    JAM thats great news about your brother - and you sound happier - I am soo glad. Now we have to work on your confidence and self esteem - have you looked in the library for any of the books mentioned yet? Sorry but I am a bit of a nag and I do so want you to feel better!! Life becomes easier to handle when you feel better about yourself - believe me!!!

    Thank God its not just me! I have 5 massive bites on my bum! I am allergic to such bites and so have been taking peratin (sp?) every morning cuz I want to scratch my !!! off, (literally)

    DH said that he thought I had flees as I couldn't possibly get mossy bits in Ireland!!

    I have 3 bites on my ankle and I so know what you mean about the scratching. Like you I can get terrible reactions - last couple of summers I've had my ankle/foot swell so badly I cannot walk. Fortunately I find it funny (the emergency doctor didn't when I was forced to go!) I am very good at hopping.

    Do you find the avon stuff works? I get bitten more if we are on holiday but get the worse reactions when bitten at home. Off to bed now on a wing and a prayer - OH never gets bitten in bed as I am his insect repellant:rotfl:

    Evening all, haven't managed to get anything done again, had a really late night at work so didn't get in until 9ish.

    However yet again my lovely DD has tidied up and hung out washing and done washing all without being asked. What a sweetie.

    So friday tomorrow and hopefully I'll get something done.:D

    Well it seems I can't be bothered today!

    I have:
    walked the dogs
    gone to the gym
    bought a couple of chrissy pressies (and choccy for me, so that blows away the gym!!)

    That's it.

    Don't think this afternoon will be any better either.
