Not the best start to the day.

Just be grateful you are able to get out of bed.

Why so nasty? It was meant to be a lighthearted post.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. Some of you have clearly had far more difficult situations than I have.
Today has been great, no mishaps.
There is nothing gets me out of bed faster than the cat winding himself up to vomit sillynanny so I sympathise with you.

Feel for you Flippinheck and all other posters with unfortunate tales to tell.

Can't help but think how easily we would have taken these mishaps in our stride back in the day.

Aging is a bugger isn't it?(but better than the alternative as my dearest friend says!)

I've had so many days of "what can go wrong next" that I can't remember them all.

I've just read this Flippinheck as I've been recovering from 'my' Wednesday. You certainly had a bad start and hope the rest of your day went better! I was going 'across land' to get to my hospital appointment, involving countryside roads when a tractor carry large round hay bales tipped over in front of me blocking roads into and out of a small village. Thankfully no one hurt and police quickly came and sent me back around the village via lanes etc. It was busy with stressed people skidding round bends on the autumn leaves and I had TWO near-misses. When I got to the hospital over an hour later, my irritable bladder went into overdrive and I knew I wouldn't make it from the car park to the hospital toilet so I had to stuff anything absorbent in the car, down my pants! True! I did make it though, and just in time, and the Consultant was great as usual. Sometimes it seems things are out to get us!

Ask AgeUk if they have a list of recommend traders in your area. There are retired people who do small jobs like repairs. I found an ad for a”Jackie of all trades” who does little DIY jobs. Our local council has a list of recommend traders
