    Ooooh ouch!! Felt that. Pop your hand under the tap for a bit.

    Then kick the ironing board (safer than the wall!)

    That's the problem with good days, they make you lower your guard.

    Seriously, I am sorry, it's typical isn't it, you do something that is normally a struggle then un-intentionally hurt yourself. Rest them as much as you can for the rest of the day, perhaps that will help. DD

    Hi

    Ouch - that sounds painful!!

    Ironing??? I think that must be that thing I gave up years ago after reading Shirley Conran's 'Superwoman' book..

    I only buy things that you can wash. spin and then hang up to get the creases out..

    Mind you, it was nice, when I stayed with my sister after my hip operation, to have my dressing gown ironed before I put it on..

    Best wishes

    Oh Anna, has it settled down yet? What a thing to happen and you had just earned all those brownie points for ironing. Not fair. :roll:

    Hi Anna,

    Oh that sounds painful.... I think that's the trouble when we feel a bit better we forget and get hurt along the way..... As Speedy says stick it under a tap fr a bit and I hope it soon calms down for you.

    Me well i never iron..... but then.... I have the pulled through a hedge ensemble running for me :lol::lol::lol::lol: Cris x

    It is the glass that cheers, and you needed cheering. Job done! I hope your hand is feeling better today. DD
