Ok so today after work we were meant to drive up to Stoke on Trent to continue house renovating. To save Mr Smow coming all way home then starting the 200 mile drive from here we agreed he’d get train from central London to Staines station and I’ll drive there to pick him up. Then we’d carry on journey. So he gets train towards Staines. I leave in car to drive there. M25 was gridlocked due to accident and everyone going away for half term. Took me 1.5 hours. I get there. Wait for his train. He arrives looking very very guilty. He then says “ you’re going to kill me but I’ve left the keys to the house in Stoke at home”. Aaaggghh!!!!! So we then have to get back in car to do the exact journey I’ve literally just done!! By the time I get home I’ve done a 4 hr round trip to end up where I started! At home! He then says. “ right shall we be off now?” Sorry??.. I’ve just spent 4 hours going nowhere!!
So I have sulking Mr Smow right now.....

*** that !! 10 am no earlier !
Try snuggling under the duvet until 7.30. :)
You mean you didn't take the route recommended on AB by Chris?!
murraymints *** that !! 10 am no earlier !

Oi, pack that in, madam.

due to further negotiation with Smow, mr Smow has relented and allowed her an extra hour in bed.
and you never thought to check to see if the keys were in your own home either?
Do neither of you have a mobile that you can't text each other?
I do apologise for my bad humour, but there is no sympathy from me.
Get an extra set of keys cut

Chris’s route was roughly same direction.

And no he isn’t budging re 7am. Let’s just say icy atmosphere is an understatement
nahhh..Sat mornings are for bacon 'n' broon and crossies.. THEN travel ! ...
Stick with the duvet - what's he going to do?
I still want to know why he gets the blame.
The keys were in their house.
Question Author
He always always has the keys on him - I’ve never had them
C'mon Smow, he's letting you have an extra hour in bed.
If Mr Smow is driving you can put your 'slap' on in the car on the way.
get an extra set cut, as I said
(I do apologise, I'm just in one of those moods)
flushes are not quite what I wanted.

Have recovered, if he's sulking, good, hell mend 'im

I shall be a dutiful wife and drag myself into the car at the god forsaken hour!! Would a hot water bottle and a bottle of Pino Grigio also be acceptable at 7am?. : )
I have a spare set of all the keys in my house, just in case OH should forget them. OH does not know I have them, as I don't want to encourage mental laziness, but I always take my own keys every time I leave the house.
lol Smow, just don't get muddled and put the pino in the hot water bottle.
Question Author
Good thinking jno!!
jno, one bottle of pino in hot water bottle for emergencies, and the other in hand with a straw - purely to keep sampling the qualtiy
Not my journey but still crazy. I was at a meeting in Blackpool, pre satnav days. I was waiting in reception for two colleagues driving up from Bristol who should arrive by 12 noon. By 3pm I was seriously worried but there was little I could do as I was in the meeting. At 3.15 I was called by reception, a phone call for me. My colleagues hadn't looked at a map as a friend of one of them said, take M6 to Preston, M55 to Blackpool, you can't miss it. They missed it, they were in Glasgow. I said, how on earth did you miss the M55, we were just chatting came the reply. Guess the gender.
O Smow, quelle nightmare for you. Hope it goes better tomorrow.
