Do not pull a large box of washing powder off a high shelf with one hand and then lose your hold on it because it's heavier than expected so that a corner of it lands on your cheekbone. #tryingtodotwothingsatonce

Ouch! Hope you're ok?

Bless you, Bags #timeforchoc

Bags Thu 21-Mar-13 15:36:59

I'm OK, thanks. Hurt like hell for a few minutes, and I expect there will be a bruise. Sigh. #whatadope!

Bags, do be careful! They say these things come in threes.....

Ella46 Thu 21-Mar-13 15:49:00

Oh Bags that's nasty....do your hands hurt you? I drop things quite often with the pain from OA in my thumb, it makes you nervous as well!

Good advice flowers Time for a nice brew?

Bags Thu 21-Mar-13 15:54:52

Yes, I suppose my hands do ache most of the time. I've sort of got used to living with that so it only really bothers me when I can't get to sleep. My hand was cold as well when I reached for the powder. That didn't help. And I had a crock in my other hand. #daftbat wink

Ohhh , that sounds not nice . Take care . smile

Bags, you'll have a 'keeker' tomorrow! My hands seem to ache a lot of the time, too. It's like toothache sometimes. You'll know the next time - BOTH hands! xx

Ouch bags flowers

I can add to that advice - do not try to lift a very hot bowl of porridge out of a microwave oven and then drop it on your chest! The scars are just a few white patches now!

Do not attempt to open a wall mounted kitchen cupboard when for reasons known only to himself, your husband has put a very large and heavy paint roller on top of it.

Similarly do not attempt to hang a jacket on the hook in a friends garage where they have placed a lawn rake directly above it.

I would go further and suggest that you do not do both of these things on the same day. confused

Yours,

Cut, bruised and lumpy bonce of Devon.

Both of you are daft old bats! Need a minder!

Greatnan Thu 21-Mar-13 21:24:22

Galen - just what my bossy daughter says!

Galen Thu 21-Mar-13 21:25:22

I thought ordering me to live in New Zealand was taking it a bit far though! smile

Galen Thu 21-Mar-13 21:29:59

Lucky you!

Do not keep leaving the door of the dishwasher open because sooner or later you will walk into it, removing the skin from shin despite 2 layers of trousers. Scabby lasts so long at 61.

Galen Thu 21-Mar-13 22:09:13

Ouch!

Orca Thu 21-Mar-13 22:30:51

I've cracked the screen of my iPad. It still works, for the moment. Has anyone else done this and if so can it be fixed?
Do not put a mug of coffee down on your iPad thinking its a coaster!

Galen Thu 21-Mar-13 22:34:06

Yes. But it's not cheap!

Orca Thu 21-Mar-13 23:03:40

Galen did you have to take it to an Apple shop? How long did it take and can you remember the cost?

I'm in Solihull next week and I see think is an Apple shop in the shopping precinct there. I've taped the front up with Sellotape to be going on with!
