For us, the cure to all problems (particularly of the physical kind) was "amputation at the neck" - sure puts a splinter into perspective!  My Grandma also had a "tear cup" which lurked in the back of a cupboard and whenever I was indulging in "crocodile tears" out it would come and I would be asked to cry into it because tears were good for nanna's complexion!

Gwynydd - who has never found that the latter rememdy worked on her own daughter (perhaps you need to be a Grandma!)
