2. Getting new tiles for the kitchen floor, thinking all shades of white are the same, had to replace them
3. Back in the days when I was coloring my hair, getting a color that called itself "blonde" but turned out to be more like red and looked awful
4. Buying the wrong size clothes online, not so much a "mistake" as a gamble that didn't work out

5 naughty things you did as a child

I was quite good really but here’s 5.
Spilt nail varnish on my mum & dads lovely new dressing table and tried to hide the mark.

Played truant, just the once & got caught.

Stuck my tongue out at a neighbour and got marched home by the ear & sent to bed!

Picked and ate the only big juicy pear on the tree in the garden & denied it.

Stood up on a table in Ranby’s cafe and tried to touch the electric ceiling fan while my mum was in the self service queue, she ran over and slapped the back of my legs.
