When you are doing home renovations, or other back yard jobs, do you ever miss your target and hit the wrong nail? Have you ever hit your thumb with something else? Have you ever had the nail go black, while enduring the throbbing? Share your thoughts, or any other accidents you may have had while undertaking do it yourself jobs.

I cant remember an incident that I whacked my finger. But theres this incident that I cut a finger with a knife while slicing stuffs in the kitchen... ouch! it bled so badly. I guess accidents do happen, cant prevent it. :)

Yes, I've done that before, actually cut through the corner of my nail on my thumb and needed a couple of stitches. Hmmm, maybe I'm just plain clumsy, or perhaps my thumbs like to stick out in the wrong places, lol!!!

No, thankfully I haven't. At least I learnt from my mistake with the knife, shame about the hammer though, lol!!

Sure.. But when I was like ten years old. When your older you learn to be careful :) I guess that's a lesson learnt lol ~Joey

Ouch! That hurt! Hubby has done that before. It takes quite a while for the black spot to grow out too. A constant reminder, lol. :)

Yes, a good reminder to be more careful next time. I've actually caught the end of my finger as well, maybe I should take more time doing my jobs, lol!
