MN bathroom cabinet essentials

[bakedpotatohoho]

Let's fill this with all the stuff you'll really need at some point (usually in the middle of the night)

First nomination: Eurax cream. Amazing stuff for stopping chickenpox itching

Cough Medcine
Plasters
Pile cream
Canesten
Painkillers

dioralyte
tcp
tixylix

calendula cream - soothing/healing (magic on eg paper cuts and those scabby cracks you can get around ears)

Medised
Calpol
Seri Strips
Hypercal cream (similar to Jan's calendula)
Kamillosan (great for dry skin patches!)

Arnica cream for bumps and bruises

OOh Janh I'm off to get some of that - I get those scabby cracks!

indigestion remedy.

milk of magnesia to settle upset tummies

Scissors -we've a small sharp pair and a hairdressing pair in the bathroom and they get used loads. Today for example:

cut tags off new clothes
trimmed DDs fringe
cut a plaster down to size for DS

Tweezers for splinters.

In theory we always have a pair of scissors in the bathroom but they go walkabout

Oh, the other day I bought a little bottle of "Master Plaster Antiseptic Spray, sterile, hygienic and easy to use" - about £1 from the local factory shop place - haven't needed to test it yet but it appears to be meant for gentle cleaning of scrapes etc without having to rub which sounds like a fine idea.

Eosine.

Red liquid that you can buy in France. It disinfects and dries at the same time, and is magic for chicken pox. dd2 recently had a burn on her finger, that didnt make a scab for 2 days. After I washed it with eosine, it scabbed immediately.

Rescue remedy
Arnica

Metanium for sore little bums.

Electric vaporiser and loads of refill pads for stuffed up noses at night (bliss!).
