Hi everyone
Don't know if it's the heat getting to me or my hayfever or I'm just shattered but collapsed in bed after work exhausted but can't sleep

Can I ask some off toPic advice?
SIL just asked me if she could borrow some insect repellant, I haven't got any and she needs for her DDs trip tomorrow at a nature reserve ( why she's left it until the last minute grrrrr)
She doesn't drive and my brother working away today
I feel bad for just saying sorry I can't help you but that's the dr in me I'm afraid, always feel bad and totally get taken advantage of:(
Really don't feel like going to a chemist for her but was wondering if anyone knew any homemade repellant type remedies she could use

I remember a lot of talk on the old DTD thread but can't remember the remedy that was suggested, can anyone help

I'm still catching up from post 740, but just wanted to say quickly...

To those going to Goodwood tomorrow, I will have a big pink fluffy Animal (from The Muppets) backpack on so please feel free to give me a poke and say Hi!!

Evening

Nice one call of trouty. Need to re-stock my pizza stash as already getting low with DD and DS.

Do you have to have 8 items on receipt for JTD now or does it still work the old way at present

many thanks x

some skin so soft is meant to be a fab anti midge think,
also aparently t tree is good coz insects hate the smell. hope that helps hun, look after yourself, and your right about saying no sometimes. we can't always save other people, and i think us wifes mums especially in and caring sort of job are always expected to rescue everyone, learning to say no is the most powerful thing we can do, after all we need to look after ourselves to keep going xxxxxxxxx

The following may :eek: you:

All by the same seller.

:eek:

Think they'd do better selling as 10s rather than 100s

Don't think T will let you use 3 per fill up this time but if enough peeps clubbed together getting them at less than 50p each would be a pretty good deal, if they did allow 3 per transaction then <50p each would be a VERY good deal

For those that didn't know when the deal was on a couple of weeks ago T issued an edict to their staff that even though T&C's said one per transaction they should allow 3!! (I think the mozzies 12p/l was the reason) :beer:

I could be wrong but I thought any kind of lemon scent was a deterrent.

Hi celebrate
I used to get eaten alive when abroad, unless you fancy rubbing garlic all over her..(eating lots of garlic repels insects and people!).....I would highly recommend lemons......soak in boiled water overnight...........strain in morning and use resulting lemon water in a spray bottle. Not sure i would recommend for very young children or babies
hth and hope u get some sleep tonight.......xxx:A

Surely the guy listing must have some connection to tescos... not a chance can he just get his hands on them from wombling... plus they look in too good condition!
