Astarra,  not a good time of the year to be having accidents.  Look after yourself please. Nice that you had your lovely SS gift there to cheer you up. Very thoughtful SS.

Astarra maybe you need to slow down, although I guess that would be hard. Your SS gift is very lovely. It's wonderful that you had it to lift your spirits.

I don't think I will be able to wait until 25th but will stretch it out and just look. Not putting tree up till the GK arrive from Busselton.

I am so glad your SS cheered you up. You have had a rough year and work so hard looking after your lovely family.
Judy's right, slow down... If you can. And yes it's the pot calling the kettle black as I've always gone at 90 miles over hour, but am finding it less easy to do now!
Get well soon, and please make sure you have physiotherapy for your hip after. Xxxxx

I was totally overwhelmed to receive an extra gift from a not so secret SS today - an electronic gift voucher.  I have already 'spent' it in my mind in a thousand different ways ... making the final decision will be great fun, and I think I know what I will get already (well, I've narrowed it down to 10 things now), but that is bound to change several times more before I finally decide!  Thank you so very much to my dear super-generous and thoughtful second SS!

Thank you all for you get well wishes  :-*, & yes, my SS gift certainly cheered me up, thank you again  :-*

I was helping a family friend move house and was holding a basket full of stuff, a child ran past and I stepped back to avoid dropping the basket on said child, got my foot caught in a roll of lino that was just sitting there, and my leg went one way while I landed on my back/bum in a different direction ---- but I didn't drop the basket!!!!  8) :-)) :-))
Hip has been put back in and is ok now, tailbone is still painful but at least I am up and about (mostly) again.
I am definitely hoping 2015 will not be an accident prone year, and I am sure my bruised battered body is too!  ;D
have just been lying on the couch for the last 2hrs, DH looking after me very well  :-* :D

Hope everyone has a very merry accident-free Christmas and New Year.  :D
:D

Lots of places do that Chookie. Amazon. POK, Coles Myer to name a few I have used. POK will send an email or they will send the actual card.  You just print it out or download to you smart phone if they allow that facility and good as gold !

It is 35 here today with a it of rain and storms in the distance. My DHmjust whacked a March Fly in the house. So I am reaching in my SS bag for what I am sure is a fly swatter and will return in a moment with a pic.

OMG I was so right. It is indeed a fly swatter which also doubles as a fry pan and I am soooooo happy now I can make square eggs for sangers perfect for small fry up such as roasting nuts  but mainly a great fly whacker.

What a useful gift that will get lots of outings. I am thinking a western egg for supper after the cricket. Perfect with a glass of bubbles.

Thank you dear SS. There is also something else in the bag but not looking.

Geoff just cracked up when I explained the story then read out your posting Gert.  I doubt it will fit into the a/f if the handle is not detachable.
Gert, what would we do without your sense of humour, you've always given us so many laughs.  May you continue to do so for many years  to come.  Good luck with the fly swatting or egg frying.
