first aid kit - essential items please

[mrsflux]

ds is officially a walker and with that comes bumps and falls outside.

i've realised our first aid kit is woefully inadequate so what are the essential items in yours

a) at home

b) out and about/ on holiday

cheers

ps hopefully i won't need it as i'm a rubbish first aider!

I have:
Plasters(latex free)
antibac wipes
savlon
antihisomines(sp?)
dressings of veirious sizes
triangluar bandage and saftey pins
calpol
micropore tape
and a packet of chocolate buttons

Most of the above, but not very organised, and need to go and get some chocolate buttons

Most used item is Mr Bump who lives in the fridge

Nessarose, have started a new thread on the MN first aid topic here ; sounds like they're working on it

The only extra thing you need when they are walking and bumping into things is a decent arnica gel. You'll be suprised how good a job in does of reducing swelling and bruising if you lather it on after a bad bump.
