The old ‘key under a rock’ trick would be useful in this scenario I think! But...

I called in to see my sis in law one day, we were both about 7 months pregnant at the time. When I was leaving she came to the door and we stood just outside it, and it shut. Her two year old daughter was inside, we were out. The patio doors at back were unlocked but there was no way to get to the back of her house without climbing over a six foot fence and a gate! They were building some new houses across the field opposite, so we waved and called to a couple of chaps who were on some scaffolding - they must of thought their luck was in... until they came across and realised we both had big baby bumps lol. But one of them very kindly climbed over the gate and fence, came through the house and let us back in. Relief and I bet we were the talk of the site that day smile

Coming over all tidy this morning, I took the rubbish outside, ready for tomorrow's collection. The door closed gently behind me, leaving me locked out in the cold. Luckily DH was in and let me back in. Felt such a twerp.
