I'm so so sad. Actually really sad.

Someone gave me the most beautiful bunch of flowers. I can't remember the last time i had floiwers.

Anyway. I was putting them in the ice bucket (because i don't own a vase) and the bunch is all nice and arranged and i difn't want to spoil it.

And then i was carrying it into the kitchen and DH (stupid fucker) had opened the (stupidly placed) stupid eye level stupid grill (what stupid fucker puts a pull down door thing just by the stupid futility room door.

Anyway. I walked ito the chest height grill door. It rammed me in the boob really hard. I bounced off and whacked my arm on the worktop. And it really really hurt.

And the worst bit......

I dropped my beautiful flowers snd they fell all over the floor all unnaranged snd spoilt.

And there is a gallon of water all over the floor

It'll be alright. Cry out the pain in the boob, then pick up bucket and flowers and do another beautiful arrangement. Leave the water for your DH to mop up. You can admire your stunning floral skills while he does it. Smile

QueenSconetta · 07/09/2012 17:13

That sucks. Poor you, xx.

squoosh · 07/09/2012 17:14

Let it all out, sore boobs and messed up floral arrangements are worth a stamp of the foot at the very least.

GoldenBabooshka · 07/09/2012 17:14

Ouch! Nothing worse than a sore boob, Are you alright?

Ask DH to clear up the water while you try salvaging the flowers.

YANBU btw, I love flowers too.

Thanks
SheelaNeGig · 07/09/2012 17:15

Ah, that's crap Sad. Get dh to buy you a beautiful vase to make up for it.

AgentZigzag · 07/09/2012 17:15

Your stupid fucker DH should clean up all the stupid fucking mess then get himself out to buy you some more beautiful flowers Smile

Are any of the others salvageable?

If the stalks are broken could you use a glass or a bottle to put them in?

Ouch at your broken boob.

Socknickingpixie · 07/09/2012 17:15

YANBU, I would have cried too. You need an emergency florist to sort the whole sorry mess out, plus a G&T for the sore boob

SheelaNeGig · 07/09/2012 17:18

I haven't even any damn wine. But dd has tennis so i can get some then. If i have stopped crying.

Just don't hit him with the flowers. They deserve better!

MammaTJisWearingGold · 07/09/2012 18:46

I am jealous of the eye level grill. My cooker has a low one, just wrong for DC speeding through the kitchen.

I do hope your book boob gets better soon and that you have sorted your flowers by now and that your stupid fucker DH has mopped the floor! Thanks

iklboo · 07/09/2012 18:52

I'd have gone nuclear at DH for doing something so dangerous. Hope your boob is ok. Demand restorative chocolates & Wine.

SheelaNeGig · 07/09/2012 19:10

DH has mopped the flood and bought me wine.

Boobage is remarkably sore. Also appear to have jarred the old back. Am aching. (i am aware there are worse injuries but i am a hypochondriac and a sensitive soul).
And i have a cut on my thumb which is also a bit sore too.

PomBearWithAnOFRS · 07/09/2012 19:16

Awww :( cut thumbs and bashed boobs are like stubbed toes - they bloody well hurt a lot out of all proportion to the size/impact of the actual injury.
At least DH saved his life redeemed himself by fetching wine and a mop.

curmit · 07/09/2012 19:22

:( badtimes. I love flowers - even when we are skint I always have fresh flowers. (£3 / £4 every week/ every other week? I neeeeeed them!) they really give me a lift - the house is less 'meh' with flowers :) Make sure you buy yourself some as a treat next week to compensate for this week's boob-inury and flower-massacre. :)

lurkedtoolong · 07/09/2012 19:33

Poor you. Definitely not U to be upset - I'd be a weeping wreck.

DH isn't a complete bastard for bringing you wine - don't leave him yet.

TiggyD · 07/09/2012 19:59

Flowers don't mind getting a bit dropped. They grow outside after all with badgers and squirrels and things about.

Boobs are like fingers: just tape your left boob to your right boob for 2 weeks.

Poor me. All bruised and tender.

Wine all around.

I also loved Futility room. I wish I had a Futility Room, me and DH would have such fun with that. The room where everything is pointless and doomed.

BUT did you ring the Emergency Florist?

Sossiges · 07/09/2012 22:18

I see you're a practical girl TiggyD Grin

Sossiges · 07/09/2012 22:19

Sorry about your accident OP, get that wine down you and I think you deserve some cake, too
