    It's an alternative cure - you tape bits of banana skin the the verruca and it is supposed to clear them - trying it on DS2 tonight - will be a hoot:rotfl:

    Dusty...I thought all twins wanted to be the older one so I grabbed that spot and now you've taken it off me!!! I'm noticing so many lines on my face recently and I refuse to spend a fortune on creams and potions. Maybe that's the problem! Are you serious about banana and veruccas? My two have both got wopping great big veruccas. I file them back with a nail file after a bath (gently - honest) which makes them more comfortable but they're still bad. Let me know if it works. How are you keeping the banana attached?

    Yeah.....because I tidied under the bed day I found three presents I'd forgotton about so they'll be ok for the three parties my two have got coming up! I've also got a free cupboard in the kitchen because i've stopped buying a spray for each thing to be cleaned...honestly, I had a kitchen one, a bathroom one, a shower one, a laminate floor one, a vinyl floor one, a tile one. And guess what...they were all full coz i'd never used them.

    OH had me in stitches tonight. He asked me how i'd cleaned the windows as they were very sparkly. I told him it's just the tesco windowcleaner spray...very money saving. He cracked up...apparently he spilt it a few months ago and filled it with water!!!! Oh well, works for me xx

    I'm 38, got some grey hair (or is it white :eek: ) which I blame totally on my DH! I'm sure there weren't any grey hairs 18 months ago.

    Been out the house since this morning's school run until I picked them up this afternoon, a succession of meetings/chats etc with plenty of :coffee: to keep me going as there was no time for lunch.

    I'll take it you didn't do with veruccas what I did then?? I got out the nail clippers.. and the tweezers.. and chopped them out.. of DD1's foot!!! While sitting my 12 stone @r$e on her!!! Worked though.. especially when I filled the 'cavity' with bazucca or whatever it is called.. :D:D:D I was all things evil for weeks after that one.. currently I am all things evil because I flea combed her for 2 hours at the weekend AND put flea shampoo on her.. then flea combed her some more.. I'm such a fantastic mummy.. ask my children. they all hate me!

    DS1 hates me because I told him to be home at 9pm.. it is a school night.. and he will be in about 9:30 and to make matters worse.. when he stropped about.. I laughed!!

    I'll do nail pics later.. they haven't been resprayed today just 2 been fixed.. I'm having a respray on Friday so I look darn fine when I go out Friday night! :D.. they are going to be midnight blue with silver sparkly scrolls on them... match the sky!

    I never got the last bits photographed but I'll do those in a bit..
