    Afternoon all, I cant believe its Friday afternoon already!!:j

    At a bit of a loose end now the in laws are back off their hols, I'm back home, no dog to walk, no dishes to wash or cleaning up after bf to do, its strange how quickly I became domesticated!!

    Signed myself up for a few extra hours at work for the next couple of weeks, might pick up a few more when I'm next in on Monday if theres still any going.

    Spoke to my boss at my other job and he's putting through my holiday pay since I've only had one shift this month (I hate August there!:mad:)

    Paid my Visa bill yesterday in full :T but have put £40 petrol on it today, which I shall again pay in full when the bill comes in :A I'm trying to be disciplined with it and mend my bad ways.

  • I've had too many 'sick' days and not many holiday days left. Ah well.

    Arggggh! I wish the uni had told me when they changed my offer from a plain 240 points to faffing about with dividing it up. I've already got 150 points at AS (60 get disregarded as I carried the subject to A2) and I just got my BTEC NA certificate (Distinction) which is another 120 so I more than meet their offer. But then they tell me I have to have 200 points at A-level standard, which I've got! I beat their offer and I'm bloody tempted to phone my insurance and take that place instead!

    That is annoying! Hope you can get it sorted.

    Dont think anitbiotics would help Sally unless its infected from sratching - you need something to remove the allergic reaction such as a strong hydrocortisone cream and some antihistamine tablets...

    I had one on my back last week that got HUGE!! It was nasty :(

    Have been putting antihistamine cream on it already and it hasn't done anything, its red, hot and very very inflammed.

    Bet it was painful on your back...mine you hobbling is a challenge too :(

    Do you have any hydrocortisone?? Thats usually quicker - takes about a day to show really though...if you get a chance you could pop into a pharmacy tomorrow and they will tell you whats best :D
