... for the Dumb Blonde Award. It seems that the terrible twins in the eastern counties of England aren't the only ones who can have silly mishaps. Mind you, mine wasn't "dangerous", but frustrating, to say the least!!!
In explanation, I take a diet supplement juice, which comes in powder form and has to be mixed with water. Well, I've been taking it for some time now as it really seems to be doing me good in more ways than one. So... when I first started taking it, I tried putting it in the blender... hmmmmmm, a little bit lumpy, so I was standing in the kitchen pondering the best way to mix it well and I spied an old Positrim beaker. This has a lid, and a click down arm, to cover the hole for the straw. Ideal, I thought, and have been using it ever since.
Wellllllll... I put the water in the beaker, then the juice powder, screwed on the cap of the mug and commenced shaking it, which I do for one minute in order to mix it well. Normally, I would put my finger on the arm to make sure it holds down but for some stupid reason, I didn't do that today, and what do you think happened?**whistles, nonchalantly**:-)
I shook the beaker a few times, the arm shot up and this beautiful, thick, deep red juice shot straight up in my face and hair! I looked like a punk rocker who had been in a fight... it was pretty thick and sticky too, which didn't help matters.
Soooooo, eat your heart out you two... two blondes together is enough, but let three of us loose and anything can happen! lol.
Hey, but Gabs... it wasn't my fault. It was the beaker's!!! ha ha ha

LOL I am so glad I'm not the only one who does things like this. Mine was a bottle of tomato ketchup a couple of years ago, and I swear the lid was definitely on the bottle when I shook it up, honestly, it was definitely properly done up, but the lid flew into the air followed by half the bottle of ketchup, which landed all over me and my partner too. :-)

Ha ha ha... is there something about the colour red, that it wants to get out of the container and onto the ceiling, because (I was trying to keep this one quiet), around Christmas time, I took out a jar of Cranberry Jelly. It was quite tough to undo because it was a new jar, then suddenly, the lid came loose, unscrewed and I lost grip of the jar. Miraculously, the jar didn't break because it must have landed straigh, but........ half the cranberry sauce shot out and some of it hit the ceiling. lol.
It's out now! I won't hear the last of that one.
I'll bet you were surprised when your ketchup lid flew off. A classic but sooooo funny afterwards. lol.
Thank you for your response and Brightest Blessings.

Who are you kidding Darkwing lolololol. That is a MARVELLOUS story and you are not going to be helping me out in the kitchen when you visit (or, hmmmmm, is that a very clever reason for this post?)but you are not taking the title on a single mishap. You gotta work at it!
I will tell you how to vastly improve your chances of out blondeing the twins, have gabs visit you for a week. Oh bliss! Don't forget the camcorder lolololol

I scalded my stomach whilst making a cup of tea. Therefore everyone is banned from kitchen while I am in there on grounds of elf and safety!

Oh deary, deary, me, you HAVE to stop making these posts or the elf and safety mob will be forbidding us 3 blondes to get together.
By the way, Gissi says if you are going to do that one again, don't do it in his home lololol. It sounds worse than cherry yoghurt.
hugs

Hahahahahhahaha oh I wish you would have done that here then you would have to call an Ambulance to pick me up and put me on the Oxygen I would have been laughing that much

But do try and keep your Finger on it next time as somehow I don't think red hair suits you hehehe maybe read streaks so you might want to try and get it streaky next time well it safes on colour hahahahaha

It was more blobs than streaks. ha ha ha. It could well have happened at your place too, because as you know, I brought my juice along. I don't think you'd have been laughing so much had it gone up your nice magnolia coloured walls though... so hold that ambulance and oxygen whilst gabs has a little jump up and own. ha ha ha
I somehow knew that would make you laugh. I had to laugh myself, because do you know what it reminded me of? Yup............... flying cake!!! ha ha ha
Thank you for your response and indeed your concern, Gabs.... love and hugs my friend.

You dont have be blond to be dumb. Many years ago sitting at the dinner table I created quite a mess. I am in the habit of picking up the sauce bottle and giving it a good shake as at the start of the bottle it can be quite thick and not come out so well. On this particular day someone had already done it and left the top loose. Well! you should have seen the mess after my energetic shake up, it was EVERYWHERE and nobody was pleased for a long time after that.

No, there's no blonde award as far as I know until now, when I made it up! lol. The only problem is, that pic is supposed to flash with "Ooops I Did It Again!", but it doesn't animate on here. :-(
It wasn't easy to get out, I can tell you and it's a really deep red colour so yes, perhaps I was after a Blonde Goth award... lol.
We do get up to mischief... as they say, blondes have more fun... but, because of the jokes about us, we are able to laugh at ourselves. I think it makes us feel better to see the funny side of things.
Thank you for your response, my dear friend... hmmmm, now what can I get up to next? he he he
Love and Hugs xx
