I will try.........

Around 8 or so years ago I worked for the council in the housing department and my job was to do the administration part of the application forms for when the families had applied for a home maintenance grant.

I went out to visit a family one day so as to help them fill in the relevant paperwork for their grant application. I walked up through the enclosed garden and got to the house and knocked on the door,as the owner opened the door this lovely dog went past me into the house.

I sat down and filled out the paperwork and all the while the family were playing with the dog and he was jumping all over the furniture and they were having fun. I finished my job and left the house and started off down the path, the next thing I hear the owner shout "excuse me, aren't you going to take your dog with you"?? I said "that's not my dog, I thought it was yours? Lol it turns out it was a dog who lived down the street and reg went into other people's houses for fun and games.

I thought to myself, why would those people think I would take my dog to work with me when working for the council? Each to their own!!

It's not a funny funny story but I hope it makes you smile!?

Think a lot of people can relate to this one,

A couple of years ago, I needed to get something from upstairs so I went up the stairs and in to one of the bedrooms, but totally forgot what I needed to get so went back downstairs and remembered so went back up the stairs again and back in to the room and yep totally forgot again, was half way down the stairs when I remembered so going back up the stairs I kept saying what I needed because I didn't want to forget again, but I sounded like an idiot because I kept telling myself don't forget it's this, it's funny looking back on that,

Another one that has just come to my head I was stood talking to my mum with my left leg in the air just swinging it back and forward, but all of a sudden my foot seemed to stop mid air and I tripped yep I literally tripped over thin air lol,

Not that funny but I'm sure there will be someone who finds these funny,

Take care,

Hi Jue my funny story: Back in 2004 I had a very nasty abcess and was admitted to hospital for them to incise it under a general anaesthetic. Well I came to late on Friday evening and was starving! I hadn't eaten that day and hunger was giving me gripping stomach pains. I asked the nurse for some food and she said she didn't want to give me any if case I threw up but she would check for me. Anyway she came back and said I could have a cup of tea (I only drink coffee) and a few biscuits and she would deal with it when she had time.

So I am lying there with my stomach thinking my throat had been cut and making these wild general anaesthetic plans for ordering a pizza or discharging myself so I could eat! Then I thought 'Silly cow, this is a hospital and patients have food'. So I got out of bed to the woman next to me saying, suitably pathetically, 'Hi I am starving and they won't feed me. Do you have any food please I could borrow'. 'Oh you poor thing' she said 'Take anything you want'. So I grabbed bananas, plums and a packet of biscuits and sat devouring them in bed until I was full up, watching for the nurse coming back. She did, bringing me a cup of tea and 2 biccies. I smiled politely thinking 'I have sorted myself out you b..... and you know where you can shove that'. Well I was full by then so stowed the biccies in my locker for emergencies! :)

I have another good one. Years ago now I was out with a friend near Christmas and I was moaning I didn't have a tree. Well we were both rat a.....d and my friend suddenly and to my horror nicked a little one sitting on someones outdoor window sill It came away with a crunch and we both ran up the road. She then gave it to me. I said I don't want it it's stolen. So when I got home I put it outside the gate of a neighbours house.

A few months later an elderly couple bought a house next to 2 other friends of mine and kept moaning about someone nicking their Christmas tree! Of course my other friends knew the story but couldn't say anything.

A couple of months went by and the original friend and I were in my neightbours house and I asked her if she had found a tree outside her gate. She stared at me and said yes she had. Apparently her brother said to her 'I think I was drunk and nicked a tree!' So she had been blaming her brother all this time. We told her the story and debated whether we should put a picture in the local paper ransoming it or taking pictures of it on holiday etc. (as you do). In the end the neighbour said it was in her spare room and looked lovely there so she wasn't giving it back :) I still feel awful about it even though it wasn't me who nicked it. x
