Top Tip Of The Day

[mrs_overall]

When sewing, it is NOT a good idea to hold a pin between your lips when you have hiccups.
Luckily the offending pin embedded itself in my tongue and I was able to remove it with tweezers.

mrs ogwad I have the same bad habit of holding pins like that when sewing and that is always the moment OH asks a question and then says "well answer me clearly. don't mutter." thoughts on my part are unprintable.

all joking apart hope no real damage done.

Morning MrsO...if you buy those pins with the flat flower heads you can wedge any number securely between your teeth.......

Remove before answering the door......☺

Never have an iron in one hand and a phone in the other ...

Oh God seamstresses used to inhale pins they kept in their mouths in the last century but one
and died from gangrene of the lungs 10 d later.....

I think Dickens described such an episode in Miss La Creevy's establishment in his hit thriller - Bridget O'Reilly .... ( OK Nicholas Nickleby )

The last thing you want is a prick in your mouth....or is it?
