I don't know if I'm just weird, or what, but such is my horror of having strangers/workmen in my house that I'd far, far sooner unblock the loo myself than call in a plumber.:o I keep the little plastic gloves that come with hair colour for the purpose.

And if I had £1 for every time I've "undeleted" something from the kitchen bin, I'd be a rich woman! I shall say no more!;)

Once,when my aunt was visiting,I'd made soup.She only had about half of her bowl.The next day I heated it up and ate it myself.:o

I've just remembered another that happened not long ago:I had just made a loaf in the BM and it was cooling on the wire rack.My kitty (aka HRF:Her Royal Furriness) loves to lick bread,so I never leave bread out,except this time I thought the hotness of the loaf would be a sufficient deterrent.

Needless to say,I heard suspicious sounds emanating from the kitchen.True to form,she was licking the loaf....

That didn't stop me from eating it however!

Ok I can't believe I'm admitting this but ... once I dropped my mobile into a public toilet and I reached into the toilet to try to get my phone out. In the end I couldn't get the phone and had to buy a new one which is probably for the best as I don't think I'd ever have felt totally comfortable using that one again, even if it had survived the dousing.

I'm loving this thread. I've also unblocked sinks and toilets, dumpster-dived, eaten stuff the cats have licked, etc, but I'm starting to think I'm just more disgusting than most people. Oh well it hasn't hurt me yet. I'd totally do the family cloth but my OH would have a heart attack if I even mentioned it (we're like yin and yang in our grossness tolerance!).

As for me I rummage through the wheelies ( when no one looks and preferably when it's dark):D, got lots of useful things in such a way: several plates which people didnt want to wash and threw away, salad bowls, nice big scissors, come in useful for material cutting when I sew.

...when you find yourself planning tomorrow night's dinner/the next five days dinners round what won't fit in your freezer.

..when you give your neighbour a pick from your whoopsies so she'll let you use her freezer to put the rest of your whoopsies in.

...when your son is saying "But I don't really like fillet steak, didn't you get any sausages?"

,,,when you get so excited about the bargains you've got in your trolley that you forget to buy the rest of your shopping list.

...when you can't help but smirk as you see the look of panic on the face of your chief Whoopsie rival as you wheel your trolley right past her and she realises she's missed the main action.

Yup, it was one of these nights at the whoopsie section. The kind of night where the shelves are overflowing with Finest this and that, the staff don't give a whatever and everything is reduced to 10p or 20p. I dug the emergency £10 out the back of my purse and went a bit crazy, must admit. Trolley full of bargains, and I had to drag myself away from the even huger pile left because I knew I had no-where else to put it. Oh, joy. :j:beer::j


Anyway, I've calmed down a bit now. Sad, innit? So when exactly did you realise you'd taken this OS stuff a wee bit too far, maybe?
