OK first of all can I just say that I am not some mentalist who normally does this kind of thing but both DC's are out for tea tonight so DH on our own.

DH has a habit of running through the house bare chested beating his chest shouting instructions (I know, I know). It's funny. Sometimes. So this evening I thought it would be hilarious if I did the same, so I duly stripped to the waist and ran downstairs into the living room waving my arms in the air shouting ....... to find DH sitting talking to the plumber who had kindly popped round to discuss the new central heating we are having installed.

I don't know which part of this whole debacle is the worst. The fact that DH just sat there with his gob wide open, the fact that I just kept running through to the kitchen then hid in the utility room until he was gone, the fact that this man is going to spend almost a week in my house shortly, or the fact that he lives directly across the road from me and his wife cuts my hair.

DH cannot look at me without pissing himself laughing and if he keeps this up I'm he's going to rupture something vital. Does anyone think there's the slightest chance that perhaps the plumber did not notice? Please?

Nobody else's story is going to compare to yours megatron; it's just Fucking Brilliant and we are all grateful to you for your madness.

And, to be fair to you, before The Event you thought it would be hilarious. Not only has it been hilarious for you and your DH, but also to thousands and thousands (believe me, we MNers will pass this story on and on and on... Wink)

Now I'm sure that makes you feel better :o :o :o

Look, if you actually get free biscuits out of it, it will totally be worth it.

But what exactly where the hobnob-related instructions? Please tell

I'm saving both my embarrassing naked stories for if I ever write a novel about embarrassing nakedness.

If it's any consolation, I had the plumber out when I'd just met DH. He left and we were upstairs shagging, and he turned up because he'd left his screwdriver in my kitchen.

I answered the door wearing DH's jumper and gave plumber the screwdriver. His comment? 'I'll let you get back to it.' Blush

You realise that when the plumber is working in your house you have to serve him tea and hobnobs!

I have been on mumsnet for 4 years. This is the first thing that has ever made me laugh out loud at the screen.

Poor, poor you! But hugely funny for the rest of us.
