    I have just had such a panic, I was sitting playing with some images and I heard a really loud BANG! followed by the most heart breaking ear piercing scream, DS had left the sip on the trampoline undone, and DD had falled 2-3ft off the trampoline onto the concrete, she has a nice (starting to turn purple) ear and has luckily not cut the skin anywhere, the games now start as she is trying to fall asleep so I keep poking her and waking her up! :( not sure what else to do? have given her calpol and put cold compress on side of face/head

    Oh, your poor DD. As you say, try to keep her awake. You could take her to A & E though if you're worried, might be worth it just for peace of mind. Arnica helps with bruising, either cream or the little homeopathic tabs which just melt on the tongue.

    Thanks Tomsmum, she seems to be a bit better, but she is refusing her tea and just lying down on the floor, I need to go to M&FILs in about 20 mins so will see how I get on there, MIL might be able to help then if there is something wrong!

    omg rusty Hope Maddison is ok. I bet you both got such a fright.

    Rainmac Hassy and the Wife . Good luck and i think you're very brave. I'd join you but i've already been promised the rest of the nostalgia stamps next friday but i will try not to buy anything else . The amount of things i have and don't use is obscene . I gave loads away a few months ago and have still got far too much. Must have stamps that have never been inked , papers still sealed in packet etc sound familiar anyone.

    I have been asked to make lots of goodies for the ear trust to sell to raise funds to help children like carly with ear problems . So i'm going to prove my oh right for once and do as much as i can without buying a single thing. Should be quite fun.
    I've also been asked by a lady who runs a bakery near me if i could supply her with a folder with pics of towel cakes nappy cakes etc and a poster for her window as customers are always on the look out for unusual gifts.

    Emzy i added your blog to the list. Anyone else i missed?

    Rusty Gosh, I bet you all got a shock.. Hope Maddison is ok, she will feel dozy after that bang.. as has been mentioned, try and keep her awake and watch out for vomiting.. Good job you are going to M&FIL's so you can have some help and reassurance... x

    Oh Rusty it must have been really upsetting hearing her scream :( I hope she is ok, you're doing the right thing by keeping her awake, you could try calling NHS Direct and see what they say to do?
    Big hugs for her xxx

    Thanks Craftgranny :)
    towel cakes and nappy cakes sound interesting!

    I just can't believe it has happened, wouldn't mind so much but both oh and I drum it into them that they have to do the zip up but as usual he didn't listen! Going to fils in a bit so might end up leaving the kids with mil whilst I take fill with me!

    Thanks for the advice guys, I just panic and can't think straight even though I know what to do

    aww bless poor maddison rusty how awful. My brother fell down the stairs carrying my niece once and she hit her head she was ok but she was sick and i think they def should have took her to hospital just to be sure but they monitored her at home gave calpol and cold flannel as she was fine.
    Hope she picks up soon.

    I have started a new diet blog so that i can record my progress and chart which flavours i liked and didn't like. I feel so rough but that is to be expected for the first few days.

    I need to make 2 cards for teachers and i think i may pinch the seed holder idea if that's ok.

    Evening all

    Rusty hope Maddison is ok.

    Melissa sorry to hear about your oh grandad.

    Lei well done on your promotion.

    Gemm hope everthing works out for you tomorrow.

    Had a real fright yesterday was driving to the shop with OH and suddenly out of the corner of my eye I saw him go completly limp he had passed out. Not sure what made him do it took him up to the docs yesterday he thinks hopefully its just one of those things that happen but he has to go and have an ECG tomorrow and isn't allowed to drive untill he has seen the doc on Monday.
    Did get some good news on tuesday we went to a meeting about Aimee going to reception in september and she will go full time from the 2nd week back instead of after oct half term.
    Right I'm off to blog hop and put a card on mine made it for a dt project and then realised I'd used the wrong colours so had to start again.
