Well at least I am not the only one who manages to trip over things....lol. Seriously though, hope you didn't hurt yourself too much.
Hope Ash's dental treatment is ok, and he's not too starving by the time he comes round.
Enjoy the scrambled eggs, its one of my favourite things, especially with tomato ketchup on...although I know that's not too healthy. They say as long as you have eggs, potatoes and bread, you will always have a meal.Making the debt go down and savings go up

You see, now I feel as though I have missed out on velvet cloaks! I have got a 1980s suede jacket in a slightly more blouson look than ideal. Think sleeves pushed up towards elbows and that look.

I have always wanted a long Scottish widows type black velvet coat with a kingfisher blue lining. I am not sure when I would use it now but would still love to own it. I love the feel of velvet and had a velvet wedding dress as did dd although hers was purple.4

Glad you're okay (and still speaking to Mr F 😁), I frequently suffer from dratted furniture, doors, walls sneakily moving so I wallop into them, so my sympathies that your coffee table is having a rebellious phase.
Hope all goes okay with the vets
