Panic stations!

I have, thankfully, never lost my keys. I'm not one for losing anything, even biros.

But I keep my normal keys in my handbag, a second set in the inside pocket of my jacket pocket and a third in a place only known to me.

I've only ever lived alone, so it's 1000% essential I know where all keys are at all times!

The thought of being locked out of my house scares me silly!

We still have a landline, makes a lot of noise and hard to turn off!

Luckily, I have never locked myself out, but I always keep a spare one in my car. If I am out, then the car will be used as I am limited as to how far I can walk. The other option that I have is to put a spare in the garage freezer (garage seldom is ever locked)

I think a good talking to is in order

This!

Why haven't you a key in a safe place then no need for panic.

I would be giving your DH a rollicking.

Especially as the downstairs window was left open.

I never switch my phone of as I don’t need to.

Well done for climbing in a window though. Very impressive.

Definitely recommend a key safe - saves a lot of aggro!

Key safe. That way I also don’t take my keys on holiday…

Like you Sarnia I have a spare not where anyone would know just for such an occassionally

The only place I could leave one is under a pot, and apparently that’s the first place burglars look.

A neighbour does have a spare key, but he was out.

Some people bury their spare key, in a plastic bag of course. If you are unable to do that have a spare in the car.

Get a key safe. I have one in my porch cupboard

Did you bop him over the head with something ?

No, it was all my fault for forgetting to take a key!
And this morning dh had driven for half an hour into central London, where we were visiting his relatives last night - to fetch the phone I’d left there! NB I was perfectly willing to go myself (bus and tube) but he seemed keen to go, so I accepted with thanks.

Nasty and very worrying for you at the time but I am glad it turned out not to be an emergency.

All’s well that ends well.

I have Keysafe fitted and I even remember the code. The minor problem is that I am partially sighted, so I cannot see to read the numbers.
