More fun and games in the Mum household. Had to break out of my own bedroom at 5.30 am. Husband was trying to get out early without waking me up but couldn’t open the bedroom door. Turns out it had slammed shut in the night due to a breeze from the open windows and dislodged the centre pin in the door knob so it was just swivelling. Cue a bit of head scratching and attempts to phone slumbering teenagers in their bedrooms (always doomed to failure as it would take a chain saw chopping the legs off their beds to wake them up). Whilst husband was contemplating climbing down a line of knotted sheets hung out of the window, I made a serendipitous find of a long forgotten set of mini screwdrivers from a Christmas cracker that I had chucked in a pot on the chest of drawers. After a fiddly 5 minute operation necessitating first locating my glasses, I had removed the doorknob got the door open and reassembled it. I knew my chaotic filing of useless objects would come in handy one day!
