ooh.. I was all sensible this time though.. when DS1 cut his hand I grabbed the nearest towel.. the white one! This time I thinked for a second and used a red tea towel lol...
DS2 was most impressed that he had a yellow face like a Simpson... after being scrubbed with iodine!
Oh.. and it looks like he is not responsive to lidocaine.. so he felt every single pull tug and stab with the needles! 9 injections of the lidocaine and I think they said 5 stitches.. I don't think I could have not cried!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -
