As far as unusual accidents go then nothing really special. However, I did manage to ride my bike into the only tree in a field leaving me with a broken leg an arm, wrist, three fingers and a collar bone!

To this day I have no idea how I managed it! The only good thing to come from it was four months (or thereabouts) off work!

Which of course goes to show that accidents are not all bad!

Yes, those paper cuts can sometimes be very deep and the agony when you forget about the 'scar' and put your hand into a bag of Salt 'n' vinegar crisps and get a quick reminder!

However just in case when you put wrapping and if it was a typo' for 'Rappin',

I think those people deserve everything they get for the pain they cause to the rest of us!

I have got myself some thin cotten gloves for wrapping so to avoid those paper cuts. Mind you I dont eat salt and vinegar so no pain there.

Have not broken anything but have badly bruised a big toe when coming downstairs and trying to step over the cat, which was sleeping, when the darn thing woke up and lashed out at my bare foot causing me to miss next step and bounce all the way to the bottom. Funny thing is I did the same thing last Wednesday morning but this time got friction burn to elbow trying to stop the slide lol!!!! Now make sure cat on way downstairs in front of me

OK, so I will admit to it. For the last couple of weeks I have been sporting a fantastic black eye - looked like the result of ten rounds with Mike Tyson.

I fell asleep on the loo. Yes, I did. Unfortunately, I literally nodded off, and hit my temple and cheekbone on the handbasin. Woke up, schlepped back to bed, fell asleep in the right place this time. In the morning, thought "Did I dream that?", felt side of head, realised I hadn't dreamt it. A few days later I began to develop the most amazing black eye - it literally walked its way across and around my eye. I tried to tell people David had done it to get the sympathy vote, but no-one believed me!

Lol Pendy.......I suppose that could be classed as an accident involving your furniture or would it be personal hygiene equipment..
