My bruv was 5 years older than me suppose he picked them up from school and passed them on to me so I would be very young that must be why I can't remember them :-0

My eldest son got mumps one Christmas Eve. We were due to go to my Mum’s for

Christmas Day. I had to rush round the shops getting food for the day. We survived. ;-) ;-)

I can see him now Belle lying in the bed…mum had lit a fire in the room to keep him warm…so am thinking it must have been winter time

I think I was about 11 years old. My sister had it as well. We looked like ghosts the amount of lotion Mum slapped on us. :-D :-D
