Calamine lotion to the rescue... x

OOh that is so sore! I remember the feeling from when I got them! I was ten years old and it was the day Margaret Thatcher became Prime Minster! God I'm old.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Ooo Mum2One so sorry about your holiday.

Btw Aqueous calamine cream is better than the lotion as it sinks in to the skin without leaving the pinky white blotches behind also, add Bicarb of soda to her bath and it will help to prevent itching as well as drying up the spots much quicker :T (can you tell that all 3 of mine have had it?)

I'm sure you'll find lots to do over the hols with Miss Hoodie.

I'm glad you will get your money back - are you going to attempt to book another holiday later in the year or will you wait for your big one next year?

lol at the tooth - DS lost both his top front teeth a week apart and he has another wobbly one - it's costing the tooth fairy a fortune at the moment at £1 a go :rotfl:

We're going to Wales and Devon main school holidays, just to expensive to book then,as its just the 2 of us, she rephase me, has to pay adult rate for her. I doubt were get anything in this yr, tied up with Open Uni to November, then she starts KS2, or juniors as it use to be in my time and they frown on you taking them out.
Most prob see if we can do something nxt yr, feb half term, find somewhere hot for me!!

We've got another wobbly teeth, this tooth fairy lark gets expensive, esp as her 1st one cost me £10...x

Blimey £10 for a tooth lol. Glad our tooth fairy wasnt that generous.

Had email from Quidco saying they have paid me 2p this month lol. I used to have ti set to pay once it gets over a fiver but it was taking ages to mount up last time so I changed it to pay whatever is in there.

Went to New Look to buy myself a top. Couldnt find the mag Martin talks about with the voucher but found a nice top anyway, then while I was queueing (that doesnt look right) my friend spotted a sales rail and I found two more tops on there in my size so ended up paying bit extra (!) Still I now have some nice tops to wear once the weather gets a bit better.

Haave nearly reached payout on Dooyoo again. Should get there today I hope so will be able to claim my next voucher.

Jammie, I thought you had set a challenge then - I only remembered it was the first when I saw your post.

I completed March's challenge.

Can anyone come up with any ideas for this month? I need to get back into dooyoo too. We could try the £20 this month again, but that might be a bit much with the kids off for two weeks, so how about £10 or £15?

Off the subject - I haven't managed to April fool the kids as they already at school. I'm so bad at this April fool stuff, I only manage to trick the little 'uns, and then they wonder what on earth you're going on about.

The tooth fairy by us gives £5 each. :eek:
