when I leave in the morning, I always unlock my door & security door & bring out stuff into the hallway in several loads: yesterday's paper/papers, small bag of garbage & any recyling I may have, then my handbag & carry bag. Finally I turn off the radio & light, close & lock the doors then pick up everything & wander off down the corridor into my day.

One day as I was slamming the door I realised I wasn't holding my keys ... so I said something appropriate & headed upstairs to my neighbour who has my spare key & hammered on his door till I woke him (he's a heavy sleeper) & collected my key.

That was when I realised I needed to do something with my 3rd set of keys (which lived in my living room, very useful place to keep them) as my neighbour was leaving for holidays the same day.

3rd set are now with friends in a nearby suburb.
