It started when I woke up around 3.30 in the morning. I had been woken up by Mr V's snorting, sorry snoring. I realised I had 12 people for dinner that evening and I had forgotten to make the soup, I was due to make the night before. How can I forget to make the soup! I was watching Corrie, Eastends and who knows what and I forgot to make the soup. So I got up and made the soup, tidied up and tried to go back to sleep. Then the alarm woke me for work!
When I arrived home from work, I thought I would relax before my guests came, by taking the dog for a walk. Got the lead, got my phone, shut the door. Ooooops. Forgot the door key. I can just about see the back garden patio doors from my letter box, and they certainly looked locked to me. What to do. A couple of options came to mind, phone Mr V and ask him to come back but he was on the other side of London or phone my daughter and get a cab to her. Looking around I saw my kitchen window was open - which was really unusual but open it was. I knocked next door to my neighbour and asked if I could borrow a ladder. So he and his wife and my dog watched me climb head first through my kitchen window which was 12 inches wide. Thank goodness I had trousers on. I landed in the sink but that was okay as thank goodness there was no water in it. As I walked round to collect the dog, the patio doors were unlocked, it was just the latch was down but that can be opened both sides! I am sure my neighbours rue the day we moved in. Often knocking on their door for something, the alarm has gone off and I can shut it down, the electricity has gone out, where has the water gone!!!!!
I also once reversed into his car and didn't even know it. I was driving a huge 4 x 4 (well it was huge to me) and I reversed into the neighbours car. I was so embarrased when he knocked on the door to tell me. He realised it as I had white paint on my car and he had green paint on his. Even I could do the maths.
Oh hum, just another day
