So pleased to see you’re back. I’ve been wondering how you are. I have a little Mia Tui cross body bag as my work bag and it has a built in clip for keys which is where my keys are right now 😉WinterWarrior said:Hi SA. I am back and catching up. I’m so glad to see you are still planning holidays and so sorry to see that Mr SA’s falling and manipulation is no better. I have my keys attached to an extendable clip sewn into my handbag (like one of those lanyard extenders). That’s just because I’m a bit ocd about where my keys are, but I think that would work well for you. You can unclip them if you aren’t taking your bag…but the clip is fiddly enough to stop them being quickly hidden.I have everything crossed there is no falling tonight ⭐️I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3 -

Well I have to say that that is worrying. I hope your bag is out of reach. I am hoping my imagination is working overtime. Have you considered putting it in the oven.

I think I'd keep a spare folded into a pair of very feminine-looking socks that he's not even going to borrow by accident. He could pick them up and the key wouldn't give itself away.badmemory said:Have you considered putting it in the oven.

Me too @Sun_Addict. Cue for the song from your whole posse of devoted admirers 'You are always on my mind'. You'll know how much - if any- of DH's behaviour is deliberate and I'm sure you'll know what to do with that knowledge. We're here when you're ready to talk; please keep us posted.
