As I posted the other day, I booked a company to come out and clean our oven this morning, but get anxious about having people in the house that I can't ask to leave at my convenience.
Well their technician chap arrived as agreed this morning (in fact, he was early) and soon got on with the job at hand while I tried to occupy myself in the living room (with the connecting doors shut so I felt 'safe'!).
About half an hour ago though I heard this voice call my name from the kitchen, and went through to see what he needed..... he'd only gone and cracked his head on the corner of the extractor hood, so was bleeding all over the place!! :scared15: Thankfully I'm not squeamish, and have had first aid training, so I stood him to drip over the sink with a piece of paper towel while I ran for the first aid kit!
To cut a long story short, I got him cleaned up with an antiseptic wash, stopped the bleeding and decided that he probably didn't need stitches, then made him a cup of tea and stood talking to him for a bit to make sure he didn't have any signs of concussion or anything (I didn't think he would as it was only a simple split in the skin, but as with everything it's better to be safe than sorry).
Needless to say that this wasn't the problem I was expecting to have from having a contractor in the house!! :roflmao:
He's now back cleaning the oven, and I'm back sitting in the living room trying not to panic and rather wishing I had another emergency to deal with as I felt more calm while I was dealing with his cut head!!
Oh, and my Mum cycled past whilst I was stood in the window putting pressure on the guy's forehead, so I'll have to go and explain it all to her once he's gone :roflmao:
