Flame - it's rubbish isn't it? Glad the pills are working

WME - I will write on your sleep thread later!

Alice that means I actually have to do it though

DS just slid off chair and banged his chin putting his teeth through his lower lip. loads of blood everywhere - all over my cream top and pale blue skirt, all over my cream armchair and all over the beige carpet. He wouldnt let me put a cloth to it and was twisting away from me and shaking his head spraying more blood everywhere. Then while I was sorting all of that out(after dealing with him obviously!) he went upstairs and smeared his face all over my white duvet cover, grr! Teeth didn't go right through and bleeding has calmed down now so should be ok but extra cleaning for me

COLD water gets blood out. My Dh is a vet and is often covered in blood. Run a cold bath and put everything in to soak for the day

Yep it's all soaking in cold water (apart from the carpet which I sponged with cold water), have put a bit of napisan in for good measure too

Welcome back Flame, don't worry friends don't judge friends' slatternliness when visiting, they just want chat and tea (and ideally biscuits too )

Did the quick tidy work Cherry?

Oh no at blood everywhere! Lips bleed so much, even when it's not very serious.
