Silly things we do

I took all the washing out of the washing machine to hang it out to dry. It was still dirty, I'd forgotten to start the washing machine.

I also washed and tumble dried my wrist watch on the highest setting when I left it in the pocket of my trousers. Best thing was, it only needed a new battery.

I walked home from work many years ago only to find my dh standing on the front door step asking where is the car.
It was because i went shopping first was my excuse as i always walked to work.
I never lived it down.

Twice I've put my freshly made cup of tea in the fridge and then carried the milk jug into the living room to drink.
Reading all the above is a huge relief to me...

I need to add another but it would take too long to type. I’ve put this on my watch list though as it keeps making me laugh! Excellent topic sandye

Two things you should never do. Firstly don't spray hairspray into your arm pits and secondly don't spray anti perspirant onto your hair. Yes I've done both.

I once put hard boiled eggs, which didn’t seem to be quite hard enough, in the microwave to finish off and when I took them out they exploded...over the floor, the ceiling, me, and the dogs had a wonderful time licking it off each other.

I spent hours making stock from leftover veg and chicken carcass. I never normally do stuff like that but decided to be ‘good’. After several hours simmering I then drained the whole lot down the sink. ?‍♀️ Think I’ll go back to oxo.

Glad it's not just me . Yesterday I reached for my stay perfume had two or three sprays before I realized I had used my vitamin D spray!

I ran a nice hot bath and realised when I stepped into it that I still had my socks on.

I tried to change the tv channel with the fixed line phone during lockdown. That's when I knew it was getting to me...

Dow just re-read!
Doing silly things still. Night night ?

No daughter left her phone in the car! - and I texted it!

Ro that really is a classic!
Grannyrebel did you get your phone back?

Many years ago - I hasten to add ? I dropped my daughter off in town before going shopping myself. I noticed she'd left here phone in the car.
I texted her straight away: "You've left your phone"

Gave myself such a fright when the message came through on her phone sat right next to me!

Recycling my old phone for Dog's Trust and put my new phone in the envelope and posted it!

As a very young mum I called the fire brigade as I could not turn my gas hob off, eight fire men in breathing equipment turned up, sirens and blue lights .

As a teenager cooking my first Vesta meal with crispy noodles done in hot fat, the frying pan caught fire and I ran with it to find my mum ?
Nobody got hurt but my dads best sports jacket got burnt.

Severnsider, you are not alone. I have allowed several things to boil dry, including eggs. The smell was disgusting, but not as disgusting a s the stench from burnt-out liver. I may have mentioned before, but not everyone has been here as long as I have, that I carefully prepared to make couscous, measuring out the grains and covering it with water. Much to my surprise, when I returned to serve it, I found that I had used oatmeal. I do not recommend oatmeal couscous.

I once used a guillotine at work and cut through my scarf as well as the paper!

Oh, I am so relieved!!
I made a chocolate cake using gravy browning instead of cocoa.

In an attempt to make my hair look respectable I dried it on rollers, and went round the supermarket with a large green prickly one attached to the back of my jumper.

Eggshell in the jug put into the microwave, raw egg( for scrambled) tipped into the food waste.
Smouldering smell while cooking; decorative scarf dangling in gas hob

I had a pile of old bank statements waiting for disposal. My brother insisted on lending me his super duper new shredder to use and gave me the instruction leaflet with it. I realised 10 seconds too late that the first piece of paper I inserted to test it was the instruction leaflet ?

Had holiday job in an office, filing ....used one of those rubber thimble things? Chatting to colleague while idly playing with stapler i stapled the thimble to my finger.....

Received my new bank debit card. Signed new one, cut up old one, threw them both in the bin.

Years ago, drove into town, parked in supermarket car park. Wandered roundetc etc, walked home....... only when supposed to go out that evening did I realise car still in car park.

It was the hot tap so the gas bill will be colossal too?
