I remember when I was in my youth (lots of years ago) we used to have a frozen turkey. On Christmas Eve, my mum was in the living room and asked my brother to check whether the turkey was defrosting. It was on a large plate thingymadoo at the time, in the kitchen. He only brought the turkey in to the living room saying "what, you mean this" and as he moved, it flew off the plate hitting my mum on the back of the head. We had to get her a cold compress and then rang the local casualty, who when we explained her symptoms, advised that she was suffering mild concusion!! Brothers hey.

OK so I am not going to lighten this up....

Last year a family friend fell out of his loft whilst getting his Christmas dec's out & died. The reason I am telling you is we are now so careful when going into the loft (prior to this I would go up on my own, I even did it a couple of weeks before DD was born)

Be careful in your loft.

I told OH the other day not to pour water on the tree with the lights switched on (it's a big low bushy tree and hard to get to the pot). I will read him this when TV Burp finishes and hopefully he will safer from now on.
Nicky, sorry to hear about your friend in his loft, personally I am terrified of being up there anyway, I go up all the time but I am VERY careful as our is also right above the stairs so a long way to fall.
Hopefully we will all be safe this year

my son got a skateboard for xmas a couple of years ago and i was really worried about him falling off an breaking a bone so i was constantly telling him be carefull, hold on to the wall wen gettin on etc so off he goes...... and holds on to the door frame to get on, yup along comes his m8 an shuts the door......off comes the top off his finger his m8 went white an ran home. got him to the hozi but the was no anethisist (sp???) so he had to stay in for 3 days but he refused and had it stiched back on with just a local anastetic so he could get home an play on the psp he got bless him

We ended up in casualty on Christmas Eve. I had bought very sharp knives that week and said to my husband to have a go to see how good they were. Unfortunately he cut through his thumb slicing bread:o
The only good thing is he has been in no pain with it, just rather embarrassed.
I felt really guilty.
