    Resurrecting again for any newcomers. 

  • Hubby was sawing off numerous low hanging branches of fir Tree.  The kids disposed of the branches at the end of our garden which slopes downwards(steeply).  I in my great wisdom decided to push them further down the slope and out of sight.  I ended up head downwards in the middle of the branches.  I couldn't get myself out and ended up shouting for someone to come with a long pole to help me out.  The kids stood there laughing for quite a while before they decided to help me.  They still bring it up and laugh.

    Sounds about normal Shahnaz. image Aren't we Mum's always the butt of the jokes.  Bet it was getting near to meal time!!

  • @Tina - ooohh now I understand why they rescued me!.  image It was near to meal time.  LOL

  • I have learnt a few things about gradening over the years.  One of them being to lock the cat up before planting..... thats if you don't want the cat leaving pressies in the newly dug holes!!!!

  • It's a pity cat manure's not as good as horse manureimage 

    Mine decided tonight that my onions could do with their tops bending over. Well that's what I told myself when I saw her sunbathing on them

    More disgusting this one, I hope there's no one eating.

    Digging up some dandilions in our new house a few years ago, went quite deep and saw a bin bag.

    Pulled it up, but pulled so hard, and it was heavier than I thought.  I over balanced and fell into the flower bed (I'm very tall!) which was pretty low down, banged my head on the concrete bit of a fence panel and was out of it for a few mins.

    Woke up with a terrible smell in my nostrils, turned to the side and I could see a decomposing and very sweaty cats paw protruding out, and my nose was actually touching it.

    I obviously forgot all the advice on head injuries and got up pretty quickly

    Next door told me that 2 years before the previous people had buried their old cat, and they saw them putting it in the ground in a bin bag, which had presevered everythign!  urgh.

    I was fine after, but had to sort the cat out and bury it properly, which was awful.

    My grandma, who's Kenyan, kept going on abotu cat spirits!  Argh!

     

  • Oh Mozza how awful image. Why an earth bury something in a binbag which would not decompose? Poor you

    That's sick Mozza. image  How awful for you to discover that.  Just shows that some people shouldn't have pets.
