suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments It's great to be back and to see too that Dean has made it back online again to get his Punt in for the next round - but it seems that Philip has also been absent for quite some time as well? I do hope it is because he is offline for a few weeks due to being on an absolutely fabulous holiday somewhere.

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Well? - that's one way to go tripping without needing a Passport! ;o>

Craig White | 6727 comments well, if he's now become illuminated and seen the expansion of the universe, we should be expecting an improvement in the quality of his punting! boom oom om m * ! :)

Anita Bailey | 3841 comments Hi Suzy,I spent the afternoon in minor injuries in Sevenoaks after the three year old took a header off the car and hit her face.She had an enormous bump on her forehead,took the skin off her nose and then had a nose bleed.Luckily all ok .


message 861: by suzysunshine7 (new)

suzysunshine7 | 16038 comments Ohhh Anita?! - that sounds quite scary and extremely painful too for the poor little love! It's a very good job that most Kids are an awful lot stronger than they look and that they tend to have a knack of being able to bounce back from having these kinds of accidents, isn't it? ;oO

Lez | 7490 comments My sister’s little girl was 3 when she fell on her face on the rough gravel of the back lane. She bit through her lip, banged her nose and forehead. My sister said there was blood everywhere and the poor child was very shocked. No real damage though. Good job sis was a nurse. I couldn’t cope with anything like that, I’m not great with blood!


message 864: by suzysunshine7 (new)

Hi Nick,

I'm trying, without much luck, to figure out who you meant when you tipped the Lions. The game in question is:
North Melbourne Kangaroos v Gold Coast Suns (in Melbourne)

Can you have a rethink please?

theDuke | 6491 comments I have a couple of wild Strawberry plants growing in pots.....they are smaller than the typical kinds..& so the fruit they produce are minuscule..about the size of a pea...but soooo sweet! They produce some pretty little white flowers too.
