chickenlass Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 About an hour ago I came back from grocery shopping and while I had my outside shoes and a coat on, thought I would go and see if I had any eggs. Well I had forgotten that I had put the netting up yesterday so the girls could free range again now we are nearly out of winter and being a clever so and so I thought I would manage to just swing my leg over the netting. Well I did manage it going in but not coming out... I caught my right leg in the netting and fell over backwards onto the concrete ouch!! But the good news is I had two eggs in my hand that I was determined not to crush as they have been so few and far between lately and they were OK The things We do to protect our girls and eggs. Felt a bit of a plonker and hope the neighbours didn't see me as it must have looked funny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lisa33 Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 At least there was no damage to the eggs. I hope you don't have any bruises too!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basset Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Hi Hope you're okay now. I know how you feel - I tripped over my dog on the school run this morning. Unfortunately loads of people saw me - and I was covered in mud!!!! I felt very silly!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Oh dear! Reminds me of when Lesley's carl stepped over the electric fencing and zapped his nadgers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Poor Carl. My Mum did a similar thing, except she didn't fall on her back, she fell on her front and snapped the pole-hence we have a gate in the run now! Not that the chickens care-they hop out over the run and fly off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiggy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 whoops, I went out one frosty morning in just my dressing gown & garden shoes & slid down the bank on my back dressing gown flapping open, just as well there lots of trees and shrubs at the bottom of our garden to hide my blushes and everything else from the neighbours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willow Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 My husband kept grumbling about the amount of chicken poo in the garden (tales of others poop collecting put me to shame I kept denying there was a problem until the combination of sleet and poo on the path at the w/e sent me flying (and I landed in yet more poo) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olly Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 oh stop it I am crying reading this ... first Basset tripping over the dog, then poor Carl zapping his ... and then the dressing-gown one. Been there, done that (well not the nadgers bit!), why is it that when you fall over you always do it in front of lots of people? I got up out of my seat on the Tube this morning, and battled my way to the door as usual, past loads of people who don't move an inch. (They're probably grumpy because they didn't get a seat). Got to the door, and realised that when I picked up my bag off the floor before standing up, I'd somehow grabbed the hem of my skirt as well so I was holding it somewhere around waist level! Luckily I think my coat concealed most of my blushes ... well I hope so anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiggy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Olly I did somthing similar many years ago at an interview, desperate for the loo because I was so nervous, did the interview & got up to leave & heard a lot of coughing & tittering from the panel, OMG did the classic & had tucked my hem into my knickers I was 17 years old and thought I was going to die, actually the old fella on the panel looked as if he might Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Oh no Chickenlass, hope you are not too bruised! Must admit I did the same thing myself - trying to get my leg over the chicken wire around the veg patch and got tangled up, ended up falling flat on my back. Luckily, about an inch from a steaming pile of yellow curry chicken poo! How I missed it I'll never know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
