Surely a shed is not the sort of thing you can't spot. Maybe you should get your eyes tested.  ;)

Inappropriate humour, I know. I just couldn't resist.

Seriously - take care of yourself and don't fall asleep.

Ouch - bet you saw stars!!!

Have you painted your shed with something that makes it blend in soooo well with its surroundings that you can't see it any more?  ;D  ;D  ;D

Hope you get better soon. Take care.

Are NHS Direct always that good at being wise after the event - or were they just being sarcastic?  Can you imagine the looks you'd get from fellow plotters wandering around with a helmet on.  Mind you, I'm sure I remember somebody saving they go slug-hunting with a torch attached to a helment at night - sounds a bit Oz like to me!

That's the sort of thing I do! I regularly smack my head mowing under my daughters climbing frame. I know it's there, I can see it's there, BANG -yup it's there DOH!

BTW are you going to change your monica to 'headless'  ;D

yes it was stupid of me, a combination of factors led to it.

1. i was singing and not paying attention
2. i was walking fast
3. i forgot to duck
4. a currant bush caught my eye and distracted me
5. i was wearing a wide brimmed hat and so didn't get the final warning of the shed approaching my head.

yes it hurt and still does!

rick has had to wake me up every hour though the night to ask me simple questions - except he didn't ask simple ones so that didn't really help, instead of 'what is your name'  i got

'what is the capital of columbia?'
'what is the largest town in england without a premiership football team?'

these made my head hurt more.

Hey I don't know the answer to those questions and I'm perfectly clear headed!!!  :-[


'didn't get a final warning of the shed approaching my head' !!!

Sorry just got this mental picture of a big,menacing shed sailing through the air to head bang you ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D


Eileen.

Eileen - I almost spat my water all over my keyboard then through laughing too much!

Note to self - don't drink and read, it's dangerous!

Poor you,I sympathise. But have you sussed?

Apparently inanimate objects are in fact not,and conspire to be just there,or so placed to cause max chaos and havoc to the poor damagee(ie you or me)

I know this is definately a conspiracy,as last evening pot on the hob spluttered to scald me as I put my hand over to stir another pot,then when that failed, the oven got into the act to burn my hand when I pulled out the casserole.See?

And the night before that the rug deliberately rucked up to trip me just as the door swung to try to bop me one.

I suggest you keep a good eye out for that shed,and its contents, or before you know the fork will be trying to stab your toe while the hose trips you up.Once they have tasted blood there's no stopping 'em! :o

Legless I hope you feel better soon, and that your other half stops asking silly football related questions. :-\

I banged my head on the balcony railings a couple of weeks ago, and had a headache for days, and I wasn't even concussed. :(

i'll avoid cooking then, thanks for the advice toots!

Hi Legless,

Great excuse,Errr,reason ,ahem,eh? Toots ;D

Ouch!!  :( Your poor head Legless!  Sorry you were hurt. I have found  that it is so easy to have accidents at the Lottie.  I have sprained my ankle a few times, tripping over things and knocked hands and knees.  When you think about it there is all the makings of horrible accidents, with forks and shears and secatours and rakes etc. all around, if you aren't careful.

It is very easy to become distracted.  My husband went around our lottie and looked around for potential hazards, last time I fell into a hole, but fortunately I haven't had any Shed accidents - our Shed is quite well behaved.  Hope you feel better soon. love,  :) busy_lizzie

Just saw you online, legless.  Hope you are feeling better and have recovered from your concussion!  :) busy_lizzie  

yes much better thanks!

Well now that Jo is all welly again.. wivout any get well dusty i may hasten!!!.. I think sheds are not only DANGEROUS but also very very very devious..... for instance... not only would my shed like me to bang me head not just once but lots of times.. it also likes to pretend that its... dead full up..... mahn the number of times i have caught me shed trying to trip me up... but i get wise to it after a few months and when all the traps are so numerous that I cant get in ther anymore..... I empties me shed like.... and that well does the shed's in... and aint it funny,, that after you empties the shed...thens puts it all back...... ??? funny how those traps just seem to disapear and you have so much more room.... but dont let that fool ya becus thats just what they want ya to think and before you knows it your sheds at it again...... Dear Tiny Blair....... why oh why oh why oh why do we not have a shed rehabilitation order????? enuff sed cus as u can see i iz getting well political and think that maybe sheds should undergo some sort of psychological and phsyio examination before being sold on to us..... is why i dont vote anymore cus it dont matter what party is in power they iz never gonna agree to that as it is deemed tooo radical..... i meanz...whats all that about???.... okay so sheds go off the rails now and again dont mean all sheds are the same does it? and where are we?  as a society?  A society that refuses to cknoewledge that sheds no longer want to be stereotyped as being as thick as two short planks... no,............  times have moved on.... so more power to your shed if its a nice peacefull one but those that are not that way inclined... try to convert em.. i meanz all them atoms????? cant all be bad and I iz well on a babble

oz

Oz, you are a delight!   :) gentle chuckles all round.  :D
However there is a lot of truth in what you say.  Our shed is being very devious at the moment.  When Mike (my hub) enlarged it a while back there was lots of space, but do you know every time we go in there now we trip over all these things scattered all over the floor.  It is not half the size it was and I don't know where all the things in there have come from.  What's the betting that if I took everything out and put it all back I would uncover all that  hidden space again?  ;D busy_lizzie

No. Those of you familiar with L-space will soon see that that is just a special case of S space. ALL sheds are connected via wormholes in the fabric of the space/time continuum. This allows the tool/container/remedy you are looking for to migrate and hide in someone else's shed. It also allows all the dross of the centuries to invade your shed, so that even when your own property returns from its travels, it will be hidden under a mighty pile of superannuated forks with 1 tine broken, almost-empty compost bages, unidentifaible antiue dried foliage etc.

So basically you iz saying that sheds not only exist in the good old reliable L shape continium but also that they has been dabbling in the S continium tooo...... I knew it!!!   I knew it!!!  I knew it!!!....  now maybe if I can create a F (which is quite a nice shape  ;) ) and a K shapes this might just outfox our multidimensional sheds.... hmmmm must give this some thought..
