Helter skelter

Today we went to John Lewis and used our vouchers towards a lovely shiny mirror for the chimney breast. The Trafford Centre is sheer hell on a Saturday afternoon, and I wasn't allowed to club people who I thought were Christmas shopping. Most disappointing. I did go and ogle a Kitchen Aid mixer though. I could be a real domestic goddess and make cakies and everything.

I was sitting in the Papasan chair in the living room before we left, dossing about on the internet, and I noticed that the chair was quite close to the wall and I didn't want it to scuff the paint. So I stood up, moved the chair, and then sat back down again. At which point I discovered it wasn't balanced properly, and it tipped me over backwards, complete with laptop in hand and legs in air through the open dining room doors. Which is preferable to falling through closed glass doors obviously. However, I now have a headache and a sore wrist, and am not relishing the prospect of going to Tesco later.
