What's the clumsiest thing you've done recently?

Nearly fell today - the washing machine door was open, I caught myself on it, nearly tipped head first into the laundry basket but managed to clutch on to the recharging vacuum cleaner which luckily remained attached to the wall.

Kicked the leg of the plastic garden chair as I was about to sit down on (blasted clogs which I havent worn for ages stuck out more than I bargained for!!).

Tea up in the air, cup crashing into pieces on the patio, me up ended and soaked. Knee kicked over tall pot, which of course tumbled down steps and broke.

As it did so it knocked the head off of a statue, which shot up a couple of feet in the air, and as they say, what goes up must come down - right on my noggin!

My husband came out to see what all the noise was about, and said ''What are you doing down there?''

The chair is a write off. The clogs are in the bin. My knee is sporting a graze, my head has a lump and my husband is in the dog house grin (not really!)

As a matter of fact I just dropped a blob of hummus on my I pad.....

Fell down the stairs battered and bruised though thankfully nothing broken although my bruises were spectacular.

Only a nearly but I went out with the dog to post birthday cards to my sons-in-law who have birthdays two days apart.
The post box is next to the dog poo bin, fractionally beyond it, and, yes, I had got as far as opening the lid before I stopped myself!

Knocked my coffee all over me and the stranger next to me in Pret A Manger ?

Spilled an entire cup of coffee lifting it from the machine. It went all over units, washing machine, shoes, floor and worktop. I was mopping it up for ages and smelling it for days.

At the risk of sounding like someone else....on FaceTime to grandson I made some kind of gesture and knocked tea on table, floor, trousers, chair but fortunately not on I pad. Amused DGS no end.

Mine was on Saturday, I was sat at the kitchen table on a video call chatting to my sister. I was in the midst of explaining something and when I do that I always flail my arms for some unknown reason. Well anyway I caught my glass of water and knocked it into my lap. Played it cool and sat in wet jeans for the last 10 minutes of the chat. Think I got away with that one, my sister didn't notice (I think).

I also stubbed my toe on a door frame sometime last week, which is still a little sore now.

Hope you've all had a good day so far, Helen xx
