The paw paw cream is continuing its magic! The redness has almost completely gone, her face is clear of any redness. The only thing was she scratched her head pretty bad and left lots of bleeding scratches. Covered it in bicard soda paste, let it dry, then put more paw paw cream over it. She looks like a grease monkey from the 60's with her slicked back hair LOL !!! She is still scratching a little, but not as bad - thanks girls for suggesting the ointment. Next will try Simones oatmeal bath.

Bath - Chelsea loves medicine too!!! I have her telling me she is sick and needs medicine, then proceeds to do the fake cough. Gave Marley panadol after 4 mth injections and she almost threw it back up, she gagged, screamed, thrashed, didn't like it at all. I was also reading on the panadol bottles that the babies panadol requires refrigeration and the older one doesn't? Wonder why that is? Regarding the book, I think we could all use a copy, sounds good. Rained here for a while before, but still warm. News just said change might not reach Melb until 7pm tonight as it had only just got to Warrnambool - wish it would hurry.

IK - what photos are you using? Most photos look heaps better with the backing board, a more professional finish. Are you heading into local shops or big shops?

Simone - was it your parcel? Still haven't decided what time to shop yet. Hope H comes home at a decent time (doesn't sound likely), his xmas present to you this year could be to treat you with more respect and give some time off! Will let you know once I have decided.

Chelsea got some xmas presents today and I let her open 2. One was a Barbie Fairytopia head that you do its hair and it has a brush, hair clips etc. She has been getting all her scrunchies and hair clips, making some lovely hair dos! Other one was the cat from 12 Dancing Princesses, it meows when you tilt its head, very cute. She is raiding the pantry, must she what she is grabbing, likely the chocolate .....
