Such is my typing speed that when I started Susanwiv had had no replies, by the time I posted Susanwiv had given her explanation and you, Sue, had extended your sympathies.

A snail crawling over the keyboard can type faster than I can :-|

I will, Susan - don't you worry. Now make sure you get plenty of rest and that your family are aware of how close you came to catastrophe.

it's a bit clicky. at times Allan....sometimes when others post I don't see what they have written until after I have posted then it looks as if I have ignored them.....


..but back to my smack in the mouth......sympathy please....it hurt!....and seriously......it was a cheap tent and one that parents may feel is ok for a child to use....what if they opened it and got injured

tsk! Sue....you are taking the mick now......am orft to sulk :-(

That's a good point, Susan. We bought a cheap pop-up tent for the grandies to play in. They have a great time setting up home inside the tent but I will warn Grandad to watch them when he puts the tent up in future.

You shouldn't be using pop up tents at your age :-0

SueMaid Report 23 May 2013 23:46

Ahhh.....here's Lynda. No sympathy there then - Susan's injured, Lynda :-|

Susan10146857

Susan10146857 Report 23 May 2013 23:48

I bought it for Oh Lynda.....can't have him using the real tent....he snores........am off to an agility comp for 3 days....I would take the caravan but have never been tenting and the hippy in me wants to try it out :-D


no Sue....as soon as I saw her name I knew there would be no sympathy there :-(

Susan10146857

Susan10146857 Report 23 May 2013 23:50

Anyway....what do you mean...at my age......am miles younger than you :-D

~Lynda~

~Lynda~ Report 23 May 2013 23:52

I know your Oh is 30 years younger than you, but a woman in her late 80's buying a pop up tent, whatever next :-0 You should be taking it easy in a nice rocking chair :-D

Allan Report 23 May 2013 23:54

Obviously your injuries are not serious enough to prevent you engaging in electronic fisticuffs Susanwiv :-D

Susan10146857 Report 23 May 2013 23:58

It's my mouth that hurts Allan...not my typing fingers.......as Lynda well knows cos she is deliberately making me laugh so's it hurts more, as are you.....
