"Dead in a ditch!"
Mum's always convinced that I'm dead/horribly injured somewhere if I'm so much as 10 minutes late. Hence many evenings of missing the train or going to the library after school and coming home to find she's out in the car looking for me.
She still does this when I'm at home now, even though I'm 26, don't live there anymore and I can quite happily tell her stories about about being stuck in Trafalgar Square at 2am, as long as it's *already happened*.
Unfortunately all this fretting has given her pretty serious sleep issues, and she's always wide awake before dawn now. So when she realised her car was blocking the drive at 4.15am she thought nothing about slipping out in her dressing gown to move it.
Sadly the week beforehand I'd made a slightly-too-subtle joke to our neighbour that she might be 'losing it a bit'. Cue her neighbour putting his arm round her and saying 'let's get you back home dear'. She nearly killed me for that!
On the bright side, they're always bringing her food...

Tall buildings? Nope, just the one!
For some reason I'm absolutely petrified of falling off the HSBC Tower in Canary Wharf.
Trouble is I once saw a picture of the roof of the tower-it's got a garden and absolutely no safety rail, resulting in a very vivid nightmare. And even though that was years ago, I can't even look at pictures of the thing!
I actually wanted to find a picture of the roof garden- but just looking it up on google images makes me want to cry.
