Hi everyone. Im back from holiday,but would you believe.
On new years eve when the clock reached midnight i said to every one. Well thank god 2008 is over, I hope that 2009 is better after 5 operations in that year.
Next morning (new years day) hubby and i went surf casting on the beach where we were staying.
A wasp landed on the bait board so hubby gave it i flick with his knife which happened to land on my arm and sting me. (felt like someone had stubbed a smoke out on it.) My arm puffed up so big and i went all wozzie that i ended up at the emergency department. and another sting was put in my arm, but this time was an injection. Dont know which was worse.
So hows that for the start of 2009. But anyway every thing ended ok and we had a wonderful break.Lets hope that this is the end of my bad luck.

Oh no Jill, what a start eh? Bloomin wasps, they scare me to death. I don't believe people when they say if you leave them alone, they will go away. I got stung once and I didn't even know the flippin thing was there.
My story is that mum got told she was in remission last Monday, which was great news. Then a few days after me and my brother were playing on the nintendo wii, my brother tried to do a tennis lob and ended up smashing a light shade which landed on mum and cut her leg. Luckily it wasn't a bad cut and stopped bleeding after a few seconds.
I panicked like mad with mum having cancer of the blood, so went round the room like a headless chicken looking for a plaster.
Mum thought it was so funny and went into hysterics.
Thanks for that Binny. Thought i was the only one that was jinxed. At least we can see the funny side of it all. Have a very safe new year and love to your mum
I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find an ancient saying that goes: 'Those who be stung by a wasp on the first day of the new year are sure to have good fortune and great happiness for the rest of the year.'
Maybe Confucius didn't write it, but I just did so believe it!
That quote by you was so cool. Thankyou Shelagh. And yesterday i heard that ACC was paying me a lump sum for a medical misadventure. so i think you may be right .All my love
