    Poor you Val. I did shut my fingers in the front door once and felt okay until walked up the drive and everything wet black and I was fainting.Had to get back in the house quick.

    I would sit for a while to get your breath back and to make sure you are not going to faint too......a cuppa if you can manage it.

    Oooooh, Val, I hope it gets better quickly.

    And let this be a lesson to us all - IRONING IS BAD FOR YOU. We have Val's pain as proof of that.

    Oh Val. Poor you.
    I bought one of thos contraptions, some time ago now, from a big store begins with Wi, no not Wo. I didn't realise it when I first let the thing down, cut my fingers open across on a razor sharp edge underneath the contraption. Took the thing back and complained to them. Got my money back and a voucher for about £20. This was over 10 years ago. Didn't stop them selling them though.

    Hope you recover soon.

    ouch Val :shock:

    Sorry to see that, hope you don't need it needling to relieve the pressure. It is quite interesting watching the bruise finally grow out if you have clobbered it at the base of the nail. Takes ages!
    I once left my thumb in the door as I got out of a taxi. :oops: Then sat in silence with it pounding away through a job interview. AND I was offered the job :D
    Hope it not too painful for you tonight, and good excuse to make someone else do the ironing in future!
    take care

    Ow Val !!! made me wince :shock:

    maybe it is the week for this kind of thing :roll: cos last night I managed to peel my thumb rather than the beetroot I was holding :shock: :shock: :shock: now I have a cut down my nail, together with a lovely cut to the top of my finger.

    We will be able to swap notes on how our fingers and nails heal :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:


    seriously, I hope it doesn't hurt too much today, and that it gets better soon.

    take care
