Well done, @Pixie_Cosmo, @Brambling, @TornErse, @SanguineGina and @General_Grant for being at or nearly at target.
Have not stepped on the scales, been feeling under the weather, thought my itchy head was psoriasis, turns out it is shingles.... which last time started on my scalp and has again, but now on my chest and I would like to run the cheese grater over it!
Have a good week all, may have to join you all for the next quarter.
(Any recommendations to stop the itch are most welcome).

Jenny sorry you're not well. I think you can get medication to help but it has to be caught early to work. Does Calamine lotion work, I remembered being covered in it for chicken pox, also oatmeal baths again for chicken poxHave you had the vaccine to avoid it a third time?Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage - Anais Nin4
