Rory - gotta love an op shop bargain, hope you can go back and get it. Did you buy anything from Aldi. There are so many good things there and after reading the thread about it, I might try some other stuff that I have been reluctant to try.

Simone - I have Chelsea's party on 20 Jan and the following weekend is Aust Day, but we don't go away then so whatever weekend suits the majority. Can't wait.

CC - what medication did your friends kids have? The dr told me that cortisone is quiet strong and affects the way skin cells regenerate, so should only be used as a last resort and they may recommend 2 days on, 2 days off until its under control. She has been so ratty tonight, scratching like mad and then hurting herself. If it doesn't start improving soon, might have to go back to drs - feel so sorry for her as I know how annoying it is to be itchy. The heat doesn't help either and her skin feels quite hot. Was thinking of posting a thread about it and see what others have used. Should try the MooGoo, got nothing to lose but alot to gain if it helps.

Amanda - pics are beautiful! You have 4 very spunky little boys and chrissy tree looks fantastic!
