How many times...

[Deleted member 1258]

When riding on a hot day don't forget to top the water bottle up at the Cafe stop, the number of times I've fallen over that one over the years.

This thread is for things you keep on doing, please tell me you have only done that once.

Fair point but my bumbling DIY efforts are ongoing. I think mine should be that I don't read thread titles properly?

As mentioned recently in the cafe.

When doing any plumbing work involving removing the waste trap from under the sink never dispose of any waste water by pouring........it....... down....... the.......... sink.........DOH!

Yep did that twice (in one week)

Chopping onions/chilies or spilling mouthwash on your hands...... then taking contact lenses out.....

Yep your eyes go red, sting, puff up so much that you cant get the lens in............. Its the mouthwash that is the most common occurrence

When weeding the garden make sure the plants you are pulling up are weeds, the number of times I've had to replant and hope the plant survives.

the definition of a weed is any plant growing where it is not wanted. Just claim you were rehoming it!

I thought the definition of weed is 'any green thing I have already put in the green waste bin' because next week when the other half says 'Where is that ...... I planted over there?' you just say 'I think it must have died back or something..'

A household of two people can quite happily survive on the output of two courgette plants over the growing season. When you plant eight, for safety, you do not need to 'keep the other six plants because it seems a shame to waste them' because you WILL be looking up as many recipes for courgette chutney as you can find,making cakes, soups, even brownies, giving away courgettes to neighbours, replacing aubergines in recipes with courgettes, thinking of letting some of them grow into marrows, looking up marrow chutney recipes, trekking down to the village shop with four carrier bags of courgettes just to get rid of them, looking for tips on how to freeze them in as small a space as possible etc, for about three to four weeks. This does not have to be an annual event.
