A Christmas ouch!

Got a game of air hockey for my two girls in the sale to put away for Christmas. I went to put it on top of the wardrobe in the spare room so it was out of prying eyes...got it half way up and my dodgy wrist gave way and I dropped it onto my jaw.....

Called oh up to help and he laughed at me (until he realised how much it hurt!) hopefully it won't bruise or I will be going to work tomorrow with what looks like a punch in the mouth!

    Thats awful, i was in the exact same position, standing on the bed, trying to get a large flat packed dolls house on top of the wardrobe, got one corner on, got stuck, had to shout for oh to come and do it....managed to do the scooter though!! Hope your jaw doesnt bruise too much.

    Ouch! I got one last year from debenhams in the sale, was a huge hit (with adults!) but the first one we had was all smashes inside even though the box was fine so might be worth checking. I hope you don't bruise.,
