I'll deal with the psoriasis and eczema later!! So far I've got 5 of them done.. and hubby.. and me (I didn't have any and DS1 didn't have any but everyone else has!!) Just waiting for DD2 to come home from sharing her fleas at her friends and DS2 can be done next.. but I can't stop itching!!!!!! lol.. mad isn't it.. I have psychological bugs!

Hubby cooking dinner while I do the remaining 3 children!!

Sorry dear, wish I could be of more help. I so know how you feel, only I had it times 2 you have it x7. I think I used the full marks and others so much, the little critters were immune to it. We can get headlice stuff on prescription here, they cost a fortune don't they? (mind you, it was only one kind which whas useless to us)

going to get stuck into the kitchen now. The thought of a lovely shiny dishwasher will keep me going.

Not got very far at all with the kitchen yet. Hope to do a bit when the kids are in bed, will see how I feel. If not I'll be joing Pigpen with the Tuesday catchup

Evening all,
Hope everyone is well or at least getting better
poohbear - a big hug to you and another and another
Jill lovely to see you here
lil_me glad the house is going well
pigpen thanks for another week, the weekend lists didnt bother me i didnt do them but didnt feel guilty!!!
everyone else hello :wave:
newbies hello :wave: pigpen will soon whip you into shape

Done the kitchen as much as i want / need to its looking ok, but i have the chimney sweep in on thurs so not doing anything spectacular as i can clean it properly next week.

Food is cooking yummy yumm - sausages and colcanan and gravy. sooo hungry.

Off to london tomorrow for the day so not expecting anything to get done - a 14hr day is not conducive to housework!!

Right sausages are done - fooooooood

oh yes pigpen have you tried adding teatree oil to shampoo and conditioner for normal use as it normally helps me (i used to get it all the time from the kids but its not as bad now - still get it but not as often!!)

right sausages here i come.....

Didn't get any jobs done Ended up just managing to wash the dishes before OH came in as I got slightly distracted by "The Sarah Jane Adventures" :rolleyes::o:rotfl:

Oh well, DD has asked for pasta bake leftovers for lunch and OH didn't eat his (there was food laid on at school so he ate that instead:money: :rolleyes: ) so that means that I have no lunches to make up tonight I think I might go for a hot bubble bath & an early night. OH has said he'll wash up later :rotfl::rotfl: So when I get up in the morning I'll do the washing up (:rotfl:) make up DDs lunch (just a drink, fruit & the pasta bake) then I'll get the washing on and off to school. Easy, if I can just get motivated to move my fat ar*e :o I feel a "Paul McKenna - Instant Confidence" session coming on :rolleyes:

Laters :wave:

We were talking about bugs outside school today as kids found with them again (mine clear thankfully, joys of autism and keeping your distance usually) Everyone started scratching just thinking of them. I also use a tea tree and lavendar repellant, find it works well.

House is now cleared so we're clear to move but not completely moving in until 21st, doing it bit by bit so we can declutter at the same time, big stuff like appliances, our bed, sofas etc going on 21st. Boy do we need the declutter, amount of stuff I have cleared already! Been plastering in here tonight off where puppy decided to try to get through the wall, well you would think it the amount she dug. Think I will need more plaster. Packed the open university stuff tonight so that is a bag packed and flung a bag full of junk getting there. Oh erm, kitchen, erm, maybe later

Pigpen - I have a complaint......i've caught your psychological head lice. I can't stop scratching!!!

The kitchen doesn't look perfect as i've spent half the day trying to find new homes for all the things that were in the dining room and shouldn't have been there. DH had put it all in the kitchen whilst he did the dining room floor. Anyway, i've found homes for most stuff. I've also found some nice bookshelves to go in the alcoves in the dining room so we just need new skirting and the bookshelves and that room is done. One room done and the rest of the house to go!

Anyway, i'm going to put my feet up and watch some telly. I'll get up and do a fling during each of the commercial breaks. I need to change my flying round a bit this week and do darling rascals rooms tomorrow as I have the whole day to chuck things out....sorry, I meant tidy up for them! Can't wait.

Speak later xx
