Locked out of the house stories...

[blue fairy]

This morning I foolishly locked myself out of the house.

I was wearing my PJ's, complete with glamourous bed hair and had just dropped Andy off at the train station.
I was without my mobile phone and wallet.. Both were happily inside the house.
I decided my best option was to go to the neighbours and knock on their door to use their phone. Before approaching them with the scary bed hair, I wet my hair using the garden hose and tried to control the curls! I did not take into account that I would get soaked and look like a contestant in a wet t-shirt competition however! :
I woke them up, but thankfully, they looked worse than I did.

I tried calling Andy (who has keys) only to find his mobile phone turned off!!! I then called my dad, who lives nearby, and he was able to bring over some tools, we assesed the situation and thought we would try to take the door off its hinges, and if that failed - smash the glass on a window.
We managed to get into the house by taking the door off it's hinges.

Thank goodness.

Anyway, the point to the thread... I am sure I am not the only person to have done this, and would love to hear about how other people got locked out of their houses, and how they got back in!
I am sure there are some great stories out there!
