I too had a trial separation - from my exercise bike. I think I need to face facts that we are incompatible - however, last year when we were still in the honeymoon stage things were v v good (where DID that cellulite hide for 6 months? Must have been down the back of the settee). I feel I owe it to myself to make it work (also owe it to the ccard that brought us together) so i too will be trying again.
I also agree on the beef stew - but my version is various chicken casseroles - never manage to find 2 portions from the same batch so is always 'chicken suprise'.
Glad to hear the nitxtermination is going well - fingers crossed.A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effortMortgage Balance = £0

Hi Triker,
Haven't heard from you for a week or so, and was just curious to know wheter the kids have managed to stay 'Nit-Free' after the first week back at school.:DI am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

The problem with nits these days is that not enough parents comb through the hair. i have witnessed many parents just putting on the foam (which just sits on the hair and doesn't get to the scalp) and then just washing the stuff off and not botherring to comb through.
I was so fed up with infestations and trying everything from Neem oil to brand name chemicals, that i just comb a nit comb through my daughters hair everyday after spritzing Frizz Ease hair serum on. I spray it on the roots and comb through pulling out any insects,fluff etc.
I've found it the best solution so far cos now my daughter thinks it's the normal routine when brushing her hair.
So far, nit free!0 -
Oh my god, just look at that hair,
beautifully clean, shiny and fair.
Turn around darling - lets see your face
It's the triker girl, I'm all in a daze.
I'm biding my time and waiting in line,
the head that I'm on won't do for my rhyme.
Get closer, go on whisper - that's all that I need,
one jump - I'm there - now my offspring to breed.
First off a tasty supper of nectar so red
and then I'm off to the side of her head.
Oh heaven right here a nursery I've found,
I'm laying my eggs white, shiny and round.
I'm happy and content, life is so good.
Plenty of children and oodles of food.
But wait - who's this giantress that I spy?
Triker's mum! we all shout in one single cry.
Let battle begin you adversary of mine.
Do your worst, you won't hurt me this time.
Your lotions and potions will no longer kill,
Conditioner's fun and vinegar a thrill!!
You've tried and tried, threatened and cried,
every remedy going and I've laughed while you've sighed.
Each suggestion you get - even the one from the vet,
has miserably failed and left you in debt.
But wait what is this? MSE? MARTIN? THREAD????
What's this got to do with invading her head?
Oh I see the old fashioned remedies are out,
Go ahead Triker and knock yourself out.
They all don't work - You know I'm here to stay,
look there's a comb must be tip of the day.
Buy it my lovely - and see If I'm beaten,
I'll watch your despair as your failure deepens.
D day's arrived - here we go OH MY GOD!!!
She's broken my legs the miserable sod.
She thinks she's won, we are all nearly dead.
It's a pity she missed that last shiny new egg.If you are patient in one moment of anger, you will escape 100 days of sorrow.......Chinese proverb
