My daughter cut the bottom of her foot yesterday, prompting a short trip to the children's emergency dept of Lewisham hospital. They cleaned it and steritripped it, no stitches.


However, they said don't get her foot wet for 5 days! She can't wear shoes over it, so no trips to the playground etc. She's supposed to be staying off of it until tomorrow. Well, try telling a 2 yo to sit down all day!


So far we've managed puzzles, sewing, and sockpuppets before resorting to an afternoon of Wallace & Gromit on DVD.


How can I waterproof her foot, so we can at least go in our own garden? Or do we just have to tough it out for the next 4 days? I'm thinking of putting a nappy sack over her foot, then putting on a thick sock with a hair elastic at the ankle.


Anyone else housebound with toddler in this glorious weather?

I did offer to take her out in the buggy to run some errands which need doing anyway. I even tried to tempt her with the offer of crisps from the shop, but once she'd settled into W&G, she didn't want to go out. It's probably best that she (sort of) rested today. The cut foot was simultaneously accompanied yesterday by a fall off some play equipment. I imagine she's feeling a bit bruised and battered today. I'm wondering if by tomorrow I could at least get her into a little house shoe, like a soft leather slipper? Then I could take her for some indoor activities like Horniman. Anywhere localish selling toddler slippers? She's a 7.5/8 shoe size.
Hi saffron. Omg last night I was up a&e kings as my 4yr old broke her toe by a glass chopping board falling on it. She cannot go to school as she cant walk very well just hobble! So I'm stuck in also as she can't wear no shoes. We have a back garden to go in but went to cut the grass today and the cutters stopped working so we can't use the garden cos the grass is knee length. So drawing and painting will have to do for the next few days. Totally know how your feeling. Vanessa.

Made it out today -- hurray! Went to the new children's shoe shop on Brockley Road, called Gently Elephant. http://brockleycentral.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/gently-elephant-opens-today.html I found some soft soled maryjane style shoes for my daughter that don't hurt her cut when she walks.


We opted for grassy areas in our local park and stayed out of the sandpit. So I think we're not doing too badly with her foot. However, the dreadlocks building up from no bath/hairwashing are our next hurdle to tackle. Husband suggested I hold her upside down and dip her in the toilet, but I had to admit that my back is not up to it.

    • When I did a Diploma in Community Studies at Birkbeck College many many moons ago, community was defined a group with common/similar beliefs , people living within a defined geographical area,.
    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.
