    Is it a large burn???

    If not go to the chemist and ask for their suggestions, I used to work in a very busy chippy, and we all got burns one of my burns was so bad i had to get a jab in the hospital!!! They gave me flammazine (sp) it went on for 2 days then back to work, the heat of the pans used to irritate the burns and i found it helpful just to let the air at it!!

    The chemist may suggest a meapore dressing!! Or follow sexymouse's advice!!

    I was going to say get a big meopore dressing too - to protect it and help it to form a scab. It needs to be as dry as possible - infection can get in if it stays wet. Keep an eye on it for colour changes - I'd pop to the chemist and ask the pharmacist to take a look.

    Pigpen I love your comments!!! Making me chuckle out loud!

    A bit different, sort of - I only have two, but I have a girl and a boy......when they were babies, people would stop me in the street or in the supermarket and say "ooh, one of each......how clever of you".

    Now, I don't actually recall sitting a test or winning a competition.........:rolleyes:


    Ah well.. I went one better.. being talented and all!!

    I had a boy.. then a girl.. then a boy then a girl... then another boy (after which I SWORE no more boys!!!) then another girl... then I got pregnant again and won £50 on that bet.. another girl.. not a boy.. I SAID no more boys.. and after her I had another girl.. see.. no more boys!! lol

    So.. at one point I had 3 boys and 3 girls.. then had 2 more girls cos they are lovely! :D

    Shopping has been delivered now and nearly all put away. Just got the toiletries etc sitting on the stairs until I can be bothered to go up. Nearly time to start cooking too.

    Just picked up DH from the A & E. He has prostatitis....never heard of it but he's been signed off for 2 weeks and has a load of antibiotocs..
    I think I'm going to have to cancel my mystery shops, though cause I think he is going to be in bed all day and I can't take the children..I'm struggling to make the final decision, though cause I could do with the money???

    I would love more children ( I think). In fact....anyway that's another story.

    I want someone to ask me if I know whats causing it so I can say 'lots and lots of sex!'

    Anyway, I'm going to get back to my list....
