I was making tea for a colleague. Carefully washed the mug she had been using. Washed it, dried it, threw it in the bin.

– I have got my tongue stuck to a frozen spoon, smeared toothpaste all over my face as I mistook the tube for E45, mown over the lawnmower power cable, cut my finger to the bone by cutting a bread roll in my hand— Vicca TJ (@DrVicca) July 13, 2020

At a friend’s posh wedding meal I went to the toilet and returned during the speeches, skirting round every table to get to ours at the far end of the room, with the hem of my floaty skirt tucked into the top of my pants/tights waistband. My whole arse was on show to the room.

This was in Budapest in the 90s. I stayed in a friend’s flat 150 miles from home. He told me to lock the door when I leave to catch my train home & throw the key through the letterbox. I packed up, locked up & I threw in the key. Except I forgot all my bags inside the flat.

Note on ski goggles, it was a ski resort shop assistant who pointed it out to me, when I was looking to purchase a new pair, and commented that I was finding my vision not great in my current ones.
