PongRiddims Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 If I'm trying to fill a bath by boiling water on the hob, is it better to boil it in a quicker but smaller saucepan and do more trips or a larger but slower one and do less trips? Genuine question. Kettle comes into play later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not up to that bit yet, have you considered running the tap? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I wouldn't bother filling the bath, when it happened to me I just boiled the kettle to make a sinkfull and rinsed around the key areas. The boiler got fixed pretty quick though so I wasn't too minging. You could just man up and have a cold shower, it is summer after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brothers just been discharged from his second six month admission, it's incredibly difficult to watch but there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

I'm assuming the codeine was from Cocodamol? The only reason I ask is that I had a (relatively mild by comparison) addiction to them a few years ago after a couple of operations in a row got me hooked, and that took me a while to break. Fingers crossed for your brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed for your brother. Thanks everyone for the kind words It was straight codeine originally for a back injury. Dr prescribed 100 or so pills and then repeated and he's been hooked ever since. He basically rotted his insides having taken it with ibuprofen (neurofen plus) up to 100 tabs at a time for a few years....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted August 18, 2015 Moderator Share Posted August 18, 2015 Addiction from prescription makes it sadder because it wasn't the person who went looking for it. It found them instead and they were probably caught unawares. As I always say, we can only hope he beats the odds and pulls through. People do from time to time y'know.
