    Years ago a friend nipped to the shops leaving her two children playing at a friends house. When she got back she found her daughter just coming out of the back door............when questioned the story emerged..........the young boy had been playing on a swing in the garden and fallen off the swing, cutting his chin.........sister took him home and dealt with the crisis.........what did you do, asked mother.........well I looked for a plaster but could not find one, I found just the right thing a bandage with loops, so I looped it round his ears.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mother shot off to find son happily palying with his friend with a sanitary towel looped round his ears!!!!!!
    It was soon replaced by a plaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I remember a time when..... no actually i will start this story honestly. :rotfl: I had had one too many glasses of wine and dont remember running for the tube in my high heels. I slipped and hit my head on goodness know what and had a gaping cut on my forehead. My friends who were about as badly off for the white wine as i was were no help and i was pouring blood dwon my face. A kind lady on the tube in her late 30s came up to me and applied a bandage to my forehead. After telling her i loved her i continued my journey. I got home and went to bed. The next morning i woke up and recalled the events of the night before as i touched my bandage carefully. Gingerly i got up and went to the mirror to try and remove the bandage. As i looked at my reflection in the mirror i realised to my horror the "bandage" was actually my good samaritans (unused) sanitary towel :D:D

    One of the offspring received a nasty nip on the forefinger that refused to stop bleeding. Not being one who uses tea-towels unless muvva comes over, I wracked my brains to think of something that would hopefully stop the floe but not stick to the bite.

    confused-smiley-17434.gifSo that was how a 20-something, 15-stone mechanic came to be wandering the corridors of A&E with a super slim ST wrapped around his pinky:rotfl:

    ROFL!!! :rotfl: Almost spit my tea on the keyboard then! I can just picture it!!! :rotfl:

    When I was a Girl Guide we were told that Sanitary Towels made excellent emergency dressings as they were absorbent and sterile.

    And when Mr Crispy sliced his finger open (trying to remove a tealight from a holder with a large knife :confused:), I didn't have anything to put on it. So I cut the string off a tampon and used the tampon to make a dressing.

    See, that Girl Guide stuff comes in very handy.
