In very pathetic excited about the new whisk I got today and decided to make some pancakes.

In my enthusiasm I forgot the basic laws of physics and plunged said whisk into a full jug of milk and eggs, plastering myself and the kitchen in mix. Seriously, the place was covered.
Contemplating my choices, I cleared it all up.
This wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the fact that I then immediately did the exact same thing again. I'm now dripping with eggs, milk and shame wondering why people pay me to look after their children when I clearly need full time supervision myself Blush

please tell me your stupidest stories, I suspect I'm the worlds biggest plonker right now

Managed to lock myself in the porch with the keys in the lock on the other side (pulled handle up by mistake and it locked automatically) dd refused point plank to turn the key (5 at the time) so had to stand there screaming for my neighbour whilst screaming at dd to just unlock the bloody door neighbour finally let me out after a good half hour of shouting! Went out and changed the handle so it could never happen again!

I once snagged a hole in a pair of tights, at lunchtime I went to buy some new ones in BHS (a long time ago Grin ). Went into the toilets to change them and took off 3 rings so I didn't snag the new ones, walked out of the toilets leaving the rings behind. I went back within 5 minues when I realised and they were gone, toilet attendant said she knew nothing about them even though she was cleaning the toilets at the time.

Accidentally locked myself in my bathroom and had to yell through my wall until my neighbours heard me. They called the emergency services who sent two fire engines and the police.

Ironed a blouse...whilst wearing it?! I'm actually pretty impressed!

Dropped my hair straighteners & thought it would be a good idea to catch them. Caught the hot plate end of course. OUCH.

Ironed my blouse while I was wearing it. Burnt my boob.

Scrambled egg hair... Nice.

Tbh, I wouldn't have thought it was possible to burn a hole in a mattress!

I heard that washing your hair in egg would make it shiny. So I did and rinsed it in hot water in the shower.

I had a stain on my mattress and I washed it and then as I wanted to dry it quickly I tried to dry with a hairdryer. Put the hairdryer to close and burnt a hole in the mattress.
