After a long and trying day yesterday I came home and decided to do some nice craft work to wind down. Sat watching the telly in my rocking chair and promptly fell asleep (turning into a right 'ole cliche!) Nothing wrong with that until the wretched rocking chair decided to go feral and tipped up, depositing me head first onto the desk, whereupon I promptly woke up to an enormous goose egg on my forehead and a chipped front tooth. I've spent today feeling more than usually absent and wishing that I could spend the rest of my natural life in bed.

OUCH! is the rocking chair made of wood? if so, poke the wood burner with it ;)
Gets your own back …….

Busy, involved, dreams maybe ;)
Riding a horse perhaps or water ski-ing?

Backwards yes but forwards , oh heck.
Not a nice chair at all. ???

I stupidly have it on a rug - to protect the floor ;D ;D - and I think what happened is that the rockers just tipped right forward while I was asleep and I slumped forward, only waking when my head connected with the desk. I have the most lovely black eye today too. Very festive.
The chair already has a bit of a criminal record. I have to wear a surgical caliper on my left leg and I was sitting in the chair to fasten it on and just lost balance or something. Chair tipped over, depositing me head first onto the floor. I ended up with a shocking nosebleed and an inch deep gouge in my leg from the buckle of the caliper which took months to heal.
I've finally admitted defeat, much as I love the damn thing. I'll have to find a chair with proper legs to replace it then at least it won't be conspiring to finish me off.

Wood burner then ;D
How's the bruise, helped by frozen peas?
-
Your chair sounds horrid Nefersmum.
How far away was the desk from the malevolent chair?
It would seem best to get shut of the chair given all of it's exploits
-
It's the one I use at the desk so it was quite close but I was sitting back watching the telly when I fell asleep. Family are now nagging me to replace it which seems reasonable under the circumstances. Nothing with wheels though - knowing my luck it would be possessed by the spirit of it's predecessor and shoot backwards just as my bum was heading downwards. Argos catalogue here we come.
-
Oh yes get rid of the thing. It's possessed by something really not nice at all.
I loved the fact you had it on a rug that protects the floor. Begs the question of what protects your head. Only way I would keep it is if you wear a crash helmet when sitting on it ::)
