Hi Uzzi, Im trying to think,

I was alway too scared of my Mum when younger to do anything wild,
and scared of her when I was older as well!!!

I will have to make a resolution to do something but what I do not know.

Oh yes I remember, I had my ears peirced 3 times in each earlobe when I was at college in the late 1970s, they healed up when I started work when we were only allowed to wear one pair of sleepers on duty.

I am struggling to think here, I was always a mouse when younger and had children to set an example to from the age of 21.

I suppose (and 'wild' it is not, hooligan it might be). when my OH (then fiance) and I and two friends went out for a celebratory drink just before we got married and had a few snowballs (you have to also know my Mother was strictly T total and I was not really allowed in pubs - I was just 20!) When friend and I went to the ladies in the pub the windows were open. Out of the back of the pub and the windows overlooked it there was a conservatory extension used as a restaurant. The glass roof sloped and stretched out quite a long way. I took a new toilet roll and held the end at first to let it unroll as I threw it down the sloping roof. We came out of there laughing like idiots and OH was all for disowning me. (I think he and friends fiance may have been in Naval uniform!) It was very unexpected as I was usually so law abiding. It just appealed to my sense of humour and to this day i wonder what the diners thought as it bounced down overhead.

When i was about 12 yrs old i hitched a lift of my dad
on his lorry , only i wasnt in the cab ..i was hanging on from the tailgate
but lucky enough my dad saw me before we had gone to far down the road, he pulled up, got out of the cab and smacked my bottom so hard .
i wasnt allowed out for weeks after that .I was always getting into trouble for one thing or another lol .

When I was a student nurse I and a friend hitch hiked from east London to Yorkshire, Thinking back we were really silly but we were full of confidence. We arrived in the early hours of the morning and it was pitch black. We found a bench and laid down waiting for the morning when we were seen by a police man. He took us back to the police station and called his wife, after giving us a good telling off. He then sent us to his house where his dear wife gave us something to eat I think it was a bacon sandwich , allowed us to have a wash and gave us a bed for the rest of the night!

We went back to London on the train and we had a police man take us to the station to make sure that we did not hitch!! I know we did not have enough money to pay for the ticket and that policeman paid for us when he learnt that we were nurses..

Skinny dipping in a freezing cold lake above Chatsworth House.

After that I developed a liking for it and swam in all sorts of odd places without any clothes. One being a lake halfway up Snowdon,and another Lake Windermere.

However,nowadays am reluctant to go paddling even in the height of summer!!

In September last year, at the age of 74, I did the Go-Ape treetop assault course in the Cannock Chase Forest. 30 feet in the air and a 300 yard zip slide two thirds of the way round. Two hours of terrifying torture but Yippee!! I loved it.

(Don't tell my family but I ached for a week afterwards).

I think I've just done it.I was on the puter and the ouside light went on. I am upstairs so saw the figure of a man walking through my yard. I ran downstairs and out onto the street and called to a figure in a hoody jacket. "Excuse me why have you been in my yard". He came towards me and said sorry I am looking for my mate Chris' house. Fortunately for me he was ok but I may have been bashed or even worse. 72 nearly and still havn't the sense I was born with. Elaine.

That was silly Elaine - but sometimes we just do things like that without thinking.

Wildest thing? I've never done anything wild. It's not a word in my vocabulary:-)) Boring I know.
