I have been waiting for the delivery of some phones (see bargain buckets Woolies thread) and they called last week when I was at work and sod`s law they called yesterday only after I went out to go the police station after spending most of the day waiting in for them. >:( Anyway I rearranged delivery for today as this was the last time they would attempt delivery before the item went back to the company. Well I assumed it was the phones but I have other stuff that I`ve been waiting for so I wrote a note on the door saying to please wait a few minutes in case I`m upstairs or something and don`t hear the door.

So anyway I was downstairs for the better half of the morning/afternoon and then I thought they will probably call around the same time they did yesterday (which was about 5) so I`ll grab a quick shower. Yes sod`s law again, in the shower a few minutes and I hear the door knocking. In my haste to run downstairs I turned the taps the wrong way and burnt myself then I fell out of the shower and almost hit my head on the sink, all this time I`m screaming for whoever`s at the door to wait and not leave as I could see a figure retreating from the door so I run down the stairs but because I didn`t put my slippers on properly I tripped and fell halfway down the stairs. :( But I picked myself up and burst through the door just as the delivery man was about to get in his car. I must have looked a right state and to top off this sorry state of affairs whilst I`m signing for the package, big gust of wind blows open my dressing gown because I didn`t tie it up :o he cops an eyeful and so do the little kids playing in the street. :/

My backside is sore and I think I twisted my ankle. :( Not to mention all the neighbours are gonna think I`m some sort of flasher. :( Oh and I almost broke my neck for nothing it wasn`t the phones it was a pair of trainers.

Could this week get any worse? :(

I know you shouldn`t laugh at others misfortunes, but LOL! :D Hope your bum, ankle and reputation recover soon.

Nina you poor chicken......

I would offer to rub the offending areas better but might be labelled a perv lol..

Hope your trainers were worth it, next time you flash in the street can you look at the white transit van parked over the road as I have been there for ages and you looked the other way doh..

Only joking of course... It could have been worse you could have forgotten your dressing gowned now that would give the neighbours something to talk about "ooo that Nina, trying to entice young delivery men in by streeking"

Take care

PS did the trainers fit.

And you wonder why men try it on with you. You dirty minx.

All the best,

It`s not easy being different. It`s not easy being cool....but somehow I manage....

Yikes! sounds like a bad day all round really. still it could have been worse, not sure how, but it could have been worse. If it makes you feel any better I recently dislocated my shoulder coughing and broke my foot sitting at my PC, so you are not the only accident prone one round here!
Mind you, during neither of these incidents did anyone see my meat and potatoes, so you have that on me.. not that you have meat and potatoes.. anyway, moving on..

You lot are sooo cruel :p

I can`t sit down, I`m typing this standing up and the ankle has swollen up quite a bit. I also can`t lift my right arm properly. Hope I haven`t done some serious damage. :(

Whoot how on earth did you break your foot sitting at the PC??

Nina those delivery chaps will be queuing up to deliver-probably lots of things you haven`t ordered! :o
Hope it feels better soon and the trainers fit.
Thanks for the chuckle :)

Oooch, that doesn`t sound good! I hope it settles down.. Ice it, then bath it in hot water... if that fails then self perscribe painkillers. voddie should do the trick..
I broke my foot in true stoner fashion.. I was working at the PC rather late and pretty much under the influence, when my foot went to sleep.. well it does that a lot so i didn`t worry about it until I stood up and put my foot down. I put the whole of my weight (about 13 stone) down on my foot, which was bent backwards under me, and it broke.. At the time it made a noise like a carrot being snapped and made me feel a bit sick, but it was only after a week or so of hobbling around that i went and got it x-rayed. its still furbar now, which is annoying, well more boring than annoying.. you would not believe how little you can do when your foot is broke. and its the first thing I`ve broken, except my nose, which doesn`t count.

Whoot, OMG :o ouch, ouch, ouch indeed!

Sue, the trainers are not even mine, they`re a birthday present for my OH >:(

It hurts when I try and lift my right arm above my head, I can`t breathe in properly and my rib feels funny :/ I`m thinking maybe I should get this checked out? Thing is the hospital waiting times around here are like 8 hours+ :(

I`m all out-ouched now.. it only hurts when I move, walk on it, and hit it with a club hammer anyway so it ain`t no thang.
Dunno what you should do about yours really, maybe try and rest it today and see how you go. can the OH drive? take you somewhere during the night if necessary?
You might have been winded some, or you could have taken out one of your floating ribs! i don`t want to worry you though.
You are in London aren`t you? anywhere near St Pauls way? Barts hospital has a minor injuries clinic that is pretty quick. I took my foot there and was in and out like a shag.
