I remember bath night Sunday, eeewk cant imagine only bathing once a week, my young brother was first in, then my older sister and I together then Mum and Dad, yuck makes me shudder now when I think of it.

My sister and I used to go to Sunday school just to get out of doing the vegies for roast lunch, we had a great garden up the back and I loved digging the spuds, picking the peas and corn, I would love a vegie garden now, I miss it.

We had bantums and got lots of little eggs daily

We didn't have hot water, only a 'chip heater', which was a wood fired water heater....I remember I used to bring a large bucket of wood chips into the bathroom and continue to feed the fire and then run MORE hot water into the bath as it cooled down...could be there for an hour!   lol till I went all wrinkley.

Lol Keni can remember the old chip heater and you would gather the chips from the timber that had been split to feed the fireplaces......can remember when a little older having to bring in all the timber for the fires as well......living room had 2 fireplaces:)

I've had open fireplaces since I was born....except for the last 8 years...I do miss them..

You got that right Keni just a marvellous place to gather around on a wet or dreary day read a book have a coffee or a nice sleep........a lot of people say they are a lot of work but personally i find them to be the centre of the family home

Gorgeous rain down here this arvo:)

I remember bath night Sunday, eeewk cant imagine only bathing once a week,

However, they did cloth wash thoroughly all over every day...and were always clean.  No deodorants, but they used talcum powder.

New subject.  I remember when the fisherman used  handnets on the northern beaches.  Any kid that helped them pull in the nets to the beach got as much fresh fish as they could carry to take home.
