Thank you Tea I'll live plenty antibiotics and things and time to heal it'll be fine
Weather has been so nice. We haven't been anywhere but the smalls played in the back garden. I haven't done very much other than the usual.
Hope you've had a good day

Ooh, that sounds nasty WB. Playing in the garden sounds good to me. We sailed home today but the traffic was queuing from Chorley going the other way :eek: Looking forward to spending some time in my garden as well this weekend. xx0

I'm always burning myself on the iron and oven, those burns are pretty painful so a burn that involves a visit to A&E must be extremely sore. Hope it heals quickly. Look after yourself and enjoy the lovely weather this weekend xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0

Weather still lovely so smalls will be in the garden again I think. They are just eating lunch I know it's a bit early but we had an early start to walk to my appointment and back.
Have a lovely day

Sorry you burnt yourself, it must be painful. I hope it heals up soon. I'm always burning myself on the oven and iron like SA!
I hope you and the DC have had a lovely day in the garden enjoying the sunshine.

Evening.
Thanks all for stopping in and leaving replies. I haven't really been online as my internet is going to run out
Been and had my dressings changed and the smalls have played outside. Haven't got half as much done as I wanted to but I'll catch up eventually. Dosed up on painkillers and the antibiotics make me feel awful.
Hope you've all had a lovely Easter
Spent the last change in the bank on some juice
