    Tum tee tum!!!

    Waiting for my kitchen floor to dry. I've left me microfibre cloths and star drops in there. Oh what a shame!

    DH and DS are doing a good job of telling each other how carp each is at building stuff. It's quite entertaining listening to it actually!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Yes it does work.. they come out clean! lol

    Assuming she has the chickens.. then she would be fine having a bath whether covered in spots or not.. a bath with oats in dries them and stops them itching.. esp if you add bicarb.. I hope you haven't left her smelly just cos she has dots?!..

    Bathing a non-infested child with an infested child is great.. spreads like wild fire in the tub!

    Your right they do get forgotten. No one is allowed to give DD a joint Christmas and birthday present. It has to be seperate and in birthday wrapping paper as well.

    People had the nerve to send christmas cards & put 'oh & Happy Birthday to DS as well' as if he was an afterthought, used to upset me when he was little because he didn't understand why they couldn't be bothered with him.

    Parties were another issue because people were always busy or going away, so it either had to be a week before or a week after. And try finding 'age' birthday cards in December, they put them all away for the xmas ones:mad:

    Sorry that turned into a bit of a whinge....just to add now he is grown up he isn't bothered by it......he is old enough to remind people:rotfl:

    what i meant was will it help make her sleepy?!!!! she is not itching much now and scabs are falling off!!!
    and no she is not smelly(unless she has been on the sprouts!!!), she has been having a bath with simple soap(pretty much like me(the soap, not the sprouts!))

    toochoosey the lavender may actually help them heal as it's a natural antiseptic - it's one of the only essential oils that you can use neat on skin. I use it for adult spots and it really soothes them.

    Just read your post - yes it should help her to sleep too - they put lavender in massage oils to help aid relaxation in adults.
