I'm fat, my daughter has nits and I've ran out of money.

Laugh, I could 've cried, Triker. Are you sure we're not related? Or maybe two halves of a split personality?

Seriously, I really really empathise and hope you (and I!!!) get sorted out physically, parasitically and finacially (and psychologically in my case - a self-defeating smiling depressive).
take care

Hey everyone, well what can I say, does a girl good to read all your lovely messages.

The tips for nits are great, although I reckon that if I mixed them all together for maximum strength the concoction of vodka, mayonaise, vinegar and coconut milk might explode and my poor little one's head might get blown off :rotfl:

Or I could have a cocktail and chip n dips night and then put little dollops of everything on my DD' s head, a nice cosy evening in with drinks, and snacks and nit slaughter. Uuummmm.

Well as an update, all's well today and we'll eat tonight as I got paid today. High five or ten four good buddy (ooops gone all CB radio....wanna eyeball....remember that?)

Hubby's had some tests, awaiting results.

Nits, well, they came, they saw, they stuck around for a while, they got nittygrittied, DD went to stay with some friends and they bleedin well came back and brought some friends, nice. Today they have gone again, cue heavy organ music aka Hammer Horror
until.......................................................the next time...............deep laugh.......................hahahaha..........ala Vincent Price.

To be honest it's not the clearing that I have the problem with, it's the constant re-infestation that I know will happen especially when they go back to school.

Me and Natwest have fell out, big time, or rather to be a bit better re the grammer, myself and Natwest ( or Natwest and I) have fell out big time.
Trouble is they don't know as yet so I'm consoling myself with Paddington Bear Hard Stares when I drive past their branches. I just know they're getting the vibe, yeah, be afraid Natwest, grrrrr.

Actually I'm sulking 'cos they won't give me my referral fees back, and I just know I'm on the naughty account holders list, call me paranoid but I can tell.
I 'spect that on the computer screen thingy next to my name is a big black cross and a message ' do not put her through to anyone 'cos she's overdrawn and not invited to any parties or anything'.

My instrument of doom, aka lateral thigh trainer will probably now disintegrate in complete desperation as I also just give it hard stares, it kind of stares back at me in a kind of mocking way but I'll get on (raises voice so it can hear me) when I'm good and ready and not before, alrighty buster. Glad we got that one straightened out.

Although I'm still fat, I have now come to realise that I live on the wrong continent.:rotfl:


That is to say (oops gone all essay writing now), that if I lived on Polynesia or somewhere I'd probably be worshipped as a goddess due to my volumptiousness.
Also I'm having an a kind of obsessive thing going on with roast potatoes at the mo, and I'll fight anyone to the death if they try to take them away from me.:p

Rightio, I'm of to eat my tea, singing 'rejoice, rejoice, for it is payday, joy to the world, tra la la'.:D

Definately try the mayonnaise

I tried all sorts of creams/lotions etc when my daughter had nits, the only thing that FINALLY stopped them was putting loads of cheap conditioner on after washing and combing through then rinsing. I repeated this for a week or two until completed (sorry, can't remember how long, it was a few years ago now!)

Good luck with everything.

Wow, you've been viewed 22188 times so far! Again, can't help with anything but the nits. I like Nice 'n Clear - it treats them and works as a preventative, ie it's a leave in conditioner which keeps them away. Have you tried it? Check out http://www.lice.co.uk/ for info and you can buy it in most chemists. Good luck!

Just a small, but true story about nits:

When my son (now 32) was at school, the school was regularily visited by the dreaded 'Nit Nurse'. Most of the kids lived in fear of her, and her fine comb. The whole class would be inspected, usually in deadly silence, treatments would be administered and the 'Nit-Nurse' would melt away to the next class.
After one inspection my son put his hand up and asked the teacher if they could thank the Nit-Nurse. The whole class gave a rapturous round of applause, and Nit inspections were never the same again.
The Headmaster sent us a letter, thanking my son for 'breaking the ice'.

We still tease him about it even now.:)

I can dig that, I used to genuinely enjoy the nit nurse visits as I found the searching quite pleasant in a head massage kind of way. Please dont tell me I was the only one!

Anyway I think I'm going to have to stop reading this thread, I've already got a 2 year old and have another one of some description due to make an appearance any day now (infact wife has just announced that shes having some painful contractions tonight - cross fingers its practice ones)! And all this talk of nit infestations is freaking me out.

I accept they are a fact of life, but I had no idea they could be so persistant. I'm finding all these horror stories a little discomforting. Can someone lie to me and say it aint so, that its all been a ruse to make Triker feel better. Please! Anyone! I want to get back to my cosy ignorance!

Nit's aren't just for christmas, they're for life

:A Im a fatty and trying to lose weight, have been put on "Xenical" by the doctor it speed's up weight loss and doesn't let your body digest saturated fats or fat which is over 5g's per 100grams. Don't think its complicated because it's not, if a dizzy cow like me can lose 2 stone in 10 weeks i'm sure you can do it too! Feel thankful you've got good husband, kid and lovely cat. I'm allergic to cats and love them, so i don't even have one (am allergic to fur, feather's and dust!) Try and get your kids hair cut as sort as possible and the mild tea tree shampoo i buy which is "Wilkinson's" own brand 89p for a huge bottle is the best shampoo in the world!! I did hairdressing at college many moon's ago and belive me have tried shampoo's!! this works on keeping nits at bay and the whole family use it! As for spending have a bit of an ebay problem myself and am skint, get depressed, can understand were your coming from, hope the virtual tea and sympathy helped best wishes to you and your family from claire.

My kids used to bring nits back from school in the 80's. In those long ago days, we could buy shampoo that was systemic and it zapped the lice and their eggs and then gave extended protection. Do the whole family and bob was your uncle.
Now its banned (like creosote and 101 other old remedies) it was probably a human form of sheep dip.

If you look at old paintings of royalty etc. from the Georgian period, all the top people are wearing wigs. This was not fashin this was to avoid nits, underneath they were shaved bald.

At night you took your wig off and put it in an over to bake the little blighters.
The term "fealing lousy" means exactly what it says, because lice can carry a virus that makes you feel like death warmed up.

Now that we are all feeling cheered up lets go for a walk in the woods and get limes disease from the ticks.

PS Anybody know how to get rid of clothes moths - the old remedies for them have been banned too.
