That is exactly like my late father......even at 50 I was too young to be trusted with important information. I wasn't allowed to drive his car and I wasn't supposed to know where he hid the key to his safe. Ho hum....

I wouldn't trust you either.

I have now officially been given the key code to my parents' safe. It's the one that contains the keys to all of the other safes they have, has their wills in it, who their solicitor is, contains various other useful paperwork and so on. It's amazing what a death in the family can do... they are currently cleaning out my grandfather's home and as it turns out my uncle was the only person who unofficially knew what the code to his father's safe was...

I didn't like to point out that we already knew it :whistle: because not so long ago they managed to go on holiday without their insurance document (they would never risk the idea of us emailing them a digital copy) and then proceeded to book one of them onto a train (6am start not getting back until gone midnight) just to collect it at a staggering cost of over £250.... when my mother mentioned this to me asking me if we could collect her from the railway station run her to their home and back again, we tactfully asked why they hadn't just asked us go over and put said documents in the post to them guaranteed next day delivery for £6.95 given that they didn't leave the country for another week.... this meant we had to be given the code for the safe.... oddly we wrote this down, discussed the matter and put a copy of it in our safe because we were pretty certain that no-one else had 'officially' been given it and even unofficially probably hadn't given that they would rather pay +£250 in rail fares to come and collect a piece of paper!

parents hey. :wacko:

My step father rang me and gave it to me whilst my mother was out. I suspect my mother will ring me at some point and do the same thing! :laugh:

I wait with :popcorn: for the next phone call where I will yet again have to pretend I don't know and won't tell anyone. :surrender:

Wearing mine right now at work, way too nice to cycle in though :okay:

Had them a few weeks and like them very much, only downside is the front pockets, they have a hole in them where the elastic bit is and this becomes larger over time meaning they need sewing or you can't really use them.
Was pointed out on some of the reviews on the M&S site too.
