Annx, your OH sounds a bit like me, I am not normally alowed to hang out the washing, but when I do I have to put her "SMALLS" at the top of the line which is shadowed by our "Blue"tree. that way nobody can see them. |

David, I had a cat once that was forever getting abcesses - obviously the rat won sometimes! I used bread poultices on him - and it worked!! |

The poultice is a cheap yet efficient method of drawing the puss or poison out. |

Under wear on the line. When Ellen does it my shhorts are pegged from the waist, when I do it I peg them from the crutch, why is this.Ellen insists hers are pegged close to the house. |

Hi, I'm new to all this ,but been reading thruough all your recent chat. Very entertaining. As for hanging up washing, my mumalways told us if you wear it on the top, hang it from the bottom and if you wear it on the bottom, hang it from the top. As for knickers, I don't care who sees them on the washing line, at the end of the day we all wear them. When we were kids my mum used to put rollers in our hair at night when we went to bed if we were going somewhere special the following day or getting our school photo taken. Nightmare. Also if we had a bad cough which bothered us at bedtime she used to put a lump of butter rolled in sugar onto a teaspoon for us to suck to help the cough, I used to get margarine as I hated butter. Nowadays if Benylin doesn't work you are left to cough your guts up, which I have been doing for the last couple of nights. Anyway I gather most of you are from England. I'm Scottish and the weateher in Edinburgh today is rather pleasant. Might even sit in garden later. |

I was always taught to respect others and I have passed that on to my two.I gets my goat when I see young children being rude and swearing at adults should they be told off for something.I do think most children are respectful but it's the ones that aren't who give the others a bad name. |
