I’ll start… 3 days ago I took a chunk out of my thumb whilst putting my socks on because I had a really rough toenail I hadn’t noticed. It’s like a paper cut but worse! Still hurts, still stings with everything that touches it 3 days on 😭. Please make me feel better….

Stood on a rake which whacked me fully on the nose. You only ever do it once…

Edited

Like a proper Tom & Jerry cartoon??

I dislocated a finger trying to yank my handbag out of the back of the car, having earlier hooked the handle over the back of the seat so that no one could open the door and steal my handbag ...

Sneezed and somehow managed to cause extensive nerve damage to my lower back. I couldn't walk for days and was prescribed diazepam which resulted in weird hallucinations.

Awful at the time but I laugh about it now 🤣

I'm really short sighted but didn't have my glasses on and bent over too far to check what I was doing, and the razor slipped!

Had a gas hob. Bent down to put something in oven below and set my hair on fire.

I put my hand into the blender to unjam it without switching it off first…

Broke my little toe.

7 weeks post partum.

By walking into the kitchen island in own house and catching toe on the corner. Which was only possible becayse it was in the brief period I wasn’t wearing those sodding compression socks.

I had a teaspoon in a cup of tea, split tea, spoon fell out, I slipped, spoon took my toenail off. I tried to step over the mess, cut my good foot on my broken cup, needed stitches. I couldn't wear shoes on either foot.
