and finally, if somewhat off topic, Always remember to pull BOTH sleeves of your bee suit down over your gloves BEFORE attempting to remove honey from your beehive AND don't expect your mother to pull it down for you whilst dodging angry dive-bombing bees.
But I'm a nice mum and I did anyway - and then did the 200 metre dash

when using a heat gun to strip paint around 100 year old coloured and textured windows, please remember that you're likely to crack the glass - unless you use the metal shield that you left in the box.

garage & childs foot do not mix Remeber to make sure child is definitely sleeping when shifting a garage by rolling on posts, to avoid the following near heart attack from your sister, when child tugs at her arm to say the garage is on her foot!

It's great isn't it!Done wonders for my self-esteem!I think it's NORMAL to make these mistakes/have these adventures!And it's also taught me things I need to be aware of, and shown me that some jobs really are beyond me and need a professional!Thanks!

truely a great thread agree with you libby51! I guessafter the laughing from this thread, learning some of the answers to 'what could possibly go wrong!' is an education you won't learn in school

Ok, have calmed down enough to tell everyone to NOT try washing your car cover in the washing machine. Unless you want the washing machine to emit some very loud noises, go 'BANG!' and leap a foot forwards in the air to try and attack you when you go to investigate. And don't then rearrange said car cover and try again, unless you really want a nervous breakdown and a washing machine phobia. Especially don't do all of this when the laundry light has blown and it's dark in there.

always check the sump is completely empty of any and all fluids before filling with oil. you end up with emulsified oil if any water leaked in

Don't jump on the wheelibin to push stuff down when there is no one to hold it for you.The nearest near death experience that I've ever had. The worse part is it took me 2 lessons to learn this.

Don't let those boil in the tin chocolate puddings boil dry or they'll explode all over the kitchen.

At your friends party don't change the cat door setting to let the cat in only. Appears that many cats visited later that night and made a lot of mess when they couldn't get back out again.

This happened in the 70's. When building a brand new, flash house, (which is nearly completed), and is before porta-loos were invented, don't let your 3 yr old daughter go the very full, long-drop unattended.Screams of terror from her and her 4 year old sister will alert you to the fact she had reached up to put the toilet seat down and fallen feet first!
One very embarrassed builder, and one very stinky child who has not forgiven you yet. (happened to my sister)

and don't leave your keys in the ignition of your car when you rush into the dairy, leaving your very excitable fox terrier dog in the car.He WILL be estatic to see you after only 2 minutes, and jump up and down on the door lock, locking you completely out of the car.Fox Terriers can't lift up door lock buttons.
