    I have boxes...different....lots of 'em, went to waitrose and they had all their plastic boxes and lock and seal reduced so I got a few.:D

    So far decluttered 6 make up bags.

    I have 1 with all my make-up in

    One with earphones/chargers in

    One with jewellry in

    One with all my cake liners, foil tins etc in

    One with grated cheese in

    One with flour and cake baking stuff in

    2 have loaves of bread in.

    I've been on a mission to get some of my clutter organised better.

    Quite chuffed with myself.

    I've also made breadcrumbs from the leftover bread and frozen it.

    Made and eaten tea.

    What a flipping day. DS1 has had a rash all weekend, so i booked an appointment today (thought he was allergic to something). DS2 came out of school with same rash. Took both to doctors and they have scabies.:eek: :eek:!!!!!! So both are covered in cream and bed sheets all washed but what else can i do?
    The doctor was useless, i asked about them going to school he said suppose you could keep them off a day. (There really contagious) What should i do about there bedding, he says nothing it won't make a difference.(confused) He only gave me enough cream to do the boys but it says anyone in close contact should use the cream even if they don't show signs of having it. So i'll need to contact the school in the morning, that should be good. Then contact the chemist and make them give me more cream. Rhys is showing signs of having it tonight, then throw in DD has the cold.

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    right.. they are NOT really contagious!! That is a myth! It depends on how much contact there is.

    Bedding.. wash it on a 60' wash.. and their towels.. and flannels/sponges etc

    The first application of cream kills the living bugs.. you reuse the cream to kill the newly hatched bugs not make sure all bugs are dead. So tomorrow there will be no bugs to pass on..

    You don't need to tell the school either really.. they are given messages saying which illnesses have been doing the rounds in their area but other than that it isn't up to you to tell them why they are off.

    If you haven't any more cream then you can use head louse shampoo.. rub it on.. leave it half an hour and wash it off.. gone!
