Her Ladyship's Embarrassing Moment Yesterday

    Yesterday, was, for my youngest son, the day that he re-commenced his fitness training in preparation for the start of the football season. However, his car is laid up, the engine having objected to the extremes that had been demanded of it since Number 3 son took over it's reins.

    So Ben pleaded with HL to be taken to Winscombe, a distance of around 10 miles. On the way there, the cunning little menace mournfully mentioned that he would not be able to get back home, please, Mum, pretty please, will you drive back out and pick me up?

    You've guessed it, she capitulated, and around 8.30 yesterday evening poked her head around the door of the study and bade me farewell. I was engrossed in de-bugging my PC of a recently aquired virus that pretended my hard drives were full, so I wasn't paying much attention to her as she left the house to collect Number 3 son. I promptly finished and went for a long hot pre-pub soak in the bath.

    At 9.30 the phone started ringing. And ringing. Eventually I staggered downstairs in a riot of foam and damp towels and aswered said phone, whereupon I heard an extremely agitated HL demanding what the*******hell was she going to do now? This is how the conversation went:

    Mike! He's not here!

    You've got me out of the bath, I'm all wet and drippy.

    I'm so fed up, I've waited half an hour and he isn't here!

    Where is he then?

    He's in the club house and his mobile is swithched off!

    Er...OK..er.. where are you, then?

    I'm outside the club house sitting in my car.

    OK....um..why not go into the club house and get him?

    Because I can't!

    I see, and why can't you go into the club house and get him, my little honeybun?

    Because I'm wearing my bloody pyjama's!

    Ha Ha Hhhha haha............snort..guffaw, You're WHAT?

    I'm wearing my sodding pyjama's, I thought that I would just slip my fleece on and go and get him, I didn't know that I would be marooned in the car!

    But darling, last time you just "popped out" in the car wearing your pyjama's, the half-shafts jammed and you were sat in the middle of the road in the car, again you were wearing just your pyjama's!

    Trust you to bring that up now!

    Well, eventually Number 3 son realised that his mum was sat outside, and rushed out to join her.

    I however, went down the pub before she returned (discretion being the better part of valour and all that). This morning we both saw the funny side of it, so I have enjoyed relaying this story to you. She will go bananas when I tell her that I've posted this. Heh heh heh.

    Oh she won't go bananas on you for posting that. Now if you had published photos of her in her PJ's then I have a feeling you'd deserve what you get!!

    I think wives are the most understanding people on earth.

    Oh that's good, I'll print that out for my wife.

    I love the way you people talk! In fact I think I need to create a new chat name called "sodding_pajamas"

    LOL! @ E-man and Her Ladyship!

    I must admit I am guilty of the "driving-in-my-jammies" (Actually, I have my robe on) sometimes when I take my kids to school. A few times I still have my hair wrapped in a towel after showering. Just didn't get up early enough that morning to dry my hair first.

    The thought has occurred to me "what if I get a flat tire, or the car breaks down"? Yikes! Now, that would be embarrassing attempting to explain my attire and having the passing cars get a chuckle.

    I'm sure I will have to make more of an effort to be properly dressed in the morning. My daughter is only a couple of years off from being a teenager and I remember how I HATED it when MY MOTHER, at that age, took me to school wearing her robe!

    Like her Ladyship and Beautiful Garbage, I think nothing of driving in my pj's. In fact, when I drive my kids around at night or if they call for a lift, I just grab a trench coat, put it on over my pj's and go. However, I've learned something over the years since my kids were real small. Never buy those flowery pj's. I always buy conservative navy blue or black pj's, because if I get caught in the car with them on, they always give the appearance of a pantsuit. Acually, only the flannel gives them away.

    Hahaha! Great story eman! I drive (ride when I'm with Neil) in my jammies all the time. Haha! I would really be screwed if something happened to my car when I have purple flowered flannel on with monkey shaped house slippers. Haha! Thanks for the chuckle!

    LOL. My dad told me that he went out one night to pick his wife up when she had been for a girls night out and got stopped by the police on the way home. My dad had previously had some run-in's with the local cops (good natured) and of course he radio-ed the station to tell them he had 'Green-ey' in his dressing gown doing a sobriety test. Of course he didn't get any sympathy from Mrs Green or her friends that he was giving a lift to who thought it was all hillarious..

    Well, at least she had PJs on!

    Mrs Ozzie has a habit of wearing them for her early morning gardening and talking to the trees!

    Now I'll get shot!
