Hi Julie, our 14-y-o daughter had them last week. She had the 'Full Marks' treatment; brilliant stuff.

This is the 4th time she has had them. I have my nit kit, comb pin and white paper. I comb the hair for the walkers then pick out the eggs with my nails. I have something called Priodrem which is good but i do try not to use it. Well i got a week before they go back to school.

when the little 'friends' visited my 3 daughters... i went and signed up at Boots for 'pharmacy first'.... i dont have to pay now for the nice mouse stuff that the little friends hate!... it would have cost me a fortune otherwise. Its a great scheme that means you dont have to go to the doctors anymore for certain basic medicines... including shhhhh..(nits)

Julie, Send for Roxanne. She,ll sort you out. Don,t know whether it,s like TB - making a come-back- or never been away. Certainly my two grand-children had visitors a couple of months ago. happy days
