    So here I sit. I am not meant to be here, but here I am.

    On Wednesday night, it was the N.Staff Guzzi Club branch Christmas do. I took the key from the front door and looped it on to the front porch door and in turn looped them on to my car keys and went out and had a good evening. When I got home, I removed the door keys from my car key and hung them up inside the house.

    Tonight, I come home and enter through the side gates and garage the bike and end the house from the rear, the way I typically come and go, so don’t have front door keys on my bunch.

    I shower and prepare for the work Christmas do at the Frog n Bucket with dinner and free bar, then come downstairs for my shoes that reside on the rack in the porch.

    No key in the door or hung up.

    I check the clothes I wore on Wednesday.

    No key.

    I text Mrs C in work on the late shift and ask if she knows where they are.

    She rings back, “Have you found them?”

    “No darling”

    “Look on the key hook on the porch”

    “And how do I get in the porch darling”

    “Oh”

    So here I sit, grounded, shoes not 3 metres from me. :bang:

    Three options.
    1) break into porch.
    2) buy more shoes on way out.
    3) stay in and sulk.

    I have a REAL problem with lending keys or splitting bunches of keys. Maybe it is because I did it once and ended up drilling the lock off our front door. So no, get your own cut.

    4) stay in, tidy up, load the dish washer, start the washing gaining brownie points whilst playing the guilt trip card. :sneaky:

    No, 3 is pure negativity.
    4 is using a set back as a spring board, which is positive strategy.

    Now being homemade are Egg n Bacon McMuffins, while I enjoy a brew in bed. Keep my cool and I'll get some mileage out of this.

    You must either work training people or in middle management with that kind of reply!

    Either way it was a great excuse to get out of a works do.
    :D
