Where do you store yours?
Just interested.

Pick where you keep MOST of your medicines, or where you keep normal ones (not personalised).

    Kitchen, along with the first aid kit. Probably more likely to have an accident in the kitchen, and it's the ideal place to sit a crying child on the worktop to repair a grazed knee (bottoms on worktops aren't normally allowed so this helps cheer up the little darling).

    I do also have some painkillers and my own antihistamines in the bedroom for during the night/first thing in the morning.

    Neither. Mine are in the bedroom with the odd pack of painkillers in the sitting room.

    The dog's are in the kitchen though - handy for chucking in his food.
    All shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.

    Pedant alert - it's could have, not could of.

    No option for both? We have some in the kitchen and some in the bathroom.
