    Hi everyone,
    Have been looking up old natural remedies for chilblains but have only found 'dipping them in the contents of the chamberpot'. Hmmmm. NOT going to happen, I think I'll try & put up with the itching & burning!! :-) Hey, it's an MSE remedy though.....

    Chilblains are self-healing (NHS link) No remedy required. :)

    Hey gang!

    Well done to those who are sticking on the DFW trail, and huggles to those in need.

    Things I've done today...
    *B/L/D from stores
    *Worked a tiny bit of overtime
    *Done a few surveys (new to survey-ing, getting bored already but persevering!)
    *Found out I'm getting paid about £70 more than I thought, so going to put extra away for my MOT in April!
    *Free exercise by walking @ lunch and walking dogs after work
    *Extra layer instead of heating - hands are freeeeezing though!
    *Shopping list written, going to be doing some recipes from A Girl Called Jack's blog
    *Tweaked budget
    *Checked online banking
    *Stayed in to do homework for my course instead of going out... boring but at least I'm saving the pennies!

    Hope you have lovely evenings!

    @Bobarella. Thanks for the rubber chicken link.....must have a look at that....I do like a bit of a challenge! Cheers.
    2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!
