@sunnyday Oh i can imagine. Thankfully we only did them once a week. I hated it then & still do now.
I loved Sunday nigh when it was bath night I renter having to literally be dragged out of the bath & the fuss Mon-Sat getting that flannel wash at the sink . After my Sunday 4pm Bath I was given a large tablespoon of Castor oil only on a Sunday . Never knew why apart from it will do you good 
. Looking at what I call my walk-in Chemist the medication I’m now on owing to this stroke . I remember getting for the scrapes/bumps all kids back then received in play, was given Gention Violet that purple solution dabbed on with a cotton wool the small , turning my war wound purple

Winter of 62/63 frozen up from Boxing Day till late March? Makes me laugh when over the years it’s been claimed this is the coldest winter after a few weeks of a few frosty nights

I remember seeing the QE2 setting off from Southampton on one of it’s early voyages in summer 1966. We were down there stopping in a holiday caravan near Christchurch.

Ohhh yes, lovely toast when done over the open fire, plus my dad used to get herrings and do them over the fire I loved that smell …also boiled the kettle on a little thing which went over the fire to hold the kettle … I am 77 … so many changes since then … but I love technology, got that from my dad who used to repair radios,then later TVs and when he was a prisoner of war in WWII he actually made a radio in the camp … it’s great to look back and remember what it was to be a child just after the war, but just as good to look forward …born and brought up in Great Yarmouth till I left to join the army then met and married a soldier from the North East near Durham/Sunderland where I have lived for long time … still miss home at times… Val x

I had an uncle who always boiled his kettle that way, even his meals, in fact he never really converted to modern appliances, couldn’t see the point, just another way to waste money he said

Hi Tricia, have to admit I never feel my age … but the body isn’t good. Arthritis and spinal probs mean I can just about walk up the garden path, my body and joints are much older than my brain 
… and I get a shock when I look in a mirror and think who on earth is that old woman … my old mum was the same. She used to say she might be nearing 90 but inside she was still 18 … wish I could walk as far as you so well done
