Default oh the embarrasment of it....

I just spent the last 40 minutes locked in my bathroom!

OH and daughter had gone to the doctors as they have come down with this very nasty virus doing the rounds - doctors was crowded and waiting time of around 2 hours.

Me at home decides to have a nice shower - couldn't get back out of the bathroom!!!

After sitting and thinking the best plan I could come up with was.....open the window and shout across to the neighbor.....who bless her had a go at getting me out but the door wouldn't budge.

In the end she got my mobile phone from the table and came to stand in front of the window. As I directed her how to unlock the phone I suddenly realised how embarrassing this was going to be....

'Look up contacts and then press P' (hubby is called Pete)

'erm no Pete here'

' I know - his number is listed under...................pumpkin'

I don't know whether standing talking to my neighbor through a window, wrapped in a small towel was worse than realising that my neighbors now knew the pet name I used for my dearly beloved....or him finding out that she knows

PMSL!

Can empathise completely!

Would die if people found out our pet names for each other!

Having your neighbour knowing your OH's pet name won't be anywhere near as embarrasing as having all of us know it

At least you weren't stuck in the bath . when i was heavily pregnant(with my first) i fancied a soak in the bath, my OH was on duty. I got stuck , i had to shout for help, my neighbour heard me luckily(through the open window) and her and another female friend(thank god) had to help me out of the bath . I was so embarresed. After that i would only have a bath if hubby was home

Next time make sure you take your rabbit with you.
Wouldn't have to shout to the neighbours then.

But if the family is going to be out for 2 hours take some spare batteries too

Nay.
A hamster keeps his nuts in his mouth
A chicken offers a wish bone but often it's a wish that the bone was longer

A rabbit is by far the more reliable jumper. Subject to aformentioned ever ready supplies.
