    can you tell I'm bored and sitting here refreshing!?

    Want to come over and help with my garden :D In fact, the invitation is extended to all flyladies who need to get out and get some aggression out of the system. There's a huge bed that needs compost and sharp sand digging into it, then all the plants from the back garden need to be cut back, dug up, labelled and heeled in to the front, and all the bulbs need to be dug out and put into crates before being planted up in pots.

    And the weather is filthy. My parents have just gone off to the garden centre for more sand and to exchange the waterproof marker that didn't work... and buy a newspaper as a. they need one to read and b. we need to put it down in the utility room as it's so muddy.

    Anyway, we're making progress despite the weather.

    Hugs all round - lots of people having a tough time at the moment.

    Toots - I don't know what you're cleaning your wound with, but when my belly button piercing was infected :o my dad gave me saline solution to clean it with, as it is recommended for puncture wounds. My dentist also recommended diluted milton fluid for infected wisdom teeth and it worked on my belly button (surprisingly it's happened more than once) and ears. But obviously check with a qualified professional. If what your doing isn't working then they need to rethink.
