Oh no Jo that just isn't on!!! In all seriousness there is no need for her to have a key!

My MIL has one but a) I like her and b) she would never ever just walk in without knocking first and c) it means she can water our plants etc when we're away

I have hers for similar reasons Your MIL lives in Wales, why the heck would she need a key?

Actually Kaz it sounds as though she had to lock up behind her as no-one else was in when she left on Monday
With hindsight of course she could have been told the key wasn't spare and she had to post it back through the letterbox, so hopefully this time she'll be told it's needed
I think Bb's mum has a key, from when I was having chemo she would come over once a week or so. She never comes without us knowing, but she doesn't knock, just walks in (the door's not locked)

Thinking about it, that's maybe because we don't have a back door (well we do, but you can't get to it). At my parents' house I used to walk round to the back door and just go in, calling out as I did so.

That's it Di, our door doesn't have a Yale type lock so can't be pulled shut to lock it and seeing as no one was in on Monday when she was leaving she took the key with her when she locked up, knowing she could bring it back today. It's now back in the drawer I didn't really want it putting through the letterbox because knowing our luck it'd be the first time Billy decided to try and swallow something random

Over my dead body would she permanantly be allowed a key to our house

She arrived about 3.30 - I was just leaving to take Billy for his afternoon walk so made her a cuppa and left her with Alan Titchmarsh I did the polite thing when I got back and sat chatting to her. She told me about people who'd fallen over a cliff near to where she lives, friends and family who are ill, people who have died, a car crash that she saw on the way up...all cheery stuff. I heard it all again when John came home - he asked her if she'd got any good news Such a ray of sunshine.

what a good DIL you are jo
hope MIL got a choccie biscuit with her cuppa
and tea /toast in bed in the morning after you have been to the gym of course

Really glad she gave the key back Jo, it would have preyed on your mind if you knew she had one. That's how our front door is too, it's a relief, I hated it the automatic locking when I lived alone, thinking I could lock myself out!
She's obviously really hard work, it must be a bit easier now she's usually much further away x
