mumoffour77, eczema is an auto immune reaction, try websites like http://www.netdoctor.co.uk/skin_hair/skin_immune_system_003741.htm http://www.familydoctor.co.uk/htdocs/eczema/eczema_specimen.html and like pigpen said ask them as much as you need to know. My little sister used to call one of the doctors Charlie the Bat, even drew him bat pictures :rotfl: kids are so brave.

ladybirdintheuk - you have pigpen's unique approach to the English language to thank for 'dog shelf' - it's where you keep the dog of course - the floor!!!It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0
-
pigpen - if I lived nearer, I'd be round. I nursed DD through a nasty kidney infection last autumn, so realise how rough you must be feeling. Very concerned about you, please take care.
Love and hugs. (Whether you want them or not)

emily how are things in your house?!?
kids will go to nursery shortly (til noon) - meanwhile i have to pack for us 4 for our sleepover at nannys house (she is already driving me crazy :mad: )
we'll be taking ds for his surprise day out tmrw and since it close to her we decided on a sleepover and take her along. since that place only opens at 10am i suggested to go for breakfast somewhere on route to pass some time - i am sure the monsters will be up at 6am!!! - and what does she do?? buys everything for breakfast at home!! i think i'll just stay in bed and let them do everything and only emerge when it's time to leave :rolleyes::cool:
oh, and i need to clean the whole house yet again because there will be a viewing tmrw (estate agent will show them around)
deeeeeeeeeeeep breath! i am fine ... honest
