My most embarassing moment was caused by my 3yr old daughter 25yrs ago. A friend and I took our kids to Westgate gardens in Canterbury for a picnic. Lovely hot sunny day, plenty of people, tourists, people on lunch breaks, it was packed. Daughter wants the loo so take her to the public ones. She refused to use them because they smelt. We'resitting on the bench, children running around. Daughter stops suddenly, deposits a large poo on the grass and bends over to have her bot wiped! Friend deserts me and I then have to grab the poo in tissues and deposit it in the bin. I felt so sorry for the people sitting on the grass behind us. I don't think they finished their sandwiches. It was a long time before we had a picnic there again.

I was lying in bed in hospital after having twins, when another new mum came in asking if there was anyone in our room with the surname Harrison. 'Yes, me.' I replied. 'Is your husband dark haired with a beard?' she asked. 'Why, yes, do you know him?' I asked inocently. Turns out, that when I went into labour, they had problems getting hold of him, and he was some distance away, so they told him to get there quick. The other lady was going it alone without her ex man, but with her mother. The father had been informed but was not expected to attend..... My husband rushed into maternity, 'Mr Harrison, has my wife given birth yet?' The other Lady was very much more advanced in labour than I. The midwife grabbed him, and thrust him through a door. The other Mrs Harrison said 'That isn't my husband!' Just as baby was being born. Husband was quickly bundled out, rather flustered. Funnily enough, he forgot to mention it to me for some reason.

This happened my best friend. In labour for long time, husband home for an hour, arrives back, ushered into scrubs by nurse and rushed into delivery room.Mother to be screaming her head off, and he is shoved over to her side to hold her hand.Babys' head is out and he trying to tell them this isn't his wife, poor woman is screaming it isn't her husband! This bloke is sooo quiet and unassuming he is mortified, and the girl had been adamant she didn't want her husband at the birth! Worse still he sees her regularly as they live in the same area. Anne

A couple of my friends had been together for near on 12 years, living blissfully happy in a country cottage. HE, proposed to her on the eve of Valentine's day ... and she readily agreed. To celebrate, he said they would go out for a celebration meal in a hotel the next day .... and she was over the moon. She spent the rest of the evening sorting through her clothes for the 'special' day ! Next day arrives, and he nips out to get some booze from the 'shop' whilst she gets ready. Then he phones her ...... he'd broken down and she would need to go down and collect him ..... he was outside the local chapel. She rushes around and quickly makes a mad dash for the car .... only to slip on the driveway ... splitting her beautiful skirt. Knowing he was waiting and that she could get changed again later, she sets off, split skirt and slightly dirty ! She arrives at the chapel and gets out to speak to him, at which point WE all appear inside the Chapel gate ...... She looks as us, looked at him .. back at us and then back at him, who by now is on bended knee, 'Will you marry me' he asks again ... 'Yes' she says quizzically 'The chapel is booked in 5 minutes time ' . he announces ... You can imagine her face !!! she didn't know whether to laugh or cry ....... she had taken a tumble less than 5 minutes earlier and her skirt was split ........... but that didn't stop them............. They followed us into the Chapel, and when we were all 'placed' she casually put her right hand on her bum to try and minimise the split !! We still joke about it now .... and tell they they aren't allowed to 'split' up ... as they have already been there and done that one big style !! Elaine ;-)

Nice one, and quick thinking SW. LOL I've had many embarrassing moments. But one was when I hooked arms with a man outside a shop, and said 'come on then'.... and it was NOT my husband. Luckily for me the man had a sense of humour. Deanna X

Aileen, laughing so hard I can't stopppppp. With me so many don't know where to begin but I think the worst was when I fell down a flight of stairs in church. Was trying to be prim an proper like and tripped ending up at the bottom with my skirt over my head. Was so embarrassed I grabbed my skirt held it over my head and went to the loo. Hoped no one knew who I was as I kept my face covered. Meanwhile everything else was showing. Thanks bee that thongs weren't in then. Deb

A lady I knew slightly always wore a long-sleeved blouse, then one particular day she appeared in a short sleeved one with what seemed to be a support on her arm. I thought she had had an injury and asked 'What have you done to your arm?' 'Nothing,' came the reply 'It's artificial!' I wanted to creep down a hole and made things worse by saying what a good one it was and ending 'And you're even wearing a watch on it!' I was Soooooo embarrassed that I couldn't shut up
