    I'm sure one of you will know... what's petitgrain essential oil for? I must have bought it for a reason, but can't for the life of me remember what it was :confused: Thought it best not to use it until I know :o

    Hello all,
    Just got back from work & must make a start on todays list.
    My thoughts are withh everyone who is having it rough at the moment, especially Jo, Summermoon, Soappie & egon.

    Thanks everyone who sent hugs to me when I mentioned my stress on last weeks thread. DD has been feeling very tearful over the last couple of weeks & walked out of school in tears one day last week. I chatted to her year head on Fri who says he has been very concerned about her rapid mood swings & her snapping at her friends. It's very out of character for her & we're pretty worried. She starts her GCSEs in a couple of weeks, so we're treading on eggshells round her at the moment. I'm trying not to nag about them - she's a smart lass who knows how important they are & doesn't need constantly reminding. We're hoping she'll feel better once the exams are over. There's also a boyfriend in the picture. Poor lass - I wouldn't go through my teens again if you paid me (or offered to clean my house for a year....!)

    ...



    I can totally relate, I had to collect DD1 from school yet again today, asthma attack. Last week its been huge meltdowns, very stressful tto deal with.

    Think most of it is exam stress but took her to Doctor tonight re asthma etc.

    He advised Kalms herbal for my DD's stress and some other stuff re the asthma. I do wish there wasn't so much pressure re these blinking GCSE's. It affects everyone.:(

    Hope your DD feels better soon. Hugs to you too for dealing with it in a caring manner. xx

    Thank goodness it's the kitchen's turn tomorrow. My oven needs a really good clean after OH has cooked sausages, roast beef and roast chicken.

    I would add the extras that I'm planning to do but there are so many I would spend more time listing than I would doing!
