whats the strangest thing you have carried home

[shirlthegirl43]

My 'new' car came back from Tesco's on Sunday with a load of timber in it. They are refurbishing the store and when we went in the morning to do our shopping we spotted a skip with a load of wood in it - a quick chat with the gaffer got us permission to skip raid later that day. Must remember to go back for more and to ask about the trolley shelters

My cat and hamster from the vets in my arms - both had to be put to sleep sadly, however the hamster slipped off the cat but i managed to grab him quick before he fell at a passer by's feet

Hmmmm......my friends finger.....when i was about 10 years old a girl I knew called Tracey had a terrible accident in the park's playground, to gory for detail.......anyway part of her finger came off and I found it and carried it home. Luckily she had it sewn back on at the hospital.

I love skips and round here people just dont look at me any more never mind looking strangely! Last year staggered home with 2 dogs (mine!) and a huge double glazed window that was so heavy I had to drag it!!! Then went back for more. As I had already got loads my poor friend has it all residing in her shed waiting for divine insoeration or her brother and his drill to come and help construct cold frames!

My son - yes Mr 6' 8" PhantomVeg, carried a Dalek compost bin through our village by putting it over his head (lid on!) and looking through the ventilation holes. Scary sight!

Years ago I persuaded my kids to help me carry home an old tree trunk that I later got hubby to cement in the ground to grow a clematis up.They've never forgiven me(it was near home and their mates might have seen) and it's often brought up by them-as in 'do you remember when she made us.....',the power of parenthood!

I am really looking forward to embarassing my children - surely one of the perks of parenting?

I once carried my rabbit in an open cardboard box up to the vets and he kept popping his head out and giving passers by a surprise!

And once liberated a conifer that came home with me from uni in wales and my nan still has it in her garden!

A flashing orange street light. One drunken night when I was in Augsburg. Can't remember carrying it home - but I remember waking up next to it.

BTW, Shirlthegirl43 will get me for admitting I was so drunk.

Yesterday I cycled to mum's with 3 large houseplants on the back of my bike, and 2 hanging baskets on the handlebars. I looked like a mobile forest

Carrying ten foot canes on the bike is a laugh ... you have to arrange them lengthways along the bike, bungeed to the frame between your legs, but remember you can't turn corners ...

well today, this happened...........i carried home a water butt, inside was my dog which was knackered, she is pictured left........on my back were veggie plants from a friend, and I managed to swipe some netting from the builders site, not only did i look ridiculous, I felt it too lol......it was very windy so we kept being pushed around and I ended up on my bottom several times............thankfully, noone saw me, well noone has admitted too,.

not for the garden but for the kitchen, which is the second place where I spent the most time... a nice flat piece of marble !! I walk about one mile and to be honest, I don't know how I did it !! guess I was so excited that I used my superpower!
someone did ask me if I wanted some help has I was stopping every 5 min...but I refuse...too proud!
I remember my arms felt like elongated and sore for a week after that!
