autumn. Some people like upvc, others hate it. I love it. The house is
warmer. There are fewer drafts, and I no longer see the blinds swaying
In the breeze when it's windy outside. They look clean and are easy to
keep clean!! Well pleased.
However 'keys' have become a swear word in our house. The front door
does not lock on closing. You have to use a key. Remembering to turn
around and lock the front door when we come in seems a simple enough
task, but it is proving to be difficult to remember.
Rob is the worse bless him, and there are no signs of improvement!
Having put up pictures, words and cartoons around the house to serve
as a reminder, I am looking at last resort options.
A locksmith is coming Friday morning to advise on what can me done on
our lovely new front door to ensure it is secure when we shut it!!!
The locking mechanisms on these doors seems quite sophisticated with
bolts shooting in all directions. So not sure what options are left.
So, if the locksmith fails, I am taking him to a hypnotherapist. And I
am not kidding. At the same time I may ask if they can persuade him to
turn off the tv at night, and lights we don't need!!
My concern then will of course be that I will end up living with a
complete nurd. He could become such a pain in the neck, and end up
plunging me into darkness. Do you think the hypnotherapist will ensure
moderation not mania prevails after the session.
We shall have to see!!
My dream is to get a German front door but they cannot be had over here, nor can the uPVC ones such as you describe. Nor will my husband agree that we need a new door in the first place!
