Heeheehee.........you just reminded me of that Billy Connolly joke, when the vicar comes for tea and the kids have coats on the beds 'cos they're so poor. LOL

Everyone knows Ida Down r street,& old army coats are THE best for keeping out the cold....but sometimes if it's really cold ya have to stitch the button holes up ;o

Libby an ida down is a old fashioned sort of a du'vet or an old army coat, ;)

The socks, including the odd ones ( of which I have many) and the Scotchmac I can probably deal with but does the double decker have to go to Manchester? The only double deckers we have around here are on the school run and I no longer look good in a gym slip :((

I wish I could ask "what is a ida down?"


By the way..... the cough. I tried every thing. Slept for weeks sitting up, drank loads of ice cold water and usual remedies. Went to the doctor after 4 weeks, he said "it's viral, come back in 6 weeks if it hasn't cleared". I thought "what a ****" but sure enough it was gone within the timescale !!

BC..
Have a hot bath add few drops of eucalyptus (making a steamy bathroom,)
and while sitting in your bath sip warm apple juice with lemon.....or swig plain whiskey if you prefer........your choice... result!!

Good evening Mrs. Legend I don't believe we've met?

Ooooh.......I know the answer to this one. Do I get a prize? ;-))

As told to me by a doctor.....teaspoon of Buttercup syrup in a glass of hot water, sip slowly......no not that slowly, it'll go cold!

Mary

Edit: Opps, where's me manners! Good evening Mrs Leg End ;-))

just swig yur bailies BC you'll be fine :) Evening Kay x

oh a great idea,


what about--------***Buttercup Syrup***.{}}}}}}}.....thats got glycerine in it....its nice,, just big swig from the bottle when in bed last thing,,,

Ah, that's it BC - Rita Hayworth, got it now. I just knew you sounded like a glamorous actress from the 40's, or was it 50's, can't remember

Thank you Florence:-) adds glycerine to long list.......XX

hi all, i swear by a hot drink of boiling water, juice of half fresh lemon, 2 teaspoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of glycerine. sip gently until finished. take 1/2 hr before bedtime.

my dad also says this will work because if glycerine is used to make bombs blow up, then it will definately break up a chesty cough. you can get the glycerine from most chemists. last time i asked for a large bottle as i live 60 miles from town and didnt want to be back and forth. i was really surprised when the assistant asked me what i wanted it for, i said for my bad cough what else would i do with it. she laughed and then said some people make home made bombs!

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

*swishes long red hair back....tsk tsk girls,anyone would think that I was an aul biddy......pmsl....

Don't forget your liberty bodice as well as the long johns lol.

RR mentioned about steeping an onion in milk, my Nan used to do that, but before she put the onion in she used to stud it with cloves, then when it was cooked she ate it. can't remeber what she did with the milk though.

Get some Strepsils,,a sworn by bottle of Benylin,and dont sleep in the nude..
