I went back to the midlands for Christmas and came back up north on December 29th.
I'd been worrying that the pipes in my house might have frozen while I was away and sure enough, when I got home and tried to fill the kettle only a trickle of water came from the tap. Evidently the pipes were 99% frozen. There wasn't much I could do because the pipes come straight into the house through the kitchen wall and the pipes are buried under huge stone slabs in my back yard. There's nowt to lag.
Never mind, the cold snap would probably only last a couple more days and then the pipes would thaw out...
So there I was 3 whole weeks later on January 20th thinking how the pipes had been frozen for an awfully long time. I was talking to my ex and told her that I was getting really fed up with the problem with the water supply. She asked me if the stop cock was fully open. I was about to ridicule her for asking such a daft question when I had a sudden awful slow-motion mental replay of crouching down under the kitchen sink on December 22nd to turn the water off. I didn't want to risk burst pipes while I was away did I?
I came home to check and sure enough I'd turned the damn thing 99% off but had left it open just enough to allow a small amount of water to leak through - aaaaaaaaaaaaargh!
I'm never going to live that one down!
So what have you done that's as stupid as that?

A classic Saga moment.
