Balls.

My house has one of those types of lock which prevents you from turning the key should there be a key in the other side.

Mrs Walsh is asleep, and not waking to me calling her phone ( got back from work)

Do I a) drive somewhere for the next 3 hours until she wakes for work..
B) make a st load of noise, irritating the neighbours in the process..
C) kip in the car.

D) something more creative.

It's a shame it's not a clear night, I would have found somewhere nice to stargaze.

Working hard I see!

I'm tempted to drive to the sea side, watch the sun come up. It is about 80 miles from here though...

Ok sunrise idea won't work, it's too late.

Adult work won't work either, I'm not that annoyed with her...

I am now in the house, and about to attempt to sleep. I can also confirm that Hunstanton is just as boring at 4:45 in the morning as anywhere else. laugh Killed 3 hours though.

Plus I got 15 minutes of sea air.

She is looking suitably sheepish...

Drive to b&q, wait for it to open and buy a thumb turn barrel. Was always happening before I swapped mine.

I did the same. I changed my front, back and patio doors to a thumb turn barrel lock. Also, I had all barrels the same, so only one key for all. With a hidden spare locked in a hidden wall key safe just in case.

Classic trick. I used to do the same when my missus was on nights and her sister popped round wink

Get yourself checked and change all the bank accounts smile

Loads of people seem to get locked out of their house. Doesn't everyone have a spare key hidden somewhere obscure outside? I do, in a key safe. It's so well hidden it takes me 10 mins to find, and I know where it is!

Thumb turn barrels are unsafe. It makes it easy for a burglar to break in, unless it's a high security anti-snap barrel.

The answer to this issue is an anti barricade barrel and key set. I have a spare brand new one with 2 keys which I think is a 35/35 yours for £25

Someone had to do it and keep up PH traditions.
