Thank you all. I will sleep well tonight. Now the bruising's coming out i am feeling much better - particularly as I can think again.
DD and I had fun with the chicks again just now - took them out to do their daily cage clean so they free ranged for a while on the kitchen floor. They are so funny - they look at any and every small blemish or tiny mole on your arm or hand and peck at it!
I must just remember NOT to brush my hair in that particular spot for a while......
How curious - we have a Chinook helicopter flying overhead right now - Unprecedented and there's no mistaking the sound...I am the leading lady in the movie of my life

Moral of the tale ladies - IF you decide to declutter stuff DON'T leave boxes lying in places where they may get tripped over!
I hope you feel better soon. I have a similar tale, but not of sensible flyladying, from a few years back, appropriate for the time of year:
Ladies: If you go to a Mums' end of term evening at the pub, do not roll in bladdered at 2.30am and promptly trip over the worse than useless dog still snoring in the hallway, break 4 ribs and knock yourself out, only to awake at 6am with the dog attempted resucitation, cat standing on your chest demanding food and a complete KH stepping over you to leave for work, ignoring the big red splodge of claret over the hallway flooring.I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.Yup you are officially Rock n Roll0 -

Morning All
Soappie - hope you're feeling better this morning.
Jojo - only you could do that and live to tell the tale so well.
So far this morning
Bed stripped
WM emptied and reloaded
TD on
Twinks made - well the first lot are in the oven.
The kids both have end of year parties at school tomorrow - DS wants to take Twinks and as I won't have a lot of time tonight due to cubs I thought I'd better make a start on them. I don't know what DD wants to take as she is still in bed but it will probably be the same.
Have a good day all
Hugs
