    morning all. Got a message last night that my sixth form class have gone ski-ing, so no teaching this morning!!

    Last night - quick precis:

    6pm lock up to go to work. Pishing it down. Key gets jammed in door half way round. Get very wet trying to get key out as it won't go either way. Key eventually comes out.

    9.20pm Get home. Knackered. Key in lock, won't turn - either way :eek: . Pull door, push door, won't turn. Get wet. Text OH who is still at his house. He'll be 5 minutes. I sit in car, cold and aching from class

    9.45pm 5 minutes have turned into 20. OH turns up. Key won't turn. OH gets screwdriver and removes handle/casing. No joy. OH gets pliers. Key snaps in lock :eek: I find the keys for the other door in my bag(yale and a 'long' style key for a door not used in about 4 years). Yale - fine. Long key? There's one in the lock on the other side and it won't push out as it's half turned :eek: . Getting even wetter.

    10.30pm OH goes to back of house and luckily I haven't locked the top window of the bedroom (I have a bungalow). He climbs up ladders reaches in and undoes latch. He moves all the stuff away from the door I don't use that had the key on the other side and I get in, wet and knackered (long time since I've felt that :rotfl: )


    Lock then fine when door given a good push from the other side..........:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

    11pm - eat dinner looking like a sticky haired poodle......:rotfl:

    Seems all the rain/snow had swelled the door and it wasn't quite shut and so the lock had somehow 'caught' half locked.

    Apparently the next stage was to take the beading off the door and remove the glass!

    Job for the day? Go to key cutter.............
    And the moral of the story is............

  • have to say I was starting to feel a slight panic as the time went on. If the top bedroom window had been locked, it would have got interesting trying to remove glass!!

    Also did think - if I'd have been single - I'd still be sat in the car thinking - I wonder what a 24 hour slow cooked bolognaise tastes like.........I guess he has his uses - occasionally :rolleyes:
