promise of a nice spicy takeaway curry at the weekend.

We just have our own keys and never use one another's set. Neighbour and PIL have spare sets, just in case (but more in case of being locked out than in :))

this happened to a friend of mine a few years ago. her DH took her keys (not sure why) and left her and 4 small children (including a baby that was days old!) locked in the house. she had to get herself and all the children including the buggy out through the living room window to get the oldest child to school. which involved utting the baby in the infant carrier and passing it out to the eldest child who was 5 so that she could manouver the buggy through the window.

"My ex used to take the nearest set of keys (knowing they weren't his) and then top it off by shifting the cars around on the driveway so he could take the one that "someone" - never him - had remembered to fill up with petrol"

the husband of an ex work colleague did this to her once. he was running late for work and jsut took her car as he knew his had no petrol. he didn't even let her know. so she was left to get the dcs to school and herself to work in a car that had no petrol. she had to call her parents to come and take the dcs to school and drop her off at work, go and get petrol for her DH's car and drop it off to her at work so she could get home later on. i was furious on her behalf.

I once accidentally locked DH in the shed for several hours .
