In my house there's a saying --- nothing good ever happens in the sewing cave after 10:30p.m.
I SWEAR ever stitch I take after that bewitching hour meets up with Jack the Ripper the next day!

Although I am sometimes guilty of not wearing shoes, I KNOW I should. Glad I had them on the other day, Some upholstry tacks had gotten knocked over and I stepped on four of them, they were completely imbedded in my shoes.

moral of my story....should it be 'tidy up in future' or just 'wear shoes' ?

I can't believe no one said
GET A TETNUS SHOT!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know two people who died of tetnus because they didn't think it necessary or who thought they'd probably gotten one recently enough.
Last year I fainted (in summer I have to take extra salt because I don't seem to retain it) and hit a vortex fan. Blood all over, injury actually rather minor but hubby took me to emergency and first thing they did
was give me a tetnus shot. So, please, GET A TETNUS SHOT!!!!!
