from Tinks thread about Christmas memories... putting this here cos don't want to derail it... (pah I never do.... shut up at the back there!) Boo hiss!...

Anyways... as I said in that thread I am very forgetful... I usually get half dressed.. top on underwear on and leave me trousers til last so I don't get the cat brushing up against my legs and leaving balls of fluff on me just before I go out... I can't count the number of times I have opened the front door and taken a step outside and then realised I not got me trews on :(:point:

[Tink]

LOLOLOL!
I once went to work with my trousers on backwards. Didn't notice until I went to put my hand in my pocket. :spring: Yepper. Pretty darn embarrassed that day! :eek: :lol:

[Britchick]

i went to work in my slippers once!!! noone told me and they were all laughing at me! :sorry:

[Tink]

Brats! :(

A woman at at place I used to work came in with two different shoes one day (they were at least the same color). She went around showing everyone as if she were pleased with her selection! :lol:

[mumof2]

i'd been at work for hours when i went for a wee and as i looked down i noticed i had odd shoes on - OMG!!

I scuttled back to my desk, pointed out my error to the girl i sat next to....we had a good giggle then i didn't move from that spot 'til it was time to leave!


TINK!! *that* wasn't me!! :lol:

[Beccaberry]

I turned up for work one day a few years back wandered through half of my day doing busywork, finally sat down at my desk and noticed a "draft." Excused myself to the ladies room only to realize I was wearing "crotchless" pants. My dear puppy had gone on a chewing frenzy and apparently eaten them :rolleyes: ....they had been through the laundry, hung, ironed and worn without even noticing. :rolleyes:

Truly I am clueless.

[Tink]

:eek: OH MY GOSH!!!! I'm sorry but that is WICKED funny! :laugh:

[Beccaberry]

Oh yes...it's funny.....


NOW.


Not so much on *that* day :D

My pup and I had a very stern conversation that afternoon....and then I went through my closet to make sure everything was in one piece. I learned very quickly not to leave laundry on the floor. :D

[Dawn]

I wore Adrian's jeans to work one day and couldn't figure out why they kept falling down. :unsure:

[Tink]

:laugh: Priceless!!!

I once wore my pink monkey slippers to the grocery store. Man, was I embarrassed when I saw people looking at my feet. :spring:

[Britchick]

when we flew back from Orlando on our first trip my feet swelled so much i couldn't get my shoes back on when we came to land so i had to walk through the airport in october with no shoes on :thumbsdown: everyone was looking at me!

[Ursula]

Lol... loving these.....

[Dawn]

Oooh a few years back I had a phone call from Adrian at work. Steven was about 18 months at the time and into everything. Well Adrian had got to work that morning, opened his executive briefcase full of executive stuff, and sitting on top was one of Steven's baby picture books. :laugh:

[Watchinherskip]

Brats! :(

ME TOO...(I'll bet she has a another pair just like em at home:wink:)
Two different boat shoes, man must have been a really bad night!

[Handbagqueen]

I came out after showing at the gym and walked through the foyer with my thong sticking out of the leg of my trousers !

Once I came home from a night out with a new dressing gown , strange but true ! hee hee hee

[Johnie]

I have managed to come to work THREE times this year with my shirt on inside out.

The first time I did it, I had gotten the shirt out of the dryer and noticed that the buttons were burning my tummy when I put it on. Didn't dawn on me that there might be a problem. I saw 2 clients before I realized my shirt was inside out. I've done it twice more.

I was driving to work one morning when I realized I still had my slippers on, not my regular shoes. Had to turn all the way around and go back home.

I am pitiful in the morning. I can barely get out of the house dressed appropriately.

[Isafari]

I don't ever, never do silly things :unsure: :lol:

I HAVE DONE THIS!!! (of course I have :wink: )

[foreverducky]

Oh goodness, I hope these stories are not contagious. :lol:

[Tink]

When traveling in FL (for work) I thought it would be a good idea to have my work clothes on hangers to put on the hook in the car, instead of folding them in my suitcase.

Nope. NOT a good idea. I got to the southwest coast (way to far to come back for them) only to realize I'd left my work clothes on their hangers at home. :sigh: I looked pretty funny working in my casual clothes, let me tell you. (At least I had something! Can you imagine having to wear the same clothes three days in a row)!? :eek:

[Ursula]

I don't ever, never do silly things :unsure: :lol:

What you do?...... C'mon fess up.....

[Ursula]

When DH lived in America and we were courting he used to phone me dead on 11am British time cos of the time difference to chat... He always said he loved me as I answered the phone... so this time when he rang I yelled "I LOVE YOU" down the phone.... there was a manly giggle and then someone said... er thank you I think! It was someone from the bank phoning me..... lol....

[Handbagqueen]

lolololololololol did you get an overdraft ? lol

[Ursula]

I once went to work with blue eyebrows :( I used to have to get up early for work and it was still dark outside but I could see ok with the curtains open because of the street lamp coming into the bedroom... Didn't put the light on because didn't want to wake my ex husband.... Soooooo I sat at the mirror and did me eyebrows like you do and other makeup... got the bus to work.... worked right up until lunch and went to the toilet and then brushed my hair and *Shriek* No one had told me and no one had said a word! lol! Bright blue eyebrows instead of brown... I'd used the wrong eye pencils :(

[Ursula]

I not fessing up to anymore....

[Shellyamc]

Once when I was younger I got up for school in the morning and tossed a dress on and went on my way. I felt a bit lumpy when I got there and when I went into the bathroom I realized that I had left my pjs underneath :unsure:

[Tink]

:laugh: To blue eyebrows and lumpy dresses! :lol:

I once tried to color my own hair. Let me say that better. One time when I tried to color my own hair, it ended up being PATENT LEATHER SHINY BLACK! :eek: What a mess.

Then one time I thought I'd be smart and have my sister help me. I ended up with red hair and blond roots. No, I'm not blonde. :sigh: My sister had used bleach and vlipped the ends of my (then) long hair up on my head and left them there. That caused the bleach to work more strongly on the roots. :sigh: The red was that stupid fake doll red, too. :eek:

I've had loads of hair troubles. :sigh: When I was about six, I wanted to get rid of my bangs and when I Mama she said that you can't just get rid of bangs you had to let them grow out. So. I cut them off. :yes: Laid those scissors right against my scalp and cut those bangs right off. :yes: Yep. Cute, huh? :rolleyes:

So you see Helly? You aren't the only one with good stories. :D

Now. Where's our Issy? :D :D :yes:

[Johnie]

My mom used to work at the bank doing keypunch at night. So, I stayed home with my dad. I used to have Shirley Temple curls except I was redheaded. My dad was "watching" me except he was really fixing the hot water heater.

I decided that my bangs were too long. I found the scissors and gave myself the most horrendous shag haircut of all time. I also didn't have even half an inch of bang left. I knew I did something wrong so I hid my hair everywhere!. It was underneath trash, inside cookbooks, etc.

My mom cried and my daddy spanked me.

[Tink]

Ouch. :( :hug2:

My Mom made me wear a sailor hat until my bangs grew out. :sigh:

[Johnie]

Well my dad is huge on telling me to keep an eye on Alysia at all times. Mmmhmmm like he did. I cut all my hair off, I went to the bathroom in a public display at a home improvement store and goodness knows what else I did under his watchful eye :nono: :tongue:

[Beccaberry]

I never cut my hair....but I did decide to shave my legs at the age of about six....

Good heavens that was a lot of bandaids. :D

[Tink]

:eek:

[Johnie]

That reminds me......

I decided when I was about 7 that my arms were too hairy. So, I took my papaw's bright, shiny, incredibly sharp razor and started shaving my arm. It didn't hurt till I saw the blood. I lied and told them I was trying to shave my legs too. I still have a scar down the side of my arm...its probably 6 inches long.

[Tink]

:eek: :eek:

Why the fib? :unsure:

[Johnie]

I was embarrassed........I fessed up a few years ago.

[Beccaberry]

Then there was the time I found a rusty curtain rod in my grandparents backyard...I thought it would make a great "shover" so I could swing higher (picture in your mind, if you will, the poles used by the gondoliers to push themselves along...) I jumped into my swing....pushed off with my "shover" which immediately became mired in the mud and down I came on it...in a very, very sensitive spot on my...chest....

OOOOOOOOOOOOUCH!

[Beccaberry]

OMG!!!!!

[Tink]

I'm still not following the train of thought? Not that it matters, it's just that I'd like to follow the child Johnie's thinking...

[Johnie]

Apparently I was embarassed about my hairy monkey arms so I attempted to shave one, lucky I didn't kill myself, and told my grandparents I was trying to shave my legs because I felt stupid for not shaving my arms correctly. How I figured no one was going to notice my smooth arms was beyond me.......hey, I was 7.

wow, you were very lucky you weren't impaled!

[Tink]

Ah. Gotcha' Johnie. :yes:

When I was wicked young, I had taken the end off a baton (as in majorette's baton) and had the pipe end in my mouth. I fell down the stairs with it in my mouth. Tore my palate down, and knocked out all my front teeth. And so started the little kid who refuse to smile for photos and that led to hating to have a photo taken...you see? It all makes sense now, doesn't it?

[Johnie]

OW :hug2:

[Johnie]

I almost died once. My dad tried to kill me....not on purpose I don't think :unsure:

We had stopped at a roadside picnic area. They had a see saw. My dad and I got on it. I was about 12 and much smaller than I am now. My dad was still a large man. I'm WAY up in the air and decide that is enough. I tell my dad I want to get off. He gets up while I am still up in the air. I went flying off that thing and almost knocked my head open on this metal thing in the ground.

Thus started my life long fear of see saws.

[Tink]

YIKES!!!! That would do it!!! :eek:

[Beccaberry]

O. M. G. You're dad should just NEVER be left alone with children!!!

[Johnie]

:tongue: it sounds like it, doesn't it? He was a good dad and was always adventurous and active. He was way more fun to go trick or treating with than my mom.

[Shellyamc]

Well now these stories are getting more along my track :yes:

It was the middle of winter and the little sidewalk plow was coming down the street. For some reason I wanted to see it, so I threw open the window which came off the track and fell on my hand. It was the dizzy kind of hurt, so I just put a towel over my hand and layed down and waited. My Dad was the only one home and I didn't want to tell him I hurt myself. When I knew I couldn't stand it anymore I went downstairs to tell him and when I turned around there was a trail of blood behind me. I had cut myself badly and the tip of my index finger was just kinda hanging.

I still got yelled at :sorry:

[Disneybumble]

Picture it a very tired new Mummy. I was feeding Liam and had just winded him and got him down to sleep. Doorbell goes and open the door. . Postman there witha package and bulging eyes. As i hadn't put my feeding funbags away. He left parcels on the door after that.

[Dawn]

OMG I just spat coffee... :bugeye:

[Disneybumble]

OMG I just spat coffee... :bugeye:

I have another story that involves a midwife and me .

[Dawn]

Please don't...

I have a story about 2 midwifes and a gynaecologist. :eek:

[Disneybumble]

No don't worry it's not going to be aired.

[Tink]

:laugh: :laugh: OH!!! Siobhan!!! THAT'S hysterical. I'm laughing to tears!!!! :laugh:

[Ursula]

OMG! How hideously embarrassing.... give me blue eyebrows anyday!

[Beccaberry]
