Last night I managed to lose my keys. With only 7 on me I had no chance of getting to my parents' house to get the spare key. The only solution was to climb up and over my balcony. This involved taking the table from outside a nearby cafe, plus two stools, and balancing them all on top of each other. I nearly crippled myself in the process but I got in!
By the way, this is even more difficult if you're wearing skinny jeans and have had five pints.

It doesn't bode well for security though - if you can get in what's to say that burglars can't?

You should try it in a tight skirt after ten Pernod and blacks!

What burglar is going to bring a table and two stools?
The type of burglar who would use a ladder.

strange No one phoned the police?
Not really - it was after 3am, there was no one around.

Well done

It's my own stupidity for not locking the balcony doors - although obviously it was a good job I hadn't on this occasion!

I am glad you made it safely indoors Smurfboy and were not hurt in the process. I am also happy that you will get your keys back, it is good news that they've been found.
I can honestly say I have never had a night like that (thank goodness) and I can also honestly say I am very sad I was not behind a bush with a video camera taping the efforts you made to regain access to your home. I think that would have been worth seeing, and then re-watching quite a few times. It must have been quite some balancing act.

You could send it to You've Been Framed!

I had a night like that once, my friend and I decided to try Special Brew - we woke up in a ditch covered in scratches and to this day we don't know how we got there or what happened!!!

I knew someone who said they went out drinking and woke up in a car on a hill, not knowing how they got there
