Have you ever had a nice trip out and thoroughly enjoyed your day, only to return home and suddenly realise you’ve lost your keys, leaving you stranded and locked out of your own home? You’re not alone as it happens to thousands of us every year – forgetfulness is singlehandedly keeping locksmiths well and truly in business!

When I was 14, I got locked out of my house and had to climb on top of the conservatory before shimmying through a window – not something we recommend doing, but it got me back in the house! This got me thinking, there must be a lot of hilarious stories about getting locked out of houses, cars and garages, forcing you to find inventive ways to get back in.
We are giving you, our avid readers, the chance to win a £50 John Lewis voucher, all you have to do is share your ‘Locked Out’ story with us.

There are 3 vouchers up for grabs and our favourite 3 stories will each win a £50 voucher! The competition closes on August 5th 2016 and the winners will be chosen on Monday 8th August. Good luck!
