2ndhandrose Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 It's true, we were out on the streets playing from dawn 'til dusk, Sunday night was bath night... the rest of the week it was just a quick wipe around. And clean pants on after bath night, every week... My mum used to sit me on the draining board in the kitchen and wash my hands, face and knees. I hated it when she got the tops of my long white socks wet and I had to go out with them soggy.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grinder Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 (edited) Worse bit was if you got some soap in your eye or up your nose, you then got a gob full of soap when you shouted "hold it"... The times I've nearly swallowed that flannel.... Edited February 8, 2011 by grinder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
