When you really start to notice weaknesses that have been creeping up on you.

I have got very weak wrists merlotgran so I totally sympathise with you. I have a small kitchen so have to stack my pans one inside the other making it very hard for me to get one out from the bottom of the stack whilst supporting the weight of the others. I have lost count of the amount of times my wrist has totally "give way" resulting in a stack of pans crashing down onto the tiled floor. It sounds like the house has fell down! I do it so often that DH doesn't even bother to investigate the crash.

Your postman has probably seen a lot worse than a lady who, didn't quite make it in time watered her own leg with the watering can. grin

Bit of a Tena lady moment??

Actually I so agree. I have been kidding myself I am really good for my age and then DGD (2 1/2) wanted me to "skip" home from the swings with her and I couldn't!

My washing machine has conked out and the new one won't be arriving until Friday so I washed out a few things by hand this morning. No probs with the washing but when I tried to wring them out I realised it's not just unscrewing tops of jars and bottles that has now become a problem.

Fortunately, it's a nice blowy which is just as well because I'm looking at more than just a few drips cascading out of my PJs onto the lawn.

As if that wasn't bad enough I then decided to water in a few plants at the far end of a border using the watering can as I CBA to unwind the hose.

I didn't grip the handle tightly enough and managed to water my left leg at the precise moment the postman arrived. hmm

If he sees us in the garden he reverses down the drive and hands the post through the van window so there was no concealing my soggy jeans.

He probably didn't believe a word of my explanation.
