THE Prepping thread - a new beginning :)

Mar I do what I think is a mental shudder when someone coughs or sneezes too close to me but I think it probably is a physical movement of utter disdain!

When I was on the respiratory ward there was a toilet flood. Workmen were in and out of the ward having been outdoors in the drains. I watched them come from the drain and into the ward umpteen times. My bed was opposite the entrance where the alcohol foam was. Outdoor boots is enough but not once did any of those lads put their hands under the automatic!! alcohol foam machine. :eek:

When we had some building work done at home, I showed the builders where the downstairs toilet was so they could use it during the day and explained that there wasn't a basin so they'd have to come into the kitchen to wash their hands - only to get the reply
"Oh, we're not that posh!"

Hi all,
I was looking at getting some buttercup syrup for the cold/flu season. When I noticed it says not to use after 28 days of opening.

Why is that? It is a bit expensive in the first place, I can remember having it made with hot water when I was a nipper.

I think I told you guys about when my mother was having the outside of the house painted a few years ago...

She told me she handed the painter a bucket, 'in case he needed the toilet'. I told her she was lucky he did not hand it back with wee-wee in it.

I quite like Marybeth!. Mary is a rather dull name on its own - I've never particularly liked it tbh

I don't find I get too obsessive about my hands in winter because I feel the cold so much I always have gloves on. I do hate entrances to public loos with door handles you have to touch to get out because you just know some dirty so and so will have gone out without washing their hands

I too have a little jig (depends how desperate I am too ) to find a loo door that can be barged with my elbow as my thinking is I can't get my elbow near my face. Life is all about damage limitation in't it?

Good design can solve some of these problems. I've seen shopping centre toilets where the door to the facility isn't a door at all, but a chicane of walls in a serpentine form. This prevents those outside looking into the handbasin area but leaves zero by the way of door furniture to be contaminated with mucky paws.

Obviously, this is likely to be suitable only on the scale of a commercial building, rather than a private home. Particularly a home like mine which is tiny.

Mary is my St *rbucks name. They can never spell my own...
