    aldi have brill (but cheap) mp3 players. got my DS one when he was 10 - 12 now and he still loves it. it looks like an ipod but you dont have to worry about them losing expensive stuff while out and you dont need an apple account you just put their own cds on it.
    or a camera? he got one of those last christmas and loves it.

    hope the poorlies and upset are all feeling a little better this morning.

    have defrugged the puter (we only have 5% free space so need to find out off everyone what i can delete!!!)
    i am not getting sucked into family tree stuff today its already stolen 2 days off me this week, instead im sewing 9 badges on my DS2s new scout shirt. if i put them off they still wont be on next monday when he goes back. He got enroled last week so got given a hand full of badges and a book showing me where they need to go.

    hope all are well

    Thanks Bonnie. I won't use HC cream unless I absolutely have to I think it is very damaging esp in such little ones.

  • pigpen I struggled with the HC thing as well and boy did I have full and frank discussions re steroid inhalers for his asthma...

    I know it's not for everyone but he responded v well to homeopathic treatment, in fact this prob worked the best for him.

    Dusty it has got worse the last few weeks, mine has too, but we have had this on her face for months and it is better with savlon cream. In her ear crinnkles and behind are awful every few weeks but her poor underarms are nasty. Coupled with these things that look like bites she is a right old mess.

  • Bossymoo OH has a system whereby he keeps shrapnel in the car ashtray and tops it up when coins of a particular demonination are low. It works really well - if I try to ensure there's enough in my purse all the time, whenever I have a clear out for the Sealed Pot Challenge I end up with nothing. (The ashtray trick only works if you don't smoke!)

    Macpep1 I hope your preparations for the procedure preparations are going well and you're sleeping a bit more easily.

    This house needs dusting. The bathroom got a good going over yesterday during a HHC, so today I will be armed with a duster and go and move everthing that isn't nailed down. I've also armed myself with a vinegar and some bicarb to tackle the hems on the shower curtains again which are a bit yick. I'll deal with emails later.
    Better is good enough.

    So much to do here and what do we do - go food shopping, not much was needed but nice stuff was bought!!
    I've managed to put my old car on Ebay and have 1 watcher - lets hope that more watch and then a bidding war starts cos we need the money for Xmas,, NO idea what to buy the kids this year DS likes stuff to open so it has to be pressies but DD will want vouchers I think, well I hope so, DS also has his birthday end of Nov so that complicates things lol.

    Must get on . . . .
