    Is the whole Dorset cereal range reduced in Waitrose? I have the jumbo raisin one with yoghurt for breakfast:D

    I only was looking for the kids one but I am popping in there tomorrow so I'll have a look for you and let you know. Hope you feel better soon and you are right to rant - that is really low about the DVDs

    PP - that AB is a common one to give for skin infections - being nosey which cream has she prescribed? Yes send him to school with it well covered - melolin dressings are good or even better the hydrocolloid ones, they are expensive but do work. Just been readin about ABs and it would be wise to give him some friendly bacteria - capsules or powder from the chemist or some of the yoghurts - ask the pharmacist for advise

    I must move - just been browsing.

    Dustkitten- The slip says hydrogen peroxide lipid cream (I thought that was for dyeing your hair!) I presume it is just to clean the wound:confused:

    Still going but thought I'd pop back for a quick break. So far I have found 4 dirty polo shirts in amongst her toys - no wonder I had to buy her new ones a fortnight ago because she seemed to have lost most of them!

    I've been using white vinegar diluted 50/50 with tap water to spray down the kitchen surfaces.

    I also use supermarkets own "Milton" on worksurfaces, inside fridge, etc. I think the dilution is 1 teasp to 1 pint water. I like the clean "bleach" smell.

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

    Do you ever have days where everything you touch goes wrong?

    Over the last week I have been painstakingly typing out the labels for the new class books for next year. I have been to get the stickers to put them on today and when I have gone to print them, it's all gone to c*ck. I used an existing word file from last year and copied and pasted various bits. When I have gone to print, all this writing has appeared over the top of the labels which I presume is hidden coloums in the table.

    I really do not feel like re-typing them all from scratch. God I'm turning into a moaning minnie today
