OH he is doing my head in! It's like motivating a sloth! Thanks for your wise words. Yes, I had two keys, unfortunately still on the same keyring. Der. He was bringing things in from Dunelm, new washing up bowl and drainer and storage boxes, all checked, nothing. The car is all locked up so he must have had them to lock it all but I can't remember him giving them back to me as he had a friend in and had got McD's so settled to eat. All packaging still checked, nothing. Even checked the friend, nothing. The car is parked just outside the front door, with only a small garden. He really is testing my patience though and the next four weeks can not go fast enough. Bring on the solitude and me putting something down and it staying put. [exasperated worn out mum]
