I got the call

All those horrible cures. Surgical spirit on cuts, Dolly Blue for wasp bites, calamine lotion for a rash perhaps they knew more than we think.

I know that now but i didn't when i was a little kid. It didn't make any odds to my dad what it said on the jar or what my mum said. You were getting a spoonful of Vicks and that was that. Give him his due he would have it himself, who knows maybe my granddad did it to him.

States clearly on the tub, not for internal use, it were liver salts for kids over here, i remember a lad beside me with skid marks down his legs below his shorts
Only when one day a few of us wen to pick him up for school to see his mum holding him and forcing a spoonful down his throat and shouting this will wash satin from your soal, we of course reported it to the school and action was taken by social against his highly daft religious mother, lad seemed better later on in life.
 
I too got the call Friday. Had it Saturday. I was very pleased and surprised. We are well ahead up here on the east coast. I’m only (only? 😁) 57. However I think it may have something to do with being down to have an operation this year. Which mean no driving for around 3 months. Poor Motorhome, will think I don’t love it anymore 😊😆 😢
 
It's a strange old disease.
My father in law who's 95 fell at home and had to go into hospital where they managed to give him Covid19!
We were all geared up for the worst and it hardly touched him - he's still there having other stuff done that he'd ignored-refused for years!
So you just don't know 😀

Dad used to give us a spoonful of Malt as kids.

Out of 5 kids in our family, I was the only one who liked it so I used to have a second spoonful.

we got malt and cod liver oil followed by orange juice every winter morning.................then when daughter and grandchildren came along....they got it also.......only difference was........i loved the malt hated codliver oil....was always told it was nice and didyou good..........told my bairns its absolutely tastes horrid but get it down quickly and you are very brave and it will do you good....(it worked a treat) no bother getting them to take it......
 
Very strange, Caz tells me I have a letter this morning to book Covid jab, I think its strange because she hasn't had one yet and is diabetic on insulin. I have mine due to being in the >65 group so they must be going through them okay

What Annie says is spot on.

Get Caz to ring the docs asap, they'll sort it out.
Tell her not to let them fob her off, either! :devilish: ;) (y)
 
She hasn't had anything at all, just normal diabetes stuff, just thought she would have been higher priority than me unless of course they know something I dont :)
