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!!!!!!

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 towel0

iF you get hair colourant stains on your skin, rubbing cigarette ash will get them off. this does work but eeeeeeewwww!
I used to work at a hairdressers where we used "volcanic ash" on clients colourant stains. Volcanic ash my !!!!, it was fag ash from us girls on our smoke breaks!0 -
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.
So 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), 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."Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it. Don't wait for it. Just let it happen. It could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot black coffee."0
