I like the smell actually and the flat smelled lovely and clean, like a hospital, which was good as we had a young baby and the health visitor was visiting occasionally, as they did then.

Interesting I seem to have dropped the RSJ off my name somewhere.

Oooooh! TCP. However did you get rid of the smell Ann? I decided TCP in my medicine cabinet would be a useful think to have. I made the mistake of opening the bottle, just to see if if smelt the same as when I was young. Now everytime I open the cabinet all I smell is TCP. Can't get the lid on any tighter.

Jean, it would NEVER have happened if you were NOT in a hurry!
That seems to be law, doesn't it?

Yes, had the egg on the ceiling. Try overcooking poached eggs in the microwave!!!!

Must tell you this one. When we were first married, for some reason OH was going to put TCP on a cut or something, took the top off and was holding it in his left hand. I came through the door and asked him the time!!!!! Yep, he turned his wrist over to look at his watch and emptied the TCP all over the floor, which luckily was tiled.

Try boiling eggs then go into another room and forget them. You will finish up with a yellow blob on the ceiling, when you finally crawl out from under the bed or table or wherever you were hiding from the explosion and go to see what caused it.

You know those puddings in tins that you have to boil.well,if you don't keep the water topped up and the pan boils dry they don't half spread over a wide distance.

At last I can admit that I have done that Mo! (now I know I'm not the only one).
Besides being wet and cold, I've also been very embarrassed, looking round in shame, hoping that noone has seen me, while I try to mop up the milk!
