Can laugh now as all ended well, but was in a state earlier!
After a lovely morning at a meadow and a picnic by a stream, brought kids home and got babies to sleep. Older kids playing happily (me being shop keeper) all going well (should have known it was too well).
When babies woke up, brought them downstairs and told older two to get ready to go to the library.
Pops to the toilet before going, AND THE BLOODY DOOR WOULDN'T OPEN!!!!!
Hadn't even locked it, the stupid handle wouldn't turn. My DD 8, DS 17 months, mindee 6 and mindee 16 months were all in the house and I couldn't get out the loo!!!
DD passed bread knife (explained to her the one she butters her toast with) under door and I unscrewed and dismantled handle but couldn't get out still. Trying to kick it down, but very small loo, and very large arse, so no room to move and no chance of door budging!!!!
Had to get DD to go to neighbour (stressing to mindee not to leave the house or leave the door open, if she had gone out and door had shut behind her babies would have been completely alone and noone would have been able to get in).
Neighbour comes in and tries to get me out but couldn't (not panicking quite so much by now as adult with kids). She had to go and get another neighbour who is a builder from across the road, who i don't even know, to come and try, and he eventually let me out.
By which time I was completely and totally embarrased and wanted to flush myself down the toilet!
So close to having to calling the fire brigade!!!!!! I would have been mortified!
DP comes in, and is more concerned about the state of the bloody door!
Sorry it's long, but wanted to set the scene!!! (I know I shall win no literary prizes). Hope it raised a chuckle somewhere!
