What if my teeth are in a jar beside my bed in the morning? Are you serious?

I have tried this bizarre one when my child picked one up swimming and it does work:


for a verucca, cut an inch square of banana skin, place it inner side down on affected spot, tape in position and put on sock. Do this overnight for 2/3 nights and it disappears.

That's interesting. I once read that Madonna used wee wee on her feet to get rid of athletes foot. That reminds me I had a friend who used to drink it. Can't remember why though. He seemed to think it did him some good.

Reclan for a sty the best thing is a good rest. You should prob take a few long lie ins at your ungrateful employers expense and get yourself right also a trip to the opticians might be a good idea as sounds like your eyes are tired.no wives tales there I'm afraid. I did once have a growth on my finger when a lad and a seventh son of a seventh son fron derry wiped an old Copper 2p on it and it was gone a couple of days later which amazed me as I felt it had been there for a year. .

Your TONGUE love (deaf is she.....)scrape y'tongue....can't keep the in glass with your "Staradent" can you?


Feck Declan what a picture that conjures up, you no teeth & your tongue in a jar & with a stye on your eye.


You sound like a real catch you do......yeah!


Do you have a prosetic limb for a full house?

Tansy as a compress is good for sties, you can also apply castor oil, put some on a piece of cotton wool then wipe over your eye before going to sleep, dont worry about it going into your eyes, it did used to be prescribed and the last time I looked it was still in the BFN (British national formula, docs book. I have used this many times and it works even when people sceptical.
The golden eye ointment reetpetite has mentioned, I think is golden seal, another brilliant herb which has amazing healing properties, but expensive. Also euphrasia, commonly called eyebright. With it being near your eye I would not recommend my dads cure of tying thread around skin tags which then fall of, then seemingly if you bury it, it wont come back.

Where can one buy castor oil Antijen?

I'm not sure too many of these sound sensible.


A stye (not stie) is a blocked eyelid oil gland that has become infected.


Rubbing anything into it that is likely increase the blockage or spread the infection is ill-advised.


In extreme cases antibiotics applied topically or by pill may be necessary.


Usually they should go within a week, and can be eased using a warm damp facecloth pressed against it a few times a day - it'll ease the blockage.


Lancing it or squeezing it yourself may increase the infection (think of zits that you've poked at too much), and is very risky in this area.


If it's not gone in a week, then see someone professional.

I used to use Golden Eye Ointment years ago; it got rid of conjunctivitis.

Now I use a little bicarbonate of soda in filtered water and use that to rinse my eyes.


I had some fungal infection under my nail once and used to pour a drip of tea tree oil down it every night, and it went after a month. It probably would not have done otherwise!


Meanwhile to fight off hay fever, eating honey from local bee hives works.

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
