Advice

That is a great clip absent reminds me of my German BIL

Orca there is an Apple shop in Solihull, in the precinct as you say. I got my iphone there.
Have you managed to persuade Frank to meet you for morning coffee yet?

Frighteningly close to the truth in this household.

Thanks Absent

Orca Just for you www.snotr.com/video/8965

Go back to bed if: two sentimental items get broken before you have had breakfast GD sits in prickles while you collect the eggs find a tissue has snuck into a large wash full of dark clothes and burn your lunch. Today can only get better.

Do not try to carry a new microwave down three steps in ice and snow - microwave dropped but was unharmed thanks to horrible but useful polystyrene packaging. Greatnan felt a right fool in front of new French neighbours and had sore knees.
From DD1 - do not let excitable dogs drag you down a slipply slope so you break your ankle. (And after all the warning she gave me about slipping whlst walking in the Alps.)

Thanks Galen I'd better try and get it repaired, on the quiet, if I can. It was a Christmas present from my son.

Ouch Bags - arnica to the rescue? Hope it's ok in the morning.

Do not climb a ladder whilst holding a spare microwave and try to put it on top of a cupboard. It could be quite expensive in osteopath's fees ...... [silly Gally emoticon] - the microwave survived though!

Do not take a plastic bottle of tomato sauce from a high shelf and drop it on the quarry-tiled floor of your larder. No one was hurt but boy, did it look as if there had been a massacre.

No . I haven't had that problem myself. But,I do know it can be done!
Phone you local apple to ask.
If you are interested I am thinking of selling my I pad with retinal display 32 m as I've now got the mini!

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!

Yes. But it's not cheap!

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!

Ouch!

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.

Lucky you!

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

Galen - just what my bossy daughter says!

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

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.

Yours,

Cut, bruised and lumpy bonce of Devon.

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!

Ouch bags

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
