That’s so funny. I was one of six so I was third in the bath after my two elder sisters, my younger sister next followed by two brothers, the bathroom led of the kitchen, what a memory, no traumas just a happy childhood.
The toilet was on an upstairs landing decorated with Elvis film advertisement posters, my father was in charge of the army cinema. Happy days.

I must have had a blessed childhood or a rotten memory
None of that
I do remember being given an eggcup of whiskey to rub on toothache and I remember having scorched legs sitting too close to the fire to get warm I also remember being given newspaper to wrap my sanitary towels in and told to never let Dad see it !! I remember not being alowed to wash my hair or to go swimming when I had a period and I remember longing for a fringe and a wart and never getting either

When she washed his mouth out with soap, I was laughing out loud!

So funny Miss Adventure. Just that element of truth that makes it so.

Ooh yes!
You could feel your skin rolling off...

And scape me dry with a really rough towel. I’m sure there were shards of glass in it!

Then my mum would cut our toenails so short we'd be limping for a week until they grew back a bit...
Poke around in our ears, and clean our fingernails (with a sharp implement)
Happy days! grin
