Just got in from fetching the Smudgelet from Scouts.
Interesting to discover that we'd never make it as burglars.
Despite two windows having been left open, and a larger one being fairly insecure, the Smudgelet and I were unable to manoevre his now-much-bigger body in sufficiently without breaking any bones in the process. We even managed to get the back door open.... about four inches. Well, it is the door which has all the boxes still piled in front of it.
In the process, the Smudgelet and his trousers parted company. Interesting how many people walked past totally oblivious to the woman and the boy in his underpants trying to break into a house at night by the light of a mobile phone. (A mobile phone which was decidedly lacking in credit)
Thank goodness we have free calls to my brother. From Scotland he was able to go online and find the details of our nearest locksmith.
Know how long it took him to break in? Thirty seconds. Thirty seconds! £112 for thirty seconds of work. I'm in the wrong job!
Next time I go to fetch the Smudgelet from Scouts, remind me to check that I've picked the right keyring up.
