Taking up the kitchen floor...and finding the horrors underneath......covering it with lino and trying to erase it from memory! Dismantling the banister and falling off when pissed. Taking things apart and forgetting how they go back together! Investigating the woodworm in the loft etc etc........must learn that curiosity is very bad!!!! :eek:

I hope to god you've already removed the stack :eek:
agreed techno!
I remember aged 12 wishing my day would come so I'd be all grown up and like 'a real woman'
aged 16 I was the only one still waiting, and getting more n more concerned that I was maybe really a boy (yeah, no sprouting of boobs or anything :( )
I soon learned of course why they called it 'the curse'
or the cute way my granny says
'have you got your friend yet?'
yep, wish I'd never wished for that
apart from that due to very high amounts of stress I wish we'd never started this bloody [non] extension
not the [non] extension's fault - the b8st8rd rip off fekkin grrrrrrr timber frame supplier bastid nasty horrible gnarrrrr - where's my hammer, I'm gonna get him for this, grunt, growl, gnash, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH HHH
there now -- that's better -- chill :cool:

Leaving the kitchen taps running while I nipped for a pee...
Ooops! Forgot I'd left them running - you can guess the rest! Now have nicely moulded and bubbled kitchen lino...looks like it came out of the Titanic's Ballroom (about 60 years AFTER it sank!).
Bo**ocks!

Teehee!We had no outside tap in our last house so to hose the grass out front you had to attach the hose to the kitchen taps and shove hose out of the window.........yes you guessed it, whilst I was sunning meself out in the back garden the hose had snuck back through the kitchen window and was busily filling the house with water whilst whirling round and round with the pressure.
God alone knows how I held onto my sanity when I saw the mess!!!!:eek:

Ah! so many! Like building a motorbike (and sidecar) in the living room of a rented house, and hearing it crash through the floor in the middle of the night. Put a rug over it when we left and my cousin (who had gone to rent the house after us) fell through it...... :D
Riding to the Salbox MCC clubhouse in Biggin Hill from Brixton, without gloves in freezing fog..... :o
Riding my outfit with my mod mate in it down to the Funfair at Battersea Park and starting a Mods and Rockers riot...... :rolleyes:
Removing my bath last November to install a shower and finding the one you have been given is not suitable (needs a combi boiler) and having no money to replace it. Doh!
Two failed marriages (except for the kids) as I would have been better off on my own.
Trip to Faro on the trike (electrics blew up) and awaiting money to repair and upgrade it......
Loads more but no time to list'em all............. :confused:

Hahahahaha, reminds me of the time I was staying in a horrible rat infested farm in Ireland for a 'holiday' and during the night there was an almighty crash as my bed suddenly fell through the floor (downstairs thank God). I stayed in it until morning - didn't dare get out due to the ominous nibbling and scratching noises under the bed :D :D :D
