Thread Name: BS: That 'Oh Bugger' Moment
Subject: RE: BS: That 'Oh Bugger' Moment
My late and much missed grandma was full of energy and a "Live for the moment" type of girl. This meant that we always had lots of "adventures" when we were in her care. Her life was filled with "Oh bugger" moments which she quickly saw the funny side of.I could write a book or at least a very long song about her. Here's a few examples:

Rushing to go out one day(we were waiting in the car for her) she saw some aftershave on a bathroom shelf. Rather partial to the smell of my Dad's aftershave, she quickly patted some all over her face.We heard the shrieks and the laughter coming from the bathroom so piled back into the house to see what was going on. We found her crying with laughter although not able to move her facial muscles too well. She had used a bottle of "Gloy" paper glue and her face was setting rapidly.

She enjoyed experimenting with my make up when I was a teenager. She liked the bright colours and was quite daring with them .She disappeared into my room to borrow some for a night out, but within minutes was shouting for help.She had mistaken my light blue nail varnish for liquid eyeshadow.......

Life is nowhere near as funny without her.
