    Good morning everyone, Allie is tired today :(

    the last 24 hours have been horrible :( had to drive my best mate and her wee boy to A&E yesterday afternoon after the velux window (in her sons room) smashed over her and her wee boys heads (for no apparent reason as well - it was 6ft up) so there was glass everywhere and the wee man was screaming and both of them looked horrendous with all the blood everywhere. :( She called me and I went over from work, then I called her hubby and my OH and they came down to board up the window and clear the glass away (they took photos for insurance and window companies) then i took them to A&E where we sat for 6 hours waiting to be seen, eventually got seen about midnight and wee man had 3 stitches on the side of his head and my best mate had 6 stitches on the back of her head and 4 stitches on her hairline/forehead :( i got to bed at about 4am and then got up at 6.30am for work :(

    sorry realised that was a maybe a bit graphic for a Wednesday morning :o

    today will be a better day i think!

    Thanks Carol, I've mentioned it to my boss so she knows and she said i can go early but I want to work til at least lunchtime as were shortstaffed today :( The window has only been in for 4 months - its an attic conversion so the wee guy could have a bigger room since he was growing up so fast (he's 3 going on 13!) it's definitely covered under warranty by the company so thats something at least!

    yeh and i would put a compensation claim in against the company who put the window in
    i assume your friend took the brunt of the impact it could have been so much worse if she hadn't have been there

    I think thats what she's doing today - getting the replacement sorted, the rest of the windows checked and getting a claim made. Yeah, she took most of the impact which I'm glad for (I know that sounds horrible but I mean instead of her boy!)
