You know how you alway hear how a big % of accidents happen in your own home.........
Well I just had one uch:

I was putting a huge log on the fire and I dropped it on my bare foot, the nail on my big toe has gone into my toe and it's pouring with blood and won't stop :upset:

ooooh wrap it tight and put it up.. not being funny, but put it up above your heart to stop the blood flow

Rotten luck there chilly. As Jan says, wrap it up tight. Use a (clean!) snot rag or whatever you have to hand.

Ouch Chill. Hope the painkillers are helping.

I am somewhat of a toe expert given the amount of times mine have been broken, trodden on with football studs, ingrowing toenails (you get the idea...)

If the nail has bled it might be something of a blessing. It's when the blood fills up beneath the nail and the pressure goes nuts. If that does happen, as bad as it sounds...a carefully placed heated/sterilised nail eased into it can relieve the pressure and let it bleed out*

Eeeeeeeeuuuuuuuu footballers foot, saw one of them once.

Ooh I had me two pieces of fruit so I kept my side of the bargain, reccy.

Well done JC. I'm not fantastically keen on fruit myself. It looks wonderfully colourful and tempting in the supermarket, but once you get it home there never seems to be a right time to eat it. And you always end up with sticky fingers.

Even Black Bess like fruit, so I'm a real odd one out in this family.

She can't have pears or grapes as they're dangerous.

One of my cats will eat almost anything except citrus fruits. She tends to play football with the grapes tho'. And sometimes she spears the grape with her claw and it gets stuck to her paw.
