I had an 'allotment' accident this week - a piece of wire from a cage speared my thunb between the nail and thumb. OUCH! I think it tried to swell under the nail because it hurt like hell all night, so off I went to our Practice nurse at the Docs (who is so lovely). She gave me a tetanus jab, organised some anti-b's and dressed it, so apart from looking really stupid, it feels better now! She did advise me not to go off to Scout Camp to help put up tents, but I really wanted to see the camp (as it is my little Cubs 1st time), find out where it was and what it was like etc that I went against her advise and hammered a few pegs in with a very large mallet (luckily on target!). 
I'm glad I went - he's gone off now, SO excited (he's only been in the cubs about 3 weeks..) and I'm sure he'll have a fantastic time. His little brother will miss him though, I may have to put the play tent up so he can 'camp' in there. I did point out to him that he couldn't go and stay as it was such a long way to toddle into my bed at 3:00am!
I am really fearful about the allotment and everything getting blight. I shall be gutted. I'm planning a big day tomorrow (when husband gets back from making Scout Camp breakfast).
I fear for my green credentials at the moment and I'm even too ashamed to admit it to you lot.. Husband has bought a big plasma screen for the club,
but worse than that I need to strip years of paint from our club (metal) windows and bought some stuff that strips about 150 layers at once, read the instructions and am now too scared to use it 
but WORSE THAN THAT I have some weedkiller at the club that I desperately need to use on the gravel paths. I can't pull up the weeds (I've tried that) and the area is too big to keep it under control.
I seem to have really nasty chemicals everywhere I turn - een ants in our place shout 'na na nana na' until I spray them with something so toxic that fish get up a petition against it..
The only good thing is that in my spec for refurbishing the Rugby changing rooms I have got them to quote for a low energy lighting solution and valves that turn on the extractor when it is needed and lights that turn on when someone enters the room (and off again when it is empty). In changing rooms no-one ever turns the light off.
Got to go get little one into bed.

Hello! I do hope that your thumb is okay.
I don't think that your green credentials are in much danger. I say that because you're certainly greener than most and instances like these practicality has to come first. I'm sure that you'll compensate another time.
Take care and have a good week.
