Sitting on the wall outside school this afternoon waiting for the sprogs to emerge.

No3Child launched herself at me, flung herself between me and the other Mum I was blethering to, and over the back of the wall. I grabbed her before she totalled her face on the other side, but she decided it would be a fab idea to give herself extra leverage by pushing with her foot on the top of the wall, so I twisted to keep a hold of her, and pretty much overbalanced myself too. The other mum grabbed me to stop me falling and landing on the child.

Unfortunately, twisting made my ribs twist as well, and I almost passed out with the pain. I feel like I have cracked a rib. I know I haven't, but I feel like it.
