lol and that's me told! Glad i got stuff wrong as it least it makes you far more untraceable. Still i guess there's a lesson in there for us all to be careful about revealing too much info especially if it puts security at risk. I was worried my post would get me in trouble...then i thought earlier "what if she doesn't see it, someone does trace her and burgles her before she moves the key!" I guess i won't make MI5/6 after all!
Ha! not sure your being sarcy or not but hey! Like i said guess we can all be traced quite easily if we tried..also i know various people who leave keys here there and everywhere so i wasn't the only one..not right i know but still. At the end of the day the key is no longer there and was there for all of about 5 minutes anyway on the days they came. IF someone had burgled us then it wouldn't have been your fault as would have been broken in through sheer attempt like most people are..nightmare but least not by me inviting them in a such!0 -

I new an old lady who lived alone, used to keep a policeman's bonnet on the stand at the bottom of her stairs by her front door, her thinking being, that if someone did break in, on seeing bonnet would scarper, fearing the consequences.
Ah well he doesn't leave a hat so we would have no hope lol!!0 -

Hi thanks but as stated above we have a pretty new house so didnt want to start adding things like that to a newsih door etc, i will just give her a key i guess!
