I am sure no one else is as stupid as me but………….
If you run out of your usual dishwasher machine tablets / liquid DO NOT use fairy liquid or some other liquid designed for use when hand washing dishes. Otherwise your kitchen is likely to flood and be full of bubbles; still at least the kitchen floor is now cleaner than it has been since it was put down last year.
Sometimes I do wonder if either I am lacking in common sense or perhaps things just happen to me. Like the time my brother was staying and he left the shower head leaning over the edge of the bath and the taps not completely turned off. I returned home in the dark (not late, but it was winter) to find my lights had fused. He was not the most popular person that day, which leads me to an event which happened during the same period involving not dogs but cats.
My brother and sister in law had 3 cats, all sisters. When they asked to stay until their new house was ready, I was only too pleased to help (well I am a nice sister), but on no account did I want the cats. The day before the move he phoned and insisted they had no where to take the cats, so being the nice sister I am (and the mug I also am) I agreed. Within weeks I was regretting this, when not 1 but 2 of the cats went on to go out and get friendly with the locals and were suddenly pregnant.
In hindsight I think I should have taken them to the vet myself on day 1 (they claimed not to be able to afford the surgery for 3 cats, then why have 3 cats you may wonder), because by the time they left for their new home, they had 13 cats!
My son was at a highly impressionable age, and found it highly romantic that 10 kittens had been born in our house so claimed one as his own, which we have to this day. She I am pleased to say has had NO kittens, but then I am not quite as stupid as I look; sometimes!

I have seven cats (as a result of son working at animal shelter and bringing home cats to “foster” - well, once you are in my house apparently I can’t let you go!) and they are ALL neutered.
As for bubbles, one vacation, while at a resort, I put bubblebath in a big tub with water jets. Uh….they kept growing and growing until…well, until I turned off the jets! LOL! Won’t do that again - when I sat down the bubbles were at my chin!
