My OH has pointed out I can just stock up on nit treatment, lol. We seem to be getting recurrent waves of them at the school at the moment. Bring back the county-wide Bug Busting weeks!

Val, I agree. The bug-busting weeks were really effective at breaking the cycle when my kids were still at school. You should be able to get nit lotions free of charge if you take in one of the "lodgers" stuck to a piece of paper, part of the minor ailments scheme in Scotland and England. Alternatively the Nitty Gritty comb is great for prevention and cure as it removes lice and eggs, I just gave my kids the once over with it and some conditioner each week as a prevention. It costs a tenner or you can get one on prescription, saves a lot of money and hassle.

whats the policy for returns when they have so many offers ?


ie last weeks OOTW is now back to £99 if its returned for an exchange do they give the reduced rate or the current rate ??

I think they should change their delivery and packing set-up anyway, ive just received a half empty box and another one with 2 satchets in ! total waste.

my doctors won't give you a prescription for it any more...big sign on the Wall saying so too

off topic
last week i brought 3 Elle bags on line and one was for my mum...i thought i would pop it in to her as she works in a shop close to boots...well i walk into boots with the bag and set the security alarms off:eek: going in, i just explained the story to the SA which she was fine about, so beware if you are taking any of these back to have your invoice with you..

Mine neither. I asked why and apparently it's because they should refer you to a pharmacist where you can get lotions for free

Or try this http://www.nittygritty.co.uk/ng/resources/nittygritty_available_on_prescription.pdf

I did that a few weeks ago and got a free pharmacists prescription . Thing is she was only allowed to prescribe from a certain list so I ended up with a chemical treatment called Derbac (sp?) which frankly was a waste of time. I much prefer Hedrin (suffocates them in a shrink-wrap coating of pure silicon or something like that) even though I have to pay for it. I have a nitty gritty comb too, but we do seem to have a permenant infection source in my son's new school.

Might try the Tea Tree shampoo though. Thanks for the tip.

Oooh. Saw loads of those little John Frieda Frizz Ease things. Think yours truly will be using his 5 x blues on them! There was about 25, so don't worry, I won't get them all!

I think someone mentioned the No 7 bathing robe/dressing gown thing. Is that for men too? How much do they cost? Think Dad would be happy with one.

It's a shot in the dark, but if you're Mrs K McIntosh and you left your Advantage Card in the ACM in the Glasgow St Enoch's branch yesterday then fret not. I found your card (with over £100 on it!) and handed it in to a store supervisor. That's my good deed for the week done! :A (PS this is a great thread - I've 'lurked' on here for ages and have now finally popped my MSE cherry...so to speak:rotfl:)

Dandy - that was nice of you to hand it in. I'm sure Mrs McIntosh will be a happy lady to know that her points are safe. Great to have such honest people around.
