Bath - my GF was in Malaysia last year for xmas, so it was stinking hot and so humid. This year she has freezing temps and snow!!! Would be pretty wouldn't it. Never been OS, so love hearing other peoples travel stories, makes me want to go! At least those of us who have traditional xmas lunches can enjoy it. I might make some lentil, bacon and veg soup for entree if it is going to be as cold as they say. The Manuka honey I have heard of, can you buy that in an ointment form from health food shops?

Ik - definately can't see the hills today. Pretty smoky outside. Hope you get all your washing done and time to chill out! Its fun going out to the all night shopping, seeing who else is a crazy as me LOL!!

Simone - DH shouldn't be dictating when you clean and use the internet - that's a little too controlling :mad: . You should be able to do what you want, when you want! Do a quick whizz around if you have to, but not because he told you to. It not very fair, but I know you know that. Go out for lunch and enjoy yourself. Housework will always be there when you get home LOL!!!

Thanks girls for the suggestions for Marley's eczema. I have heard of the paw paw cream and it's pretty greasy isn't it? I can't rub anything in too much as the friction of rubbing it in makes her skin too hot. Its so strange as no one in either side of our families has ever had eczema or any hayfever type allergies and it is usually hereditary. Chelsea never had skin problems! I hope it clears up soon as she looks terrible and I know its itchy her. Willing to try anything at the mo so keep any suggestions coming.
