    or this, I have used it, its brill;)

    you can find an unperfumed Mitchum in some places as well :cool:

    These are antiperspirants rather than just deodourants though and as such contain aluminium which has been linked with Alzheimers/dementia.. I use mitchum stuff too, but just feel for a 5 year old they are pretty aggressive. Something that is meant to be used every 2 days.. though why it would last that long when you should be getting washed daily if you sweat enough to need this is beyond me.. must be pretty harsh on the old skin

    Thanks jinky



    I do bath him:o but he had an all over wash this morning and then he's been to the playscheme running around for a couple of hours and he's wiffy. I was thinking that after he's been running around at playtime and dinnertime and had a PE lesson, nobody's going to want to sit by him in the afternoon:o.

    LMAO... I didn't think for a moment you didn't.. I don't bath mine.. I take them to my mothers and her dogs lick them.

    The chances of the other children noticing are very slim.. and if they did, he can say he has something not quite right with his chemicals and he sees a doctor about it and pass on more information.

    As I said to you before there was a girl in DD2's class who had the same and she wasn't ever thought of as any different to the other children, they all understood what was wrong and why she was 2ft taller than them, has breasts at 5 and was occasionally a little 'warm'.. Just keep the channels of communiccation open.. could he have a wet flannel in a tub or ziplock bag with a little tea tree on to wipe himself with after games??

  • Well on day 1 I have done loads but it seems like I haven't done much at all!

    Because I have started mid week I thought I would try to do as much as I could (well whats possible with a 3 year old trying to help anyway lol!)

    Kitchen
    - I found a large window ledge which is now empty and clean! I even managed to clean the windows inside!
    - I also emptied my pot cupboard, cleaned it, washed all the dusty pots and then put them back in!
    - I put 1 load of washing on and put away all the clean towels.
    - I emptied the over full bin and powerwashed it lol
    Living Room
    - Put all the shoes away
    - Cleaned the tv screen
    Bathroom and Toilet
    - Cleaned toilet, sink and bath
    - Emptied bin, just need to wash it

    Will that do for today lol

    I also decided to take before and after shots which will be placed on fridge whenever I feel like slacking lol

    Drum roll please..........................

    Miss A's room is finished :D



    Still too much clutter and the window sill has not been sorted but I am chuffed with the results. I must have got rid of two binbags of rubbish, 1 bag or plastic/paper for recycling. The floor has been hoovered and contents of drawers sorted as well. Once Miss A returns I shall get her to sort through her soft toys as there as an avalanche when I opened the cupboard to put a few more in :rotfl:

    When I get back from hols I need to get rid o the large box of ebay/freecycle stuff that is still in there.

    W's room still needs doing but it is not as bad, reckon I should be able to do the majority in an hour or so.

    It has been so warm today I was tempted to do a bit and leave the rest but really pleased I didn't. Reckon I have earned my cool Stella tonight.
