Okay!..Not the daftest but well the best!

Came home in the early hours from a party and kicked off my shoes!

Went out into the garden and danced in the dew..then noticed a wee fox watching me so I sat down and pretended not to be interested and he crept up and sat down beside me...most beautiful!

You cannae buy that and I will remember it all of my life.

Alright then.

If anyone remembers the Ondigital TV set top boxes from about 7 or 8 years ago then you will get this one.

TV aerial was on top of the house (indoor aerial got no signal at all) so I set up all the cable for routing to the set top box and got my mate to plug all the cables to the TV etc in the living room while I would manipulate the aerial on the roof to pick up the signal. As he selected a channel I would point the aerial in the direction of the nearest transmitter and look for a signal. Having no luck on nearly all the channels after about three hours was really starting to annoy me, there was a bit of throwing tools off the roof and a lot of swearing. I decided it was time for a tea break. As I am finishing my tea and kit-kat I looked behind the TV .. and found my idiot mate had forgotten to plug in the cable from the aerial to the TV.

Plugged the cable in and back onto the roof where a perfect picture was obtained after about 5 minutes.

Best bit though is that my mate worked for BT and claimed when we started that it wouldnt take long as he did this sort of thing for a living.

Aaw wellies soooooooooo cute! Haven't done this just one day but quite often. Go onto auto-pilot when in car and drive the wrong way and also park in car parks - come back later and stand there thinking where is the car?

My wifie bought me a tide clock in the May of the year that we moved here. So I set it all up with the tide tables and it worked great.

Come last week in October of that year, as I went around the house putting the clocks back - I also put the tide clock back an hour!!:confused

I never was very bright.:roll:

Maybe so Anne,

I just held my breath and he and I looked at one another and settled down to look at the view, side by side...I think he had got used to me 'pottering' late at night and he was not at all disturbed by my being there.

Amazing and not something I would ever trade

A special moment!

I cut a good sized piece off the tip of my right index finger with a Stanley knife while scoring a piece of drywall. I don't know about daft but I certainly felt foolish showing it to the doctor at the ER, and not a little sick.

I did this not once but twice in one day!

I boiled the carcass from a chicken to make soup, when it was nicely done, I put the colander in the sink and drained the liquid off and nicely kept the boiled bones, letting all the good juices go down the sink. So I boiled them up again, and then did the same thing again... :eek:
I gave up and we had vege soup.

Got lost in Glasgow many years ago, all streets seemed to be one-way in the wrong direction, so I eventually gave in and reversed up a one way street, at least I was facing the right way.

Whenever I comment on my wifes driving she always reminds me.

Three times now I have sat and waited patiently in the doctor's waiting room only to eventually discover that I am either...

A. in the wrong building

or

B. my appointment was yesterday!

Pregnancy has completely mushed my brain!

Yesterday afternoon I was working on my laptop, paying bills [evil], when I needed to write some cheques, so I pushed the laptop to the back of my desk and then when I needed to use it again, started squiggling my finger on the desk, wondering why the curser wasn't moving. When I realised what I was doing I started laughing and kept on giggling throughout the afternoon whenever I thought of it. [lol]

Most of my days seem to end up pretty daft...:(

Yesterday I failed to manage 3 very simple, basic tasks -

1) get fishcake from grill to plate -splatted it on the kitchen floor!

2) get pancake topped with blackcurrant jam from plate to mouth - managed to somehow throw it in the air so it landed jam side down (of course) on the carpet.

3) get jar of honey from kitchen cupboard onto kitchen worktop - managed to throw it into the sink.

That's not including all the usual things - looking for my glasses when they're on my nose and leaving things in all the wrong places.... even "posting" a letter into the communal bin outside! :roll:

Whitewater, been there, done that, but I did it in Liverpool in a car and Preston with an eight-wheeler lorry! Cops couldn`t speak for laughing.

Most recent silly thing I did was take off to the other side of town to catch up with hubby as I thought I was locked out of our house. Almost at my destination the bunch of keys in the car ignition bumped my knee.......panic over, the keys to everything is on the same ring! It is at least eight years since I kept separate keys in different places. I got fed up looking for them and put them all together.

I don't know if this counts but I once carried a new umbrella home in a plastic bag, in the pouring rain. Yes, I did get drenched but it never crossed my mind to use the brolly!

Once had the thought that if I got dressed before my shower it would save time after.

Managed to run the sewing machine needle through my finger. When I yanked my hand back (as you do!) the needle broke off the machine and stuck in my finger, sticking out of both sides. For the life of me, I couldn't bring myself to pull the needle out and had to go to A&E and get them to remove it. When I got to the front of the queue, the look on the face of the nurse that assessed me was priceless as she tried hard not to laugh!

I was driving to Inverness with my 16yr old son one day and a grouse was at the side of the road,he asked me(in a moment of madness I think as he is usually very clever)if grouse flew?I was preoccupied with driving and said I don't know, then i realised what he had asked so I said to him"how do you think they shoot them out of the sky then?They get the grousebeaters to fling them up in the air and then they shoot them" at which point we both started laughing so much that I nearly crashed the car :eek: Still wind him up about that clanger at least once a week ;) x

Sad to say I've done the same thing myself and I don't even have old age to blame it on - I'm in my 20's!!:lol:
I think early madness runs in the family - I'm turning into my MOTHER - AARRGGHH!:eek:
