    I have a bump on the head and a sore eye and no I wasn't drunk LOL

    I went flying trying to fix someone's blocked sink (literally derriere over) in the rain.....

    Don't know if I need to see the doc or not cos like eye feels like it could water at any moment

    Crikey Erme! Hope you are all right but maybe better get yourself down to the Dr just to be sure because I ignored a similar accident once and ended up with long-term problems. Of course it may be nothing but better safe than sorry.

    Another likely option is concussion - I was definitely a bit out of it after what happened to me. :D

    Let us know how it goes. :)

    Hi Mike,
    You are very quiet these days. Hope you're okay and it's a sign that your life and work is starting to pick up a bit.

    I start my new job in 5 days and before that have to get the house ship (oops nearly put in a much more accurate word!) shape bar a new sink and wardrobe before then. I have SO much to do :eek: (where's Nick Knowles and Billy and Mike's Mob when you need them!)

    Am going to be living on a narrowboat initially but there is a pub with wi-fi up the road. Very MSE not!
