AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH
I am typing this with one hand plunged into a bucket of water after an unfortunate incident with the iron. I am soooo unused to ironing I obviously momentarily forgot that I'd switched the damned thing on and seared three fingers of me left hand on the hot bit... WHAT A NUMB SKULL!
Ppl who know we have a cleaner to do ironing will be pondering WHY I'm even looking at the iron... HA .. I have decided to keep up my morale by dressing smartly when I go out and to cut more of a dash at the hospital than you can in baggy tracky-bottoms .. ... a plan that is seriously compromised by having no trousers that fit me properly (since I've lost a couple of stone - the silver lining in the whole enterprise!)...So I rooted an old pair out to wear today and they needed ironing.. the rest is history.....
And yes, I have tried to buy some new ones... also difficult...
Debenhams had some that fitted quite well, but only had SHORT length in my size...
M&S quite nice over the bum and leg, but a bit snug over the loaf area..
Evans - I just refuse to shop in there when I'm size other shops sell!
I'll keep you all informed on these crucial issue..
maybe hourly updates....?
my hand still hurts :(

Hahahaha... I gave up ironing a long time ago for the very same reason you're about to never touch the thing again.
May I point out at this stage that before the onset of modern technology, my darling mother used to iron my hair (read: head). It's amazing how cautious you become following war wounds on your skull.

Susan: I am soooo unused to ironing I obviously momentarily forgot that I'd switched the damned thing on and seared three fingers of me left hand on the hot bit.

@ jean - don't be so vulgar -- the moderator only JUST allowed this comment through ...
I meant "loaf" as the loaf-sized tumour in my belly -- swelling me out a bit more than usual! Well that's my story of why the waistbands are too tight, and I'm sticking to it!
I absolutely agree re housework -- I will be leaving it well alone now .. in fact one of the radiographers told me I shouldn't be ironing with my condition .. bless her .. so now it's official ..
@ sam was this an early attempt and GHD straighteners by your mum, then ?
@ Keiran "me hand" is a feature of local dialect (it is a non-standard possessive pronoun) -- think "audience and purpose" .. tho I'm VERY pleased that you noticed, and will look forward to strict S.E. use at all times from YOUR good self!
Good luck with the fund-raising on Friday ... I hope you raise LOADSA money ...
Aye... indeed it was. The finished hair looked sleek as hell, but really wasn't worth the pain. Besides, I recently treated myself to a rediculously over-priced limited edition pink pair of GHDs... the only redeeming factor being the £35 cancer research donation included. Ultimately still burning the forehead from time to time, but such is the price we pay for fashion and beauty these days!
Hope you have a good night whatever you're up to. Just off home so will check in tomorrow morning (to my bosses utmost delight...) ;o)
Inabit.
@ Sam -- I've been able to give up GHD since my hair got so short .. there's nothing to straighten!
You need to send me a new pic as you change your looks more often than me, I need to know if I'll recognise you when I see you.
there you go! there is a proof that you should not be doing this kind of work! :-)
You are obviously still very good in typing! I am glad that this injury has not prevented you from more important things!
And there is nothing wrong with Evans! I used to work there! :-)
I think that I found your couple of stone... look, right here around my waist! Although, to get rid of it I'm rasing money for cancer research so it just goes to show that the world is a cirle of, well, something...
Lovely to see you today!
Oh, and I THINK that I have the hang of posting comments just once instead of three times now... I'm not good with technology - I just pretend...
I might let you off, i see how you manage to dig your way outta the hole....
Got to go to bed now, driving test tomorrow :(

A CLEANER?!!?! I cannot continue to correspond with such a bourgeois.
Tsk Tsk...step away from the housework Suze! =)
I think maybe you should employ Kieran to do it, i'm sure he'd be very thorough haha.
I hope you're feeling alright other than this slight injury, i'll try and be a more constant commenter (even though I always read!)
Much love x
Step away from the ironing board Suzie and nobody will get hurt. Which reminds me do you have a basket of our ironing at your house Mum?
Sue just rang but you hadnt got home just in case I get tied up with my engineer and the mistry boys this aft.
Hope your fingers are not to sore did you put a soft dressing on them, I sugest you put a warning sign on the iron like danger not for Suzes use.
Its very windy here today I went to Tescos and it sure blew the cobwebs off.
lots of love to you both L M xxxxxxxxx
Susan,your mum is loosing it,being tied up with an enginer,after 50 years with me as an enginer it should have been enough ,must be going kinkey? signed woried.
GOSH you lot have been busy while I've been away -- 17 comments is now a record ...
@ Michael - I'm SURE we had this argument about me having a cleaner years ago -- so are you forgiving me for the BUPA thing then? (which I have to say I found a much harder thing to do than employing a cleaner .. )
@ mum and dad - you two have really made me laugh there ... kinky mum.. eh? gosh ....
@ Julie, what do you know about ironing? I'm sure mum has more than one basket of your laundry at her house ..
anyrate the ice pack treatment yesterday really reduced the swelling and there is only one finger with a blister on it ..
@ charlie -- hi - glad to hear you are still hovering ... and hopefully working hard too, this year!
Sue talking of laundry your cheeky sisters taking one basket home and leaving two more to be ironed.cooker fixed the engineer was really nice young chap it only took him ten minuets to change the fan mechanism
lots of love L M
@ Little Mummy -- I hope you didn't get too tied up with that "really nice young chap"
I've got to dash now -- luckily I realised that TODAY is the day my appointment moves forward to 9.10 a.m.
Definitely slogging my guts out this year...need the A grade! Getting really stuck into Hamlet at the moment and, much to my own surprise, i'm REALLY enjoying it! Such a better plot than the Scarlet Letter haha. Expect much whinging about coursework commentaries in the near future also... x
Hi darling, gosh wot a lot about ironing! Maybe one of teh silver linings is taht you have time to reflect on evverything?? I`ve rung a couple of times and left one message. Do ring me if you have meeting from hospital or other needs next week. I have been having a rather energetic few nights with accidental late ones in manch and then stoke last night. Had a lovely time dancing til 3 which felt just like the old days. Love `n dancing from mike xxxxxxxx
