Heinz Chicken soup, Calpol and the telly
go to grandmas to watch musicals and eat homemade chips. occasionally pop nextdoor to look at her neighbour’s shell collection.
go to nanna’s, if she was working then sit upstairs in the pub with a colouring book, a greggs pasty and free pop. if she wasn’t working, then eat homemade chips, watch reeves and mortimer on vhs and drink hot lemonade with honey in. would always remind my mam to give me calpol to take because nanna bought disprol tablets to have in for all her grandkids and inflicting that upon a child is cruel.
Marmite on toast.
Bananas.
Watching Rupert the Bear cartoons on TV
Being deathly bored.
Nice routine.

shell craft. ornaments made out of shells. she had hundreds of them. wonder what happened to them all after she died.
She’s got chickenpox. On our third viewing of Frozen Fever today already. Shoot me.
Staying in bed, reading books. No idea what I ate, can’t remember
My Mum’s attitude was if you’re well enough to be out of bed you’re well enough to go to school, normally with a packet of Tunes regardless of the illness
Hot milk with nutmeg
I remember one time I was ill and my dad was in charge, he bought me a cream cake and I watched Goldeneye.
Good times.

Turn the sofa in to a bed so I could watch cartoons in the living room. Toast and sandwiches. She even used to give me a bell to ring so she could come help and I didn’t have to yell. Literally never used it. I stayed with her the day after my surgery this summer as well and she gave me the bell again (I was literally bed ridden tbf) but still would never use it. Very sweet gesture though.
