'Had an accident at work, on the road or in a public place?' Err yeah, sort of. Making a cup of tea in the Kitchen and little did I know Cook had left the iron to heat up next to the sink. Reaching for the kettle I branded my forearm. :-( I need that big bloke with the tache to get me some money!

Cook should sue you for leaving burnt skin on her iron. Careless youth!

Yuk!! The odour of singed hairs. Douse it with lavender oil and hold your nose Dan. Least you'll have a war wound to show off.

James! No sympathy? :-) Thanks Rebs. I have just got a cold flannel wrapped around it as it's stinging quite a lot. I can see the damage even now.

Yes, make him wear lavender oil and smell like a little old lady's knicker drawer. Then he might be more careful.

I didn't think he'd be old enough to have hairs on his arms . As my mum would have said....'It's your own bloody fault. You should have been watching!' Trifley

Daniel Is your kitchen 'at work, on the road, or in a public place'? I hope you were making Cook a cuppa too! One thing we have managed to teach my 14 and 12 year old sons is how to make a proper cup of tea. Oh, and they've never scalded or burned themselves. Possibly because we don't do ironing in this household! nell

No hairs singed by the way. It's on the underside of my arm. Good thing it wasn't the palm then there would be hair loss.

The Kitchen is a workplace yes. As a guest I should be looked after and kept away from such domestic dangers. Joy. Are you in roundabout way asking me to come visit? :-)

James Report 29 Apr 2006 10:39

Ah poor boy, he obviously did not see the ironing board as well. Is he qualified to use Kitchen Instuments? ie kettles, pans etc??

Daniel

Daniel Report 29 Apr 2006 10:41

If the iron was on the board as stated in the unspoken household rules then I wouldn't be in the predicament I am in now :-(

Keep it under cold running water for about 20 minutes. Dont put anything on it. Suzanne XX Who feels for you.

Suzanne Report 29 Apr 2006 10:43

I must admit I did think it a silly place to put an iron when plugged into the socket!!!!!!!!! Suzanne
