  • Don't accidentally pour some Fairy liquid onto your kitchen tap then wonder why the next few glasses of water taste soapy. Yuck!
  • Do not go down to let the chickens out at 6.30am in dressing gown [ long ] and flip flops, carrying a full watering can, and step in a new hole dug by the deerhound that wasn't there the night before.
    I fell into the raspberry canes and squashed a lovely crop of berries,:mad: broke the flip flops and hope no one was looking as dressing gown tie came undone , soaked from head to guess where !and all was bared!! :eek::eek:

    Dont...........go to work.

    Work is very bad for your health. Last time I went a few days ago I got Gastroenteritis. In fact most illness I have is caught at work.
    Yep...still at it, working out how to retire early.:D....... Going to have to rethink that scenario as have been screwed over by the company. A work in progress.

    Further to the 'got in the wrong car' stories. My ex and I were leaving the theatre one night when he opened the door of a 'common as muck' cortina and slid in, straight on to the lap of the astounded owner. The gaping mouths and streched eyes of the car's occupants will live with me for ever.

    Also, when on a strict diet, don't copy a hint you read about freezing your Mars Bars so you can't eat them at unauthorised times.
    You wouldn't believe what dentists charge to repair broken teeth.

    My Mother-in-law is getting confused these days (she's 93) and regularly tries to put the remote control where the cordless phone should be. Yesterday she picked up the remote when the phone rang, said hello a couple of times and passed it to my DH, I in the meantime had sorted the call upstairs, and when I went downstairs to say what it was, he was busy saying hello into the remote control and turned to me and said ' you must have got to it at the same time - no-one is answering me'!!

    It was only when I took the remote off him and turned the tv on that he understood.

    Dont.......put some bread into a toaster that you know can be dodgy and not 'pop up' sometimes, then walk away and forget about it.


    Result......kitchen on fire...


    I was 16 is my only defence.


    my dad put a pan on the stove with a bearing he was trying to remove, he went back in to the garage & forgot about it , result kitchen, front room on fire, he dialled 999 from the detached garage & then realised snoopy the dog was upstairs on the bed haveing her siesta, so he had a plumbers gas cannister in his hand from working in the garage , so he threw it to break the bedroom window for the dog to escape, but it went through the glass , still ignited , landed on the bed & started a fire upstairs as well:T

    Don't forget your bag in a rush to get mum to a and e and drive car through barrier into car park before you realise you have no money to pay for said car park and no phone to ring husband to bring you some. Thankfully a very kind passerby let me use her phone to ring hubby to explain so he could bring me some cash.

    Don't take the remote control to school instead of your scientific calculator your mum will wonder why the tv won't turn over. Not me a boy I went to school with.

  • Don't assume that the banana loaf that you forgot to put the sugar in "will be alright". It wont. And your family will spit it out.

    (This one was a looong time ago) Don't open a bottle of sparkling wine with a cork, in a room with a suspended ceiling. The panel with a hole in will not go away, no matter which corner of the room you put it in. Your parents will notice and be annoyed, very annoyed.

    Its not a good idea to put your socks in the bin and your dinner plate in the washing basket. Repeatedly.:D:D:D:D:D
