    product recall after another grandparent ignores a toddler and leaves dangerous chemicals in their reach!! There are some idiots about!

    Poor little man :(
    was thinking the same thing but they really do need to do something about child proof caps cause they are anything but child proof.
    Hope the wee soul is better soon.

    Off I go to reload the WM and start the hoovering

    All lists where applicable today done except for mopping kitchen floor. Front garden done, progress being made in back garden, but it's time for a cuppa and a read of the paper.
    Spend less now, work less later.

    Nearly done; I just have to put a cloth over the work surfaces; the table will be done tonight when Mr LW moves the BM off it for me (BM lives on top of the fridge-freezer when not in use) and I'll do the trolley tomorrow morning after we put the binbags out; I'll be bringing the bottles box and the pink recycling sack in from the shed in a moment, and they'll have to go on the trolley for now.

    I just burnt my arm on the hot pan out of the BM.:( Ow!!

    So-called child-proof caps seem to be accessible by children but not by folks with arthritic hands imho. I reckon the whole concept needs a complete re-hash. If ever I come up with a solution, I'll patent it! Grrr at people who think that a child-proof cap means they can abdicate all responsibility, though.:(

    On Saturday afternoon I wrote in the old thread that one of the items on my Toots list is to "save £250 for the next grandchild's "Welcome to the World" present (as far as I know, he/she isn't even on the way yet!)".

    Guess what DS2 told me today! :D
