    oh TMD... nightmare... when child #1 had it he gave it to me.. years ago... was nightmare..

    funny though there was one girl in his class who had headlice for the whole of primary school.. the mothers would all treat their kids and this 1 girl wouldnt get treated. even several years after they have finished primary .. this girl is famour for her head lice.. i think they got soo big that you could see them waving their little feelers from about 6 foot away!

    good luckX

    That is funny, poor girl, how could her mother not treat her hair. I remember I had them twice as a kid and my mum used to use Derbac shampoo, it used to smell awful. Got to go and hunt out the nitty gritty comb now and don't know where it is (typical), took it to my mum's when we went in Feb and can't remember where I put it when we got back.

    OH just said DD3 has got 3 in her hair so will give her a bath in a minute and smother her head in conditioner.

    just been listing on both personal ebay and ebay shop.

    actually been listing some really nice spring-like products which on a nice day like today really make me think spring is not far away. funny how when the stock turns up and we open the boxes the stuff all looks so lovely and some of the packaging is really sweet! makes me want to buy my own products!

    we are experimenting in outdoor games as well and some growing pots for indoor gardeners. very exciting!

    so how was everyones Friday so far? im really tired its been another long week. i think i have gotten over my bank disappointment and tomorrow we are putting OH car on autotrader. well its not needed to so .. wont miss it but it will pay off one big loan and maybe give us a tiny bit of cash and will mean we will save 500 a month!

    more listing on ebay over the weekend - lots of watchers now. fingers crossed.
    learnt loads about twitter and we have 38 followers on twitter now.. .not bad. plus our facebook group is growing... think we need more members from all over the globe ... then we can go global! if anyone wants to join let me know!

    xx

    So glad you are sounding more upbeat and it's a really positive thing to do putting the car up for sale. We don't really NEED two cars but I am scared of getting rid of one just incase :cool:

    You're doing brilliant on ebay, obvious your natural talent :)
