Would have been sooner had I not had to pay out for a new door.
What happened was:
I went to collect Alex from school & it was a glorious day. A friend told me she was having people round with their children for a spontaneous party and I should come. So I jumped at the chance (well, walked slowly to be precise).
It was fab. Alex rarely gets to socialise but he was having a blast on the trampoline and in the pool with half a dozen other kids.
We adults sat back with wine, party food and some music just relaxing and chatting, as you do.
I texted Nick at some point just to let him know as he was at work.
Well......after getting a taxi home (not realising it was gone 11pm) I discovered two police officers in my house.
Unbeknown to me my O/H had not taken his phone or key out with him, couldn't get in and had been worried sick as to where we were.
Of course, to get in and check the house they had knocked a door panel through. Hence, a new door.
Talk about embarrassing.
Anyway, we can laugh about it now.
In the old days it wouldn't have been a problem, everyone had a spare key hanging on a piece of string just had to reach through the letter box to grab it. Bit pointless locking it really when you think about it.
