Disaster with the vinegar!

Tweet

Today I had a disaster with the vinegar! It was after my lunch, about 1:30pm, and I decided to put some more biscuits in the biscuit tin. We have two biscuit tins, a round one which holds the biscuits we are currently eating, and a long thin one that holds the biscuits that are waiting to be opened. My ginger nut biscuits were running out, so I was going to take a packet of ginger nuts out of the long thin biscuit tin and put them into the round biscuit tin. The packets of biscuits won't fit in the round biscuit tin whole, so we have to cut the packet down the middle with a serrated knife, and then separate the two halves with a pair of scissors, and then put the two halves in the round biscuit tin open ends up. The aforementioned vinegar was standing on the work surface in front of where the long thin biscuit tin is kept. So I went into the kitchen to sort out the biscuits, and I lifted up the long thin biscuit tin, and as I was moving the tin it caught the bottle of vinegar and sent it crashing to the floor! Shards of glass and vinegar everywhere! I went and told my mother I'd broken the vinegar, all over the kitchen floor! We went to clear up the mess. We soaked up the spillage using kitchen towels and newspapers. Then I picked up a few shards of glass carefully, and then swept up the rest with the long handled dustpan and brush. We were still finding shards of glass hours afterwards, and we even found some shards on the carpet in the living room. I said to my Mum, How did they get there? They had to have flown round corners for it to have landed there! They do say, don't they, that vinegar can help clean things? Well, it seems to have worked on the kitchen floor! The patches where the vinegar landed seem to be a lot brighter and cleaner! Have you had something exciting or strange happen to you recently? Best wishes to everyone and have a great night.
