Hi Ive namecanged as IRL this is TOTALLY identifiable (sp??)
Two weeks ago I was just about to turn in for the night when I decided to put into our loft a large piece of loft flooring.
2.4m by 80cm or so.
I stood on the ladder and got DS1 (13) to help me.
All was going well untill the board went past the "tipping point" at which point it over balanced and trapped me.
I had started the whole thing wrong and so ended up facing backwards on the loft ladder with the (bloody rather heavy) board trapping my neck against the lost hatch surround.
NOT a good situation to be in. I was carrying the weight of the loft board and was slipping further and further down so was getting more and more trapped.
The DCs got my nephew round to help but when he moved the board it just trapped me futher.
Que calls to 999 and me shouting from the loft to their request for an ambulance " I AM breathing, do NOT send a paramedic !!!"
Soooooo, much to my relief the firemen arrived and I am quickly freed.
TWO engines ( shame , shame) and a paramedic car ( double shame)
BUT........
and here is my AIBU fot STILL cringing every time I think of it.
I was wearing my swimming costume .
Im just cringing as I sit here, sigh ... will it EVERY go away
