Okay...it's Official....

[gness]

I don't have the sense I was born with. About an hour ago I went into the garage and the door between the utility room and garage slammed behind me...the door which still has no handle.
After much faffing with various tools there was no option but to climb over the car....no room between the front of the car and the walls to squeeze past...carrying the big step ladder and climb the high, locked gate at the side of the house and slide down the gate into my garden. My neighbours now have a note explaining the flip flop which flew off during this ungainly leg swing over the top of the gate and which is now in their garden.
Made a coffee, one post on Carrust's thread and I was calm enough to go back into the garage........where the door with no handle slammed behind me and I once again found myself climbing over the car, over the ladder over the......you've got it.. :-( x

You're the female equivalent of Frank Spencer ;)

[pdust]

[SlackAlice]

What are you going to do next? Just to let us all have a good laugh at your expense ☺

Bet your language was a bit choice.

[ummmm]

Is your leg better now then?

[flump1]

Gness, bless you...you always make me laugh with your antics. I hope your neighbours give back the lost flip or was it the flop ? xx

[gness]

Guilty as charged....what I'll do next? God knows.
My leg....no the guy who looked at it this week says it will take up to a year to recover because I have de-glazed the shin...thought that's what you did to a pan. x

[gness]

The flippin' flop flump.....x

Remind me to double check my life insurance before we have lunch next week.

I presume you were joking when you said you'd bought a crash helmet in the sale at Aldi .... ?

[friedgreentomato]

Do you know if my life had as much excitement and stories as yours - I think I would just stay in, as it seems everytime you go out something happens!

[gness]

Mobile wouldn't help A.......no-one I know would have climbed the gate for me....
And you Sunny-Dave! You have seen that gate...you should have been full of admiration for a Senior Citizen risking life and limb and instead you take the Michael...I am hurt... :-(

The crash helmet is black...to go with the bike of a nice moped boy who may just take me out on it......You brave enough? ;-) x

[moonraker558]

Gness, Would you like me to pop around and insert a handle for you?

[FredPuli43]

Glad I read that,gness. I find that amnesia from increasing age is nature's way of protecting us. I was just about to go out and do some work on the house, which requires a ladder. Went out yesterday to do it and couldn't remember where I'd put the ladder. Having read your warning, I don't think I'll bother ! (How can you lose a ladder? Don't ask !)

[gness]

Well FGT....in this instance I hadn't gone out but hey.....who would want a dull and boring life.....I will skid into my grave at top speed shouting...
Whoa!!! What a ride!!!!!
You?

[gness]

Mooneeee!!! I have heard about your handle......YES please!!! xx

[friedgreentomato]

I would rather grow old gracefully rather than telling such stories thank you.

[gness]

On top of the garage roof Fred?....mine was there for some time... :-) x

[moonraker558]

Cor! That was easy ....I've pulled.

[gness]

Ooooo...FGT....my intention has always been to grow old disgracefully...
Makes for a much more fun person to be with...but each to his own. x

[gness]

I await the Thuuuuuddddd! x
