    Weeee the man just been and paid for the phone i sold one ebay, he prob spent more in petrol than the P&P but it saved me paypal fees :D

    So i'm gonna go to Matalan and have a looksee at some 6-9 clothes. I've been buying some on eBay too and was particularly happy to buy this lovely outfit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250650734593&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT seeing as they've got them all on BIN for £6!

    I've got 764 eBay plus points, that means i've spent that many pounds recently :eek: (includes the Quinny and Apple though!)

    If it is spreading or very sore I'd say take her back to the GP and demand a referral to dermatology.. they may offer allergy testing.. is it cracked and bleeding? If so I can highly recommend wet wrapping her at bedtime.. gallons of (free on prescription) aqueous cream and cottom bandages. I had the most awful eczema as a baby and spent half my early years mummified.

    A sundress is a good idea as the sun usually helps clear it up.. just a few minutes a couple of times a day works wonders on my daughters and mine.. it means shedding my cardy but in the privacy of my garden I can do that for a few minutes!

    Its not cracked or bleeding, it doesn't get a chance with the amount of the gel i cover her in. At the moment he wants us to use doublebase, i do have oilatum. But we have to try this first he says :)

    It sometimes seems to be bothering her, but after i gel her she seems more relieved. I think the coolness of it calms it down.
  • How long have you been using the gel for EA? I would give anything a good week before moving on to something else, unless Lily is clearly in pain or discomfort.

    I think that this is a good mantra for motherhood actually, give it a week and everything will change...and if it doesn't then do something about it :D

    Its been over a week now, i think.

    I know it was a Friday we went, and she had it last thursday when we were at ILs. So maybe the Friday before :o I have the worst memory :rotfl:

    We were using the Oilatum for a few days before that though.

    She has just thrown her toy sheep across the room, behind her! :eek:
    I dont think she wanted that one :rotfl: She is happily chewing and shaking her toy cow though :)

    Meant to say are you paranoid about getting 'outed' on here at work?? Is that why you've changed your siggy? Or just fancy a change?

    Yep :o

    I did post about it when Fitzio mentioned the absence of my avvy.

    Just asked for the Job Desc for that higher band job - got it, it's the perfect job but it only went out Internally within that Organisation as they have a large amount of at risk staff. But I know for a fact that no-one over there meets all the essentials so am hoping it goes out Externally especially as the Head of the Dept as said it's a shame she can't put it out externally for me!!

    Random post!

    I can smell cat wee! It's there all of the time, i'm starting to worry it might be me although OH and the children haven't complained. :o

    And no, I haven't got a cat, I hate the little b's! :p

    I have had a metallic taste in my mouth for weeks now - it is starting to really pee me off.
