Yesterday i drove my car into our living room.
I'm so mad at myself for the sheer stupidity of what I've done, i was parking the car and pressed gas instead of brake.
Ny DH has been amazing and is rebuilding the outer wall as I type (I'm putting the LO down for a nap).
It took all day yesterday to get the living room back to some kind of normal, plumber fixed the leaking radiator pipes, me and DH put the inner wall back to where it was, still need to finish it though.

I was incredibly lucky though as no one was hurt (LO was inthe car with me, rear facing car seat) and the house being so "soft" meant that the car only got very minor damage (which no doubt will be very expensive to fix), but is ok to drive for now.
And the living room window didn't break!

Please tell me you have done something similarly stupid! Help me stop kicking myself.
Or alternatively tell me how bloody stupid it was... Either way

Fell asleep with a candle lit on top of the TV (old school TV, not a flatscreen). Exploded.

Fell down the stairs on Monday and torn the ligaments in my ankle.

It popped

I screamed

I drove a hire car into a low hanging tree branch, completely denting the roof. I was utterly skint at the time. I could see it was too low but thought it would just about fit. It didn't.

Served my ILs a delicious meal of gammon steaks with cauliflower custard followed by apple crumble and cheese sauce. They were too polite to comment.

Do you remember that game that was everywhere at one point, Draw Something? I don't know why but I once drew a rather graphic penis complete with balls and pubes on there and sent it. I had a thirty second hysterical giggle and before feeling a bit mortified. My opponent was an older gent I think. Very out of character for me, don't know why I did it.

Drove at 135mph for about 30 mins on a public road.

As a Weight Watcher leader, set fire to a Formica table whilst giving the members a cooking demonstration.

Used facial wax strips without reading instructions. Peeled off strips but wax stayed in place, so thought I'd get it off with cotton wool. That stuck to the wax so used nail varnish remover & ended up with a livid red upper-lip instead of barely visible fluff.

Believed my (then) husband after his affair No. 2 that he was sorry & would never do it again. Watching him trying to bluff his way out of the video footage taken by the PI I hired whilst recovering from caesarean 2 years later was painful at the time but now funny. Not a mistake I'll ever make again.
