I'm having a bad .htaccess day!

I want a user to be able to type the URL

mysite.com/about

instead of

mysite.com/about.html

On .htaccess file I have:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ /$1.html [NC,L]

But this simply does not work?

I will add though that if i try this further inside the site e.g.

mysite.com/pages/contact

Works perfectly whether I have the above code in the .htaccess or not

What am I doing wrong?
