Really hope DH likes them, even for the novelty factor.
I've just had a lovely bath and feeling nicely relaxed. DD said to me "Mum, you're right you do take a glass of wine in the bath and your book" (like I'm lying?!?) when I'd come out, she said "Mum, you drank all your wine" lol she makes me giggle0 -

Not too sure about a bike ride....there's one spot that I do want to investigate having passed it in the car.
Filling for pie cooked and cooling.
I've dyed my hair so I don't look like a witch now, I must get it cut next month.
I've debugged DD's hair again, it's getting tedious....sigh!
Last load in the washing machine. I'm refusing to do the ironing, DH can do it **stamps foot**
Kids have allegedly done their homework, just need to sign their planners. DD told me she's another recipe for school.0 -
My dd used to get nits all the time. I use the nitty gritty comb with tea tree conditioner. She even got them recently at the age of 15!0

Have a lovely day x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”0

I hated the dreaded nits, I even caught them a couple of times :mad:.
Nit comb and conditioner is definitely the way to go. I used to comb night and morning for a week in case any more little b*****s hatched :eek:.
So glad that's a thing of the past :T.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally
