    Programmes that remind you of you're lost youth. Been watching Cucumber and Banana on Channel 4 and it reminds me of my wild youth, even though I'm straight:D Makes me feel very middle aged to be a cucumber and not a banana any more.:(

    When you miss the last step when walking down stairs. The momentary panic is heart attack inducing
    Likewise missing the last rung of a ladder. Why does that last piece feel like it's 5ft when you're stretching for the ground?

    Every time I reached into the trolley at the checkout today , the buttons on my jacket clattered off it in such a way that it sounded like I was playing the xylophone:(

    Amazingly, considering my username, I've only ever had to get my stomach pumped once. I was 18 months old and had crawled into the neighbour's garden, when I decided to drink from an unattended open tin of paint. The paint was white.

    When I was two, I was my dads shadow. We were on the farm, the tractor was on, he was putting diesel into it, and I saw a thing spinning around. This thing was a fan belt. And I thought it would be fun to catch it. The top of my ring finger got cut off and I have a disfigured finger now but at least still have my hand. Got caught in a bale escalator but it only tore my tshirt before my dad untangled me from it. Got head butted in the face feeding a calf from a bucket and broke my nose. Fell out of a bucket of a jcb. Got my ankle caught under a bale lifter 2 years ago. You'd wonder how kids on farms aren't killed

    Put hay in digger bucket. Add child to bucket. Raise bucket. Use levers to move bucket to and fro. Child falls asleep.

    This is working better in my head- right?

    haha I find I am learning new things everyday by reading this thread, some of them I keep quiet about and eventually work out what they are, but I had to ask about the farmers cradle.

    I cried yesterday because my husband brought me home a scone, but no cream.
    I had a complete crazy lady meltdown.

    Just had it there with butter and jam and it was really nice, now I have to apologise. Ugh, I wanted it to be horrible but it really wasn't!! :o

    We're getting couches delivered tomorrow, they're going to have to stay I'm the garden for a few hours, then hopefully they fit through the door. :( fml. Being a grown up sucks.

    Puts the scones in perspective though.
