In my case, scraps of paper I've scribbled on years ago, letters I've written and never sent, ditto Christmas cards, old make up, old clothes that don't fit and the cat has been sitting on anyway (!!)  BTW Mr G Duchess sends her love.

Oh yes Margaret, having all those babies must have been awful for them.

I agree - can you imagine!  Also, losing some of your children, which a lot of mothers did- the heart break that they must have felt.

 So, I will add - immunisations.

When I used to visit Cobh, Ireland in the early 1960s as a kid I can remenber using an outside toilet. That used to be emptied down a hole when the tide went out. And going to get drinking water from a pump in the road. So it wasn't just our ancestors who went without.

Your right Leytone, there are millions of people in the world today who are living in far worse conditions than most of our ancestors ever did.

It really is a travesty  >:( :'(
