Mel (& Paul) Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 There I was, all smug because Paul is such a wizz at diy and (he thinks) I am such a dunce . He's putting up trellis railings round our raised patios so that we can have a chicken poop zone and he had the day off today to finish it before some friends come for the weekend. I got back from work to find him with his right wrist bandaged - a nasty accident with a hand saw resulting in 5 stiches - ouch!! I feel a spell as a nurse coming on - shame there arent any grapes around the chooks have had them all Lots of sympathy for my pour wounded soldier (blast it also means I have to do the cleaning this weekend too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mel (& Paul) Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Bit extreme to get out of doing a job That's what I told him! Have told him that I am going to stick him on an iceburg for the polar bears to eat along with my dad (who broke his ribs last week) and my mum who broke her foot on Tuesday Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popcorn Posted August 12, 2005 Share Posted August 12, 2005 Well, at least you got your 'three' out of the way Mel Good luck with all the nursing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 12, 2005 Author Share Posted August 12, 2005 Ahh its all coming out now - he's just wandered in and read these thread and said "actually, I did it so I could watch the test match in peace and quiet!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Ah-ha, canny, ulterior motive . lots of sympathy & the test match in peace. It still sounds a wee bit drastic to me . Hope Paul's feeling a bit better this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicola H Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 Hope Paul is feeling better today Mel I am sure a bit of cricket therapy will cure him especially with a beer in his good hand......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel (& Paul) Posted August 14, 2005 Author Share Posted August 14, 2005 He's still suffering - having to use his right hand for cutting up food (he just when I suggested cutting his food up for him. ) He is regularly watching cricket and drinking beer (purely medicinal of course ) I managed to slice a big chunk out of one of my fingers this mornign whilst chopping onions and nattering to a friend - nothing like his but I do have a big plaster on my finger (not that it stops me surfing the forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnnieP Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 Poor you both...no doubt he would say you did your injury on purpose to gain the limelight? Its strange how when OH injures himself its due to him having an unfortunate "accident" but if I ever get hurt, its because I'm "careless or clumsy"!! Will your injury prevent you from cooking tonight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will your injury prevent you from cooking tonight? more than likely. I can just manage to get the gin and tonic open, but would be wary about any cooking, might be just a bit to hard for me........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
