Ever felt like hanging your head in shame or wishing the ground would swallow you up?

I felt like that this week - we have a lot of foxes in our town, they seem to outnumber the cats. On binday, many people put their rubbish out the night before and the foxes take great delight in ripping the bags to shreds and leaving a nice trail of decomposing food. I only put out the non-perishables and nappies, leaving the food rubbish for the morning.

I went out early to put out the food rubbish and found to my horror a whole weeks worth of smelly nappies and nappybags strewn up the road! I got dh out of bed and he managed to pick up a lot of them, but most had been mashed by passing cars leaving all that horrible gel stuff everywhere. I could feel the curtains twitching and later in the day people pointing at the mashed nappies! Trust the dustmen not to come until the afternoon which made it worse!

Ok I'm going to admit it - and I think my most enbarrassing moment outdoes 'em all!

It was when we had just moved in to our new house and we had various tradespeople etc coming around. We still had no curtains so I had a mobile curtain salesman come round with all his samples etc. We had done all the living areas and had moved into the main bedroom. We were absorbed in samples/colours/matching the carpet etc, and i didn't take much notice of what dd (then only 2 and a half) was doing when she wandered in. I should have of course!

Next thing I knew, she ran up to us, waved a certain sex toy in the poor man's face, giggled and ran out the room!!! She had been going thru the bedside drawers! I was mortifed and had no idea how to react - ran after her and snatched it away and hurriedly hid it (which I guess we should have done better in the first place!) I had no choice but to return to the bedroom but I couldn't look him in the eye - and I think he was more embarrassed than I was if that's possible! I just muttered something like sorry about that! Needless to say he finished up pretty quickly - he even left a sample book behind! I was tempted to keep it as I couldn't bear to go to his shop to take it back (I did of course - luckily he wasn't there!) And no we didn't end up getting our curtains done thru him!

um, Mopsy - exactly where was the phone when your DH accidentally rang his colleague, and which button did he press, and what with....my mind is boggling!
