This evening, my DH stormed into the house covered in rain and complaining that I had failed to buy him new shoes (eh?) and that these ones had holes in them. Rant over, he threw them in the bin and stormed out of the kitchen. I then peeled the vegetables over them.

Five minutes later, feeling better and realising that we have no tonic for the gin, he has removed the vegetable scraps and taken them out of the bin again in order to wear them to the supermarket.

Whilst guffawing at his stupidity and peeling a leek at the same time, he pointed at me and reminded me that whilst buying vegetables in Ethiopia, I would always make the market people remove the useless bit of them before weighing them so that I didn't have to pay an extra quarter of a pence, or whatever it was. Thus, in one of the world's poorest countries, I would barter down poor people over the leaves of a vegetable. I am genuinely ashamed.

Anyone else?

I once ate a boiled sweet I found on the floor of a cave. But I was about 11 so perhaps it didn't count.

I once ate a jam sandwich from my kitchen bin. As an adult I am ashamed to say. I was supposed to be on a diet and my mum caught me eating a sneaky jam sandwich, and coaxed me into throwing it away. Once she'd left the house though...

Last one is possibly the worst. I was inspired by a thread on MN to start washing our sheets more regularly. I realised I hadn't done the children's for ages and ages. I discovered that under the pillow, one fitted sheet had little dots of black mould on it. Blush

I am truly ashamed of that and have changed my ways now.

I once had sex in the back of a transit van - on the bare floor - in a public car park - but the van had no windows so that's all right Grin
I've done it in a horse trailer with the horse standing next to me (us!) too!

I had a very mis-spent youth! Grin

I once came home with a kebab, passed out on my bed, woke up next morning with kebab on pillow next to me, ate it, and went back to sleep
