What a way to start the year

We have had a few mishaps. I'm off work at the mo and was supposed to go back Monday but I'll be having another week off at least cos I've managed to break my toe. New Years eve, just after midnight me and mum went upstairs to look at the fireworks from her bedroom window and I managed to knock the vase off the windowsill right onto my toe. Never felt pain like it and never seen that shade of purple before. I can hobble around but it'll be ages before I can put a shoes in this foot. What a way to start the year. We also had a clamity with the kitchen tap. It was Saturday after Christmas and we got back from a party at a friends house. Mum turned the tap on to fill the kettle and she couldn't turn it off, water was gushing. After much screaming she ran to get nice neighbour to help. He isolated it under the sink so we didn't have to turn the stop cock off and lose all water. The council have just been about half hour ago and we have nice new taps, let's see how long it takes her to break these LOL.
