Flippin 'ell how awful James. Very scary for you as a child I'd imagine  

And don't forget rubbing butter or margarine on a head bump 

But as for the other stuff, blimey that must have been a massive shock.

WHAT????????

HOLY CRAP poor Master Cinds has grown up thinking he is a really bad child when year after year Father Christmas missed our house.

Well in the last 10 minutes I am shocked to discover that Elmlea are cheating us out of 2 fl oz of double cream in their 10 fl oz tubs.  I am making salted caramels and needed 8 fl oz of double cream. I emptied the whole tub in to my jug and here's the result.  

PMSL  my brother told me that it was Mr Arsonist that started all the fires and If I heard that there had been a fire I'd say Mr Arsonist is at it again 

My mum used to put butter on everything, my brother got tackled playing football on the park one Sunday dinner time and his mates had to carry him home, he was screaming in agony and my mum decided it needed butter, when my dad got home from the pub a few hours later, my brother was nearly passing out with the pain, he said you silly cow can't you see the bone sticking up through the skin  a week later she fell down the step and you guessed it put butter on it, when the ambulance came to take my brother in for a new plaster.the driver asked her why she was hobbling, shown him her foot and yes she'd broke, dad was not impressed  our house was great fun for the next 6 weeks for me the skivvy 

I always remember seeing someone who had scalded themselves and then coated the burn in honey because their granny had told them it was a good cure for scalds. 

Needless to say, it was not a pretty sight

I have just been shocked to discover that prawn crackers are actually made with prawns.  I just thought it was because they smelt of prawns  I seriously didn't think they were made with the things 

That buying Lynx body spray and applying it as instructed does not have hoards of beautiful women flinging themselves at me. 

Lynx is disgusting.  I hate when people around me are wearing it.

That sounded quite pompous  I just HATE it that much though

Could be why I'm having no luck whatsoever - women hate it 

TBF I actually buy Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue and spray myself with it for work and day wear.

Issey Miyake for men is theeeeeee best scent.  

Honestly Sprout, sometimes I wonder if my lights are fully on!

You're not the only one   

(Pam)if you want   

I was shocked to discover, at about 16 years, that an 'emergen eater' was an immersion heater. I thought it was for emergencies when the hot water had run out, thanks to my dad's Northern accent

I'm with you there Ells, and Kenzo Air, (v similar but just about impossible to get now)

I did the Issey Miyake thing years ago and decided to change to something else as a lot of people smelt of IM and I wanted to be different.

I chose light blue by taking a series of testers into work and asking women to eliminate the ones they don't like. LB came out the top for a daytime smelly.

What made you...
