Top 5 mortifying moments:

1. The boy's mum walking into room whilst boy and I were shagging (me on top).
2. The boy's sister being on the phone in boy's mum's hand when she walked in on the boy and I shagging.
3. The window-cleaner seeing me naked (being so embarrassed at the time that instead of hiding under the duvet I covered myself with a fucking cushion).
4. Replying indignantly to my pompous schoolteacher that I was illiterate too, when I thought he was referring to somebody as illegitimate.
