Yes and I am so glad that no one saw me, well I do not think they did
As most of you know here in the UK we are having Snow and I mean loads lol, well unfortunately I had to declare my Car of the Road for now as it failed it's MOT and I have to get the Money together to get the Repair done, anyway with it being declared of the Road, I had to ask if I can keep on the Yard for that time, the Landlord had no problem with that
So I had to park it in front of the Shed next to my Flat, well there was a pile of Snow there but hey, the car was not going to move for a while anyway
The Landlords Daughter suggested that I park my Car where hers is normally parked, as she works away a lot and she can park in front of mine. So the Next Day when she went out in her Car to go Shopping, I went out to move my Car in her Space, I stared my Baby, then gently put the Foot on the Accelerator, the car did not move, it just wheel spun and Snow was flying all over, great my Car is stuck in Snow, I try going forward, I try reversing, nope she will not move. Well I was determent to move it, I kept on trying, but no go, after 10 minutes of trying I gave up, I went to put the Handbrake on and Guess What???????
I had not taken the Bl**dy thing of so no wonder the poor Baby would not go, I took the Handbrake of and WOW the Car moved, I felt so stupid and embarrassed, I just could not believe I did that, I was also using not nice words to myself (sigh) I think the Blonde Moments are back

Too funny.
I don't know about the UK's cars but the newer ones here in the States have a feature that when the car is put into drive the emergency brake gets released automatically. I have never had this blonde of a moment. Too funny. I needed a good laff tonight. Thanks.

Awww sweety that's funny but I think we've all done it! I know for sure that I have done it a couple of times. It makes for a good laugh at yourself. Some of my best laughs are at my own expense so have a good chuckle and just hope you don't do it again anytime soon. It's not stupid when you do it once, you only get to feel stupid if you do it again!

LOL!! That was really amusing. I still remember the story where you thought your car was stolen when actually, your son had borrowed it for sometime. LOL!! You sure seem to have plenty of blond moments with that car of yours, Gabs. :)
Cheers and happy Mylotting

Lol well I guess it is quite funny but at the time I did not think so the words where not very good and what I called myself was worse
Then my Neighbor Jo tells me that she saw it and was laughing but did not come out as she could not stop laughing she knew it was that because of all a sudden the car went so she guessed it was that Problem lol
Nope it is pouring here with rain right now

Didn't I just KNOW what you were going to say then, my dear friend? You must have had something else on your mind, I reckon! It might have been a lot easier had the car had ski-runners under the wheels... ha ha ha.
Brightest Blessings, hugs and love. xxx

Yes, I knew because I know you! lol. You'll have to steer clear of the pub when you take Gissi out now, or he'll have a field day telling his little friends over there! ha ha ha. He'll be looking to get his own back for those pics you've been putting around, no doubt!

Of course we all have experienced blond moments such as yours (Blonds though may take offense to us labeling it that.) We would be lying if we didn't. At least for one thing you know that the handbrake works.

well gabs i must be honest, i am such a wimp, i will not drive in the snow at all, even to park, but another confession, i have actually driven away with the handbrake still on( dont tell the husband , he'll go mad) but its only the fact i have a red light on my dashboard that tells me the brake is still on. i have my MOT the end of this month, so i am keeping my fingers crossed , and toes etc., !! to add to the above, i have also driven out a brightly lit supermarket carpark in the evening and forgot to put my headlights on, and then wondered why every one was flashing their lights at me !!

Hahahaha well I won't tell him I promise
And guess what I have a light on mine to but never even noticed it this is what I do not get
But I am pretty upset about it all at the moment, as that is not the only thing that has gone wrong, the Fridge Freezer packed in last Weekend I never noticed till it was to late and the all my Food was rotten, so the car just topped it
The thing is I took it to a different Garage this time and the Guy told me looking at Brakes and Pads the Car has been like that for a long time so I now have to get the money together to get it fixed
But well never mind lol still no excuse
As for the Lights I have done that once to lol I shall keep my Fingers crossed for you to
Hugs

Hi gabs8513,
I really shouldn't worry it sounds a perfectly normal occurrence to me, I'm full of blonde moments, I wouldn't mind but I aren't even blonde..lol..I'm sure it was just a lapse in concentration after all you hadn't drove it for a little while.

I think that everyone of us has its own "blonde" moments...
What about having the soup on the stove and you forgetting about it, totally, and go out with friends for hours? Luckily it was on "very low" and I called a friend who came and took it of the stove.
Or, when one of my guests forgot to flush the toilet? Or, when another was not paying attention that the outside slide door was closed and went through it?
or my friend's dad, had a bad hungover, and instead of going to the washroom, used the cabinet instead?
Or, getting ou the car, lock it and forget the keys inside?
I can just on and on, but the point is...don't be to hard on yourself.Happens to everyone.

Uh - as long as you know that you need to turn the screwdriver clockwise to tighten them, & counter-clockwise to loosen & remove them, I guess we'll be OK.
Uh - with the car not on the road, is it you who's safe from the lamp posts, telephone poles, other cars & people & objects that like to jump out in front while you're cruising? Or is it those people & objects I mentioned that are safe?
Should I remind Mel_87 that she needs to learn how to remove a car engine? See:
http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1038887.aspx
to refresh your memory.
Speaking of Mel_87, I hear that MyLot is disabling accounts of people who have not logged in for three months. Hopefully, if she cannot get on, someone can log in & out for her.

Select on that pull-down menu, "why is my account inactive?"
Read that answer very carefully about the "three months"
