I bought ‘plastic’ bandaids and was still allergic to them. Wtf. The pack is open now and I’m not sure if it’s ok to donate the rest.

I bought some basics for that pantry. Some individually wrapped rolls of tp. Individually wrapped multipack soap to split up. Some deodorants that were on special. Baked beans, spaghetti, sardines. Pancake mix. Corn chips. Salsa. Onion soup mix. Stock cubes. Rice, pasta, noodles, oats. Laundry detergent. Tea. Peanut butter. Tomato sauce. Long life milk.

I really wish generic brands were as cheap as they used to be. And I could afford more. But yeah. They’re all homebrand but normal items so I’m not forcing people to eat creamed eels or corn nog.

I need to find those adult colouring books I won’t use. The hoarded toothbrushes and the unopened bag of razors can go as well

Isn’t bandaid allergy annoying?! I used one on my leg and had a red bandaid shape there for ages after the actual injury had healed

Yeah, it’s already infected despite first aid, then dressing it just added to the problem

hugs

it's the glue in the band aids, try buying for sensitive skin and band aids for kids

Yeah it was angrier where the glue went… thanks

I can't do the fabric bandaids or the pink Physio tape unless I put the papery stuff on first. Not deathly by any measure but a mega itch and cannot sleep
