We got locked in our bedroom!

I'd just fed Joshua and went to go to the toilet but couldn't open the bedroom door. The handle was going down but the little metal bit wasn't coming back. I woke Matt up thinking I was tired and being stupid but he couldn't open it either. Luckily he keeps a couple of penknives in the drawer by his bed so was able to unscrew the handle, and then pry the metal back and open the door. It was actually really scary though as was imagining Imogen waking up and screaming when she couldn't get in our room. Or what it there had been a fire? Obviously we would have had to kick it down but would have happened to Immi is that time and what if I had been on my own?

When we inspected the handle after we could see it had obviously broken at some point before and the previous tenants must have repaired it but putting nails through it that had completely screwed the mechanism so i'm surprised it didn't happen before.

awww poor you hun. At least Matt managed to open it. xx

aww no ,, glad matt got it open hun

That must have been scary with your son! But can i just say, please dont think bad of me, but i did have a little titter to myself imagining you hung naked out the bathroom window

Awww Hun, sometimes the thought of what if is more scary than the actual event, glad your all ok though xx

^Definitely. In reality it wasn't that bad, although it was worrying when it was taking some time to pry open but I was just stressing out worrying about how it could have been worse.

Sorry Michelle I had to laugh at your stuck naked in your bathroom although it would have been scary

Don't blame you for being scared for a few minutes there!

On a more humerous note, we were at my sister's one day and OH was taking aaaaages in the bathroom. All the poo jokes had run dry and his cup of tea had long gone cold before he finally emerged looking rather flustered. Turns out the door handle had come off in his hand and the middle bit had fallen out the other side. He'd been trying to phone me but I don't get any signal at their house so he'd ended up improvising with one of my nepphew's bath toys!

^oh dear, thats my worse nightmare. I avoid public toilets and toilets at others houses as much as I can so I never end up in that situation

Shell, you never wee at anyone else's house???

(You're really entertaining me tonight lol)

I really really try not to unless I know and trust their lock

I wee every half hour (according to OH) so I jsut have to trust other people's doors lol

Lol, in pregnancy i was peeing every 20mins it seemed so I had to stop being so silly and just go but yeah I avoid it as much as possible normally
