Antidote


About 2 hrs ,. ago I was stung by a wasp on the thick part of my thumb , it is still throbbing , even my thumb nail is painful . I rang bluebell to enquire what to put on it ( she was stung a couple of days ago ) . she was so kind saying  , that will teach you to garden without gloves on .

 My son spent a few days with me last week . He painted my kitchen dresser , and my kitchen , cleaned the fascia boards outside , and spread  a ton of pea gravel on my front garden to top up the exsisting lot , I have 1 wall blue , 1wall pale green and 2 walls yellow in the kitchen , it was previously all white . Thank you Peter .

I put vinegar on the wasp sting , I wish I had some chocolate to eat .

Bluebell took me to our machine man after we had been sewing . All fixed again now . Best sewing machine repair man in the business . Supreme sewing machines , Leicester . Thank you Steve

You poor thing! I'm terrified of bees.
My mother-in-law says, Bleach is the best thing for stings. Dip a napkin in bleach and hold it on the sting. Hubby says it works, too.

Hope your thumb is muchly better.

Let us know if the vinegar helps, I'm sorry about the sting. Sounds like your kitchen will be a cheery greeting in the morning sun ~

Your kitchen sounds lovely and colourful.
Vinegar is what we use for all stings.

Thank you one and all .
Yes Chris , I did put vinegar on after looking on the internet . It worked for a while, perhaps I need the bottle hooking up like when you are in hospital.
I can just hear bluebell saying , Such a wimp .

ouch, I know how that hurts but I over react and the sting swells massively. had to have my wedding ring cut off once as the finger swelled so quickly and also stung as a teenager whilst playing hockey, leg still slightly bigger than then other and I am now 66. Fortunately only been sting twice, this is the time of year when they are more likely to sting so be careful.
How good it must be to have a son to help with the decorating, if he is passing through Leeds I have a house that needs some doing!!
